And he calls upon Muslims to be “bitter against the infidels,” as the translation below has it. Khamenei was referring to this Qur’an verse: “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are ruthless against the unbelievers and merciful among themselves.” (48:29)
Note also how Khamenei repeatedly refers to the U.S. as “the enemy.” Doesn’t that indicate that in sending six billion dollars to Iran, the Biden regime is giving aid and comfort to the enemy? And isn’t that the definition of treason?
“Leader: World on verge of transformation, US to become weaker,” Iran’s state-controlled Press TV, September 11, 2023:
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the world is on the threshold or the beginning of a transformation, which includes the weakening of the arrogant powers.
“The arrogant power of America and some European countries has weakened and will become weaker,” he said in a meeting with thousands of people from the provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan and South Khorasan in Tehran on Monday….
“Our information tells us that the American government has created a crisis group with the mission to search for the points which they think can be used to provoke a crisis in Iran.
“With contemplation and study, they have concluded that there are several crisis points in Iran: ethnic differences, religious differences, and the issue of gender and women, which should be provoked to create a crisis,” the Leader explained.
“This is America’s program but camels dream of cotton seeds,” Ayatollah Khamenei, using a famous Persian proverb to denote delusion….
Ayatollah Khamenei said, “The enemy is serious in its enmity and planning, but we are also very serious in confronting the enemy.”
“The enemy has targeted two basic points, one is national unity, the other is national security, and we must stand against this plan of the enemy.”…
“All people from different ethnicities and religion groups should join together. Since there is a clear direction, this unity is important,” the Leader said.
As for security, he said, “those who threaten national security are the enemies of the nation; they work for the enemy, whether they realize it or not”
‘Big change’
Ayatollah Khamenei said a big change is in the making in the world, toward which the regional nations should not be indifferent, as they were during the colonial era, or after the First World War.
“The main lines of this transformation are several things: First of all, the weakening of the world’s arrogant powers. The arrogant power of America has weakened and is getting weaker. Another main line of this evolution is the emergence of new regional and global powers.
“They themselves say that the indicators of American power in the world like economy are declining. One of the most important indicators of American power was the strong American economy; they say it is declining.”…
“The Western powers, which are headed by America and then Europe, do not have the former power today, they are weakening and this weakness is increasing. Day by day, new powers are rising; this is a great global change.”
Nevertheless, “when we say the enemy is becoming weak, it doesn’t mean that it cannot plot, be hostile and strike, it can,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“They are busy planning, we should not slumber, we should not be negligent.”…
“The Qur’an has given us a standard. The Qur’an says that ‘Muhammad is the Messenger of God and those who are with him.’ Are we with the Prophet or not? This is the way, it has a sign.
“’And those who are with Him are bitter against the infidels.’ If you see that the way we are going is a path that makes the infidels happy, know that you are not bitter against the infidels. So you are not with the Messenger of God, you are not with the Prophet.”…

If America at its best (it of course isn’t right now under the decrepit and despicable Biden and his handlers) is your enemy, then you have unwittingly revealed how vile you are.
Islam, all of it, comes to mind where this particular kind of vileness is concerned because the Islamic world could have never, would have never, created the United States of America (nor ancient Greece nor England nor the Dutch Republic, et al.), which polity (America) is just about the greatest, if not the greatest, a la Abraham Lincoln, best hope for mankind.
I invariably expect the Islamic world to get things ass-backwards (it almost never disappoints). To the extent that it does not see the greatness of America in the history of the human condition on this tiny planet we inhabit, it is dispositive of just how retrograde and stupid the Islamic sphere of mankind is. A given.
And thus the moronic and evil statements by a most deficient man, one Khamenei. No surprise. None at all for anyone who knows Islam’s true worth.

Perhaps that’s the intention of that treacherous traitorous fiend, Joe Biden. all along , to make the United State look weak and hasten the decline of America.
Biden is ,indeed, an disingenuous sinister liar and and subversive villain of the most despicable sorta
Ghislain Pilon says
Rotten apples are in the basket. The US is declining at a fast rate. Biden is in the basket but God sees all the moral decline in America. Wake up America before it’s too late. Repent and turn to God.

That detestable and demonic agenda of Joe Biden to harm American and likewise to further support and uphold that hostile anti-America tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran. All those goals of Biden is a horrendous evil.
So much so that Joe Biden with his horrific scheming is a very strong reflection of the verse in the Bible which informs its reader that even “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord.” [K.J.V.]
