The outspoken Ayatollah Sane'i called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a â€˜bastard' who is out to destroy the Shia faith.

"What will destroy Shiism is saying in front of millions of people that the clerics and their children are thieves who have been stealing for thirty years," Sane'i said, in a video posted to YouTube apparently taken at a sermon in Gorgan.
