Pope comment 'linked to crusade'
The Pope's statement has failed to defuse the anger of many Muslims.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said recent remarks by the Pope on Islam were in line with what he called a "crusade" against Muslims.
The background to the controversy, he said, was the "wish of powers whose survival depends on creating crises".
The row began last week, when the Pope repeated criticism of the Prophet Muhammad by a medieval scholar.
The speech sparked worldwide protests by Muslims. The Pope has apologised and said the views quoted were not his own.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the remarks by Pope Benedict XVI last Tuesday were the "latest link" in "the chain of a conspiracy to set in train a crusade".
Other links, he added, included the cartoon satirising Muhammad and "the insulting remarks of some American and European politicians and newspapers about Islam".
Influential Qatari Muslim scholar, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called for a day of anger on Friday.
