Ahmadinejad: ‘Let’s all love each other’
Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, an uncompromising hardliner who at one time symbolized Iranian defiance of the West, has been showing a gentler side on Twitter.
Today, sounding more like a ’60s counterculture icon than the once-leader of a despotic fundamentalist regime, he tweets about humanity’s common source, “the essence of love.”
The merciful creator created all human beings from the essence of love. Let's all love each other.
