'Jewish Ahmadinejad' blogger arrested -Sabina Amidi
The Iranian blogger who claimed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has Jewish roots, is being detained by the authorities, according to sources in Teheran.
Dr. Mehdi Khazali, [the blogger] was reportedly summoned to a special court convened for religious figures, detained and transferred to an unknown location.
The son of a prominent, conservative pro-Ahmadinejad ayatollah, Khazali wrote on his Web site earlier this year that the president - a Holocaust denier and relentless critic of Israel - was of partially Jewish origin, asserting that Ahmadinejad had changed his family name from Saburjian, and calling for the origins of the Saburjian family in the town of Aradan to be investigated.
The assertion featured in the bitter presidential election campaign, when rival reformist candidate Mehdi Karroubi challenged Ahmadinejad in a live TV debate, reportedly stating: "My full name is Mehdi Karroubi. What is your full name?"

UPDATE:
'Jewish' Ahmadinejad is a Fraud -Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
According to experts on Iranian history and culture, the recent Daily Telegraph article purporting to show that Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is Jewish is a fraud perpetrated by political opponents playing on anti-Semitic motivations.
