In politics often people hide or try to hide their true identity and more often their religious affiliation.
We'll take 3 examples of politicians that may or may not be what the say they are,
Barack Hussein Obama the U.S. president has a muslim father but was raised by his christian mother, after his parent got separated at age of 2, Barack lived with his christian mother and
logically should have been brought up as a christian.
Barack says he is a christian and denies being a muslim, and all evidence and analysis back his statements.
Nicolas Sarkozy the French president has a Roman Catholicism father but was raised by his jewish mother and grandfather, after his parent got separated at age of 4, Nicolas lived with his Jewish family and
logically should have been brought up as a Jew.
Nicolas Sarkozy says he is a christian , but all evidence and analysis contradicts his statements.
Maybe Nicolas Sarkozy had to hide his religious true believes to get elected in this predominant christian country. But Nicolas Sarkozy always through his words and actions show support to the Jewish state Israel.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the Iranian president, is believed to be a Shiaa muslim, but both his parents are Jews, his father changed his name from Saborjhian* when the family moved to Tehran and converted to islam when he was at the age of 4, If Ahmadinejad father converted to islam sincerely what about his mother, and why it happened as if they are trying to adapt and flee their environment?
So if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a Jew or has Jewish roots why does he attacks so fiercely the Jewish state Israel? Why is he a holocaust denier ? is he a Jew hater ? is he a Self-hating Jew ?
or simply By making anti-Israeli statements he is trying to shed any suspicions about his Jewish connections.Because He feels vulnerable in a radical Shia society?
* a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver "weaver of the Sabour", the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia, the "jian" ending to the name specifically showed the family had been practicing Jews.
A media gameIt is also possible that some influential people want to destabilize Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran especially after the many attempts to topple him and the Iranian regime have failed. What a better way to make Iranians hate him then to make the international media tell them he has been lying to Iranians and all his condemning of Israel is just Hot Air.
