A major setback for Iran’s nuclear program, which means a great boon for the peace of the world.
“Live Updates: Iran’s Top Nuclear Scientist Killed in Attack, State Media Say,” by Farnaz Fassihi, Ronen Bergman and David E. Sanger, New York Times, November 27, 2020:
Iran’s top nuclear scientist, who American and Israeli intelligence have long charged was behind secret programs to design an atomic warhead, was shot and killed on Friday as he was traveling in a vehicle in northern Iran, Iranian state media reported.
The scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, believed to be 59, has been considered the driving force behind Iran’s nuclear weapons program for two decades, and continued to work after the main part of the effort was quietly disbanded in the early 2000s, according to American intelligence assessment.
Mr. Fakhrizadeh was shot as his car was driving through the countryside town of Absard, in the Damavand region, according to official Iranian media and state television.
The state media accounts said that Mr. Fakhrizadeh had been gravely wounded in the attack, and that doctors tried to save him in the hospital but could not.
The assassinated scientist had long been a target of Israel’s Mossad.
A shadowy figure, Mr. Fakhrizadeh had long been the No. 1 target of the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service, which is widely believed to be behind a series of assassinations more than eight years ago that included some of Mr. Fakhrizadeh’s deputies.
Iran never agreed to demands from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear monitoring agency, to let their inspectors question Mr. Fakhrizadeh, saying he was an academic who lectured at the Imam Hussein University in downtown Tehran….

This is good news.

Since i syarted reading this nadtu hateful website, have been puzzled by the continuous ugly propaganda that is based on lies and fabrications against Islam and Muslims, so I tried to do a mini research about the owner of this site, robert spencer , and to my surprise, I found that decent groups describe him as I did myself, and if you want to know what I think of him and his followers, the comentators on this website , then check Google, and if you want more specific, check the southern poverty law center website .
James Lincoln says
Sam,
If you actually trust Google search results and the Southern Poverty Law Center website for accurate information regarding islam and anti-jihadists, you are very naïve indeed…
Linde Barrera says
To Sam- Truthful reporting should never be classified as “hateful”.
You would not want to be called “delusional”, would you?
Please also remember there is a difference between “doctrine” and human behavior”. Doctrine is based on law and principle; human behavior is based on preferences and prejudices. While doctrine is supposed to guide and influence human behavior for the better, it does not always. Prime example:
verses 8:12 and 9:5 in the Quran.
96% of the world’s Muslims do not
follow these verses, thankfully, but the 4% who do create widespread death and destruction.
JihadWatch.org alerts people to
the dysfunctional parts of the
Quran, and that is a good thing.
FREE SPEECH FOREVER.
Sam says
This is where stupidity shine, when you take a verse from the Quran that was ” downloded ” into Mohammed’s brain at a fixed time and for a precise event taken to be a call to violence today against all, well, this is how Spencer and likes interact and behave to spread their lies against Muslims in general, a behaviour that is skiunky, dirty and indicate a huge lust for blood.
95% of the crimes that are committed in Europe by migrants are simply criminal acts, committed by criminals due to poverty and lack of money or being high on drugs or drunk by alcohol, nothing to do with Islam and it’s actual teachings .
Of course, there are few crimes that are committed by muslims against Christians due to revenge, hatred and ugly misinterpretation of the Quran, that’s all.
90% of crimes against Europeans that are mentioned by news and press media agencies are false flags done by the mossad and similar western groups, also, some of those who commit crimes are actually hypnotized and act based on the orders of those who benefit through wars and hate.
I have shown several of my friends this filthy website, all has wondered of the magnitude of ugly propaganda and/or how stupid is the content and how foolish are the believers, my friends are Europeans, marines, Arabs, Americans etc.

Note that “Sam” does not say what is “hateful” about opposing Jihad terror–but then, he’s got nothing.

Pious Muslims consider the Qur’an to be “uncreated” and good for all time. The claim that its diktats were only intended to last for a limited amount of time is *quite* false.
Note, again, that he is unable to point to anything here that is untrue.
Then, the idea that pointing out that Islam is violent indicates a lust for blood is nothing but projection.
More:
95% of the crimes that are committed in Europe by migrants are simply criminal acts, committed by criminals due to poverty and lack of money or being high on drugs or drunk by alcohol, nothing to do with Islam and it’s actual teachings .

Firstly, Muslims have flooded into Europe–no one has forced them to do so.
Europe offers enormous opportunity to Muslims, as well as places to live, benefits, and education and health care. The idea that Muslims have the right to commit crimes against their benefactors is *just sickening*.
Then, the claim that Jihad terror has nothing to do with Jihad terror is *quite* false. Muslims often scream “Allahu Akbar!” as they rape, stab, and murder their Infidel victims. Muslim clerics preach the waging of violent Jihad, and do so on the texts and tenets of Islam.
More:
Of course, there are few crimes that are committed by muslims against Christians due to revenge, hatred and ugly misinterpretation of the Quran, that’s all.
…………………………….
Now the vile “Sam” is saying that Muslims have the right to murder Infidels if some of them “misrepresent the Qur’an”. Doesn’t the witless “Sam” here realize that he is contradicting himself here?
He is saying that if you say that the Qur’an teaches violence, that Muslims have the right to murder you as “revenge”.
More:
90% of crimes against Europeans that are mentioned by news and press media agencies are false flags done by the mossad and similar western groups, also, some of those who commit crimes are actually hypnotized and act based on the orders of those who benefit through wars and hate.
…………………………….
Ah–so Jihad is either just understandable crime because European Infidels haven’t forked over even more bennies to Muslim invaders, is done for understandible “revenge” against Infidels for saying that Islam is violent, or is actually done by Jews and other ‘filthy Infidels’ to make Islam look bad.
If Jihad is actually waged by Jews, why do so many Muslims both preach Jihad and celebrate the murder of Infidels in Jihad? Isn’t that stupid, if all Jihadists are actually Jews?

Wait–some of “Sam’s” friends consider opposing the horrors of Jihad and Shari’ah to be “filthy”? I’m shocked, shocked…oh, wair…no, I’m not.
And the claim that the Marines are pro-Jihad is actually quite false–as is the implication that many Americans are.
James Lincoln says
Sam,
Simple questions:
1. Do you support islam?
2. Do you support migration of muslims into Western countries?
3. Are you a muslim?
4. Are you a muslim apologist?
5. If you believe that Jihad Watch is a “filthy” website, why do you bother to visit it?
Sam says
I do not support violence regardless of who is the aggressor… I’m not a religionists, I’m a believer in a creator, that’s all.
I don’t support migration from any where to any where, but w3 have to stop destroying countries then blame the survivors there of leaving their lands to migrate some where else … we have destroyed their lands, stole their wealth and left them hungry, what should they do?kiss our butt?
I’m not a Muslim apologist, I’m a humanist, I do not like hateful propaganda, it’s a shameful way, it’s deception … I believe that humans should try the best of their best to resolve all problems and reach a final and total peace amongst all … what else?

………………………
And yet, “Sam” above justified Jihad terror against Infidels if some of them supposedly “misinterpret” the Qur’an. He wrote, just above:
Of course, there are few crimes that are committed by muslims against Christians due to revenge, hatred and ugly misinterpretation of the Quran, that’s all.
https://jihadwatch.org/2020/11/islamic-republic-of-irans-top-nuclear-scientist-is-shot-and-killed#comment-2298704
His saying “that’s all” shows how he minimizes these horrors.
More:

………………………
So our trying to, say, stop the Islamic State from speeading or trying to prevent the Taliban from stoning women to death is “destroying” Muslim nations? I agree that our trying to civilize Muslim lands is a fool’s errand, but this is another matter. And the idea that such actions cause Muslims to starve or that we are “taking their wealth” makes no sense at all–in fact, we have poured money into Afghanistan and Iraq.
Then, most of the Muslim invaders flooding into the West now are not from nations we have had anything to do with at all. Many are coming from places like Pakistan, Algeria, and sub-Saharan Africa. How does tghis have anything to do with us? Of course, it does not.

………………………
Note–again, that “Sam” does not actually say what Jihad Whatch has gotten wrong–because he’s got nothing.
Then, the idea that Jihadists slaughting those who do not submit to Islam is somehow “resolving problems” only makes sense if one adheres to the horrors of Islam as preached, and that “a final and total peace” only exists once all unbelievers are either converted to Islam or murdered outright. *Ugh*.

“I do not support violence regardless of who is the aggressor.”
How about Hitler? Kim Il-sung? Mussolini? The Japanese in 1937 in Nanking? Al-Qaeda? ISIS? Boko Haram? A very long list to be sure.
Refusing to use violence in order to terminate violent, murderous people, organizations and regimes is itself immoral. Immensely so. Ponder this hypothesis for a while—and then even a little while longer. You have much need to do so.
Pacifism in the face of evil is as bad, if not worse, than evil itself because it prolongs the life of evil. Pacifism only works if everyone is a pacifist, which will never happen.
Learn.
Giacomo Latta says
Well, placing the phrases ”lies and fabrications” and ”southern poverty law center” together in the same paragraph was perfectly valid. However, you err in implying that this a propaganda website. If that is what you are looking for then please return to the SPLC website that is obviously so near and dear to you.
Sam says
Oh wow … just because they don’t suit your way of thinking makes them bad? Isn’t it a stupid and an uncivil dirty manner!
I leave the answer to civil and educated readers.
gravenimage says
No, opposing the horrors of Jihad is not “a stupid and uncivil dirty manner”. Would “Sam” here have said the same about those opposing the savagery of Hitler? LIkely so…
Wellington says
Sam, gravenimage, is either a simpleton or a deceiver. Possibly both.
In any case, fine rebukes of “Sam’ by you on this thread.
Message to Sam: Seek help. Soon like.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Wellington. As for “Sam”, since he has justified Muslim violence towards random Infidels merely if some non-Muslims have said that Islam is violent, I think it is clear that he is *far, far* worse than some naive sort who just desperately wants to believe that Islam is a “religion of peace”.
JANET says
Just leave fool . There is no use for any of your prattle and lies. Islam does not belong in the USA . You are the example of the enemy.

Good things do happen in the world, another bad guy gone. Sad part is their are a hell of a lot more of them around the world. Stay ALERT!

Mojdeh, I hope you are right and that the Iranioan people kick the Mullahs to the curb. It’s been over forty years now, though, so I am sadly not holding my breath.
