The Ayatollah’s accusations and holier-than-thou stance is preposterous. The Islamic state of Iran murders its protesters and jails dissidents without due process. Khamenei is again swaying the minds of his own people against the US with more of the propaganda that is common in the Islamic Republic. Imagine what would happen if hundreds of thousands of […]
Khamenei: ‘US wanted to start a civil war in Iran, and now Allah has afflicted them with the same predicament’
Khamenei claims that the unrest in the U.S. is the work of Allah. The unrest in Iran, however, is not the work of Allah, but of the “global arrogance,” i.e., the U.S., and the “Zionist regime.” The inconsistency is never addressed. “Iran’s supreme leader uses storming of the Capitol to ridicule the US and says […]
Iran publishes video: If Jesus were among us today, He’d be fighting against the US
The video says that the U.S. is the cruelest and most oppressive government on earth, persecuting its own people and interfering around the world. This appears to be a classic case of projection. See the video here. “Video: If Jesus were among us today, who would He be fighting against?,” Ahlul Bayt News Agency, January […]
Khamenei: ‘When Islam dominated non-Muslim regions, the followers of other religions were grateful to Muslims’
As-Sawi specifies that the payment of the jizya, the Qur’anic tax that non-Muslims must pay to Muslims as a sign of their submission (Qur’an 9:29), signifies that the non-Muslims are “humble and obedient to the judgements of Islam.” The Bedouin commander al-Mughira bin Sa’d, who when he met his Persian counterpart Rustam, said: “I call […]
Islamic Republic of Iran: Turkey’s Erdogan champions Islam only as a tool to further his own interests
Although Iran and Turkey have been friends of convenience because of the fact that they share mutual enemies, both Shia Iran and Sunni Turkey seek regional and ultimately global dominion. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before their ambitions collided, particularly also in light of the ancient and ongoing Sunni-Shia conflict. “Anti-Turkish Statements […]
Iran’s Economy In Free Fall
Iran’s economy has been suffering greatly from the Trump Administration’s re-imposition of sanctions. Majid Rafizadeh recently provided a report on just how bad things have become for the Islamic Republic: “Iran’s Mullahs are in Turmoil Thanks to America’s Current Policy,” Gatestone Institute, November 2, 2020: …Iran’s currency, the rial, lost more than half its value […]
Iran’s Khamenei: ‘Muslim nations will never accept the humiliation of compromising with the Zionist regime’
While Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan are normalizing relations with Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran remains determined to obliterate Israel, as the Palestinian Arabs and their allies have vowed to do since the birth of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Although the Palestinians claim to want a “two-state” solution, a […]
Khamenei: ‘UAE acts in agreement with filthy Zionist agents of the US – such as the Jewish member of Trump’s family’
But of course Twitter, which is acting with increasing impunity against all dissenters from the far-Left agenda, including President Trump himself, doesn’t flag Khamenei. His interests coincide with theirs. “Ayatollah Decries ‘Filthy Zionist Agents of the US – Such as the Jewish Member of Trump’s Family,’” by Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, September 2, 2020: (CNSNews.com) […]
Iran: ‘The UAE’s great betrayal of the Palestinian people will turn this country into a legitimate and easy target’
This is the expected reaction, but this time pragmatic considerations are getting more attention than usual, and the Islamic world is not marching in lockstep with this theme. “Iran threatens to attack UAE over Israel deal,” Arab News, August 16, 2020: DUBAI/PARIS/ANKARA: Iran issued an explicit threat on Saturday to launch an attack against the UAE […]
Twitter Allows Iran’s Supreme Leader to Keep Posting His Annihilationist Threats
While Twitter allowed the rapper Wiley to post his antisemitic rants, and only banned him from the platform after a widespread boycott of Twitter was underway, it has been consistently solicitous of another, much more dangerous antisemite, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The story is here. A Twitter official on Wednesday informed […]
