Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is revealed to have Jewish past according to a report in the Telegraph newspaper (link).A photograph of Ahmadinejad, holding up his identity card, during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots. He was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver. Sabourjian is a well known Jewish name in Iran.
A note on the card suggests his family changed its name to Ahmadinejad when they converted to Islam after his birth.
