I don't think he qualifies as being a bigot, especially since, as you say, the mistranslations and the media war is being won by the west.

We can't confuse Israeli foreign policy with average innocent Jews. Even many Jews speak out against the war crimes conducted by the Zionist regime. http://www.opendemocracy.net/forum/2007/10/13/if_ahmadinejad_is_anti_semitic_explain_this#comment democracy & power Sat, 13 Oct 2007 08:40:25 +0100 mirkokick 34791 at http://www.opendemocracy.net
