Kadhem al-Husseini al-Haeri
Joseph Farah at WND says that Iran has declared war on the US.
Nobody else is saying it, so, once again, it is left to me to explain what really happened in Iraq yesterday.Iran declared war on the U.S.
The signs have been there for a long time. I don't know if they have been intentionally ignored by U.S. forces in Iraq, or whether there is some master plan at the Defense Department to deal with this scenario.
All I can tell you is we are now fighting a regional war. Our local opposition in Iraq is being trained, armed and directed with foreign support – by neighboring Iran.
The uprising yesterday was treated in many initial news accounts as a spontaneous uprising directed by Najaf cleric Moktada al-Sadr.
What the other news accounts left out was one significant, but well-established fact: Al-Sadr works for Iran. He is an Iranian agent. His authority comes from Iran.
Last April, an Iranian cleric, Kadhem al-Husseini al-Haeri, issued a religious edict and distributed to Shiite mullahs in Iraq, calling on them "to seize the first possible opportunity to fill the power vacuum in the administration of Iraqi cities."
The edict, or fatwa, issued April 8, 2003, showed that Shiite clerics in Iraq are receiving significant direction from Iran. The edict said that Shiite leaders have to "seize as many positions as possible to impose a fait accompli for any coming government."
"People have to be taught not to collapse morally before the means used by the Great Satan if it stays in Iraq," the fatwa read. "It will try to spread moral decay, incite lust by allowing easy access to stimulating satellite channels and spread debauchery to weaken people's faith."
The fatwa also instructed the cleric's followers to "raise people's awareness of the Great Satan's plans and of the means to abort them."
On April 7, the day American troops effectively toppled Hussein's government by seizing its main seats of power in Baghdad, al-Haeri sent a handwritten letter to the city of Najaf, appointing Moktada al-Sadr as his deputy in Iraq.
Haeri wrote: "We hereby inform you that Mr. Moktada al-Sadr is our deputy and representative in all fatwa affairs."
It added: "His position is my position."
Also last April, WorldNetDaily reported that Iran had armed and trained some 40,000 Shiite Iraqi fighters – most former prisoners of war captured during the Iran-Iraq war – and sent them to Iraq to foment an Islamic revolution. The report originated in my premium, online, intelligence newsletter G2 Bulletin.
The report said this small army represents the vanguard of Iran's effort to subvert the U.S.-led liberation of Iraq and use the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime for its own ends.
"Ayatollah Mohammed Bakir Khakim is on record pledging more than once to his followers a plan to impose Islamic rule over Iraq with the help of Iran," reports G2 Bulletin. "The Tehran ayatollahs, or the Pasadran, the powerful revolutionary guard, repeatedly have been telling the Iraqis they would be their legitimate allies and partners. In such a scenario, there is no room for the U.S. The coalition that liberated Iraq is seen by the Iraqi Shiite militants and their Iranian sponsors as a tool for handing Iraq over to them without the need to use a massive force of their own."
Iran has clear objectives in Iraq. The only question is whether the United States still has clear objectives in Iraq – and whether Washington recognizes that this war front just got wider.
I guess the fatwa liked saddam and his morals. Iran has always been at war with the world, never mind the u.s. This backward country is as it should be in all islam countries, backward, it fits the islam pattern. They forgot one thing, they are satan (islam). It is time the youth of iran take control of their country, and join the rest of the modern world.
More here.
The youth of Iran wants to take over as well. They like the freedoms we have. And, they're not real fond of the Mullahs.
..."It will try to spread moral decay, incite lust by allowing easy access to stimulating satellite channels and spread debauchery to weaken people's faith."
[This part has some truth in it...I guess they saw what the effects of programming like MTV and other garbage T.V did to America's Christian moral fiber.] ...What gets me is that muslims still flock to "western" countries. Someone should issue a fatwa saying "All muslims stay in your own countries, do not go to western countries. All those that have left, must return to your native country or have your muslim membership revoked!!!"
A fatwa regarding muslim immigration to western countries ,has probably been issued,but it is stating just the contrary:muslims from all islamic countries should go to western countries in large numbers...they should not adopt the "dirty ways of life" of their infidel hosts,but they should keep their holy religion intact and at the same time they should multiply and get ready for the moment when they will be able to take over the host countries.
It is happening allover the civilized world,as we speak.
And since they have learned to use our civil liberties and himan rights aginst us,there is little that we can do,short of deporting them in mass and close our borders.
This is why I can't the possiblity of Islamic moderates. The fatwa is too powerful a motivational tool for clerics. Radical clerics have proven without any shadow of a doubt that they can turn previously the unaggressive into a frothing rabble by the use of the fatwa; they can contract for a hit; they can cow and terrorize the populations within their influence. No, Iran is merely one of many "states" that are at war with us.
And we have these vipers now in our midst. Ponder that.
These guys are like Jim Jones with a turban. Total lunatics, just put on a robe and everything you say is sacred, what fraud. Truly delusional, will lead their followers to suicide, just like the reverend Jim... Coolaid anyone????
Robert is right. Every single one of them is a time bomb. Unless Islam undergoes serious, fundamental change by altering its moral code from one based on death to one based on human life qua human life, we will always be at war.
Cubed, I wish you were right about changing them, but the seeds of their illness is in the Koran. Even if we could wave a magic wand and make all the terrorists disappear, sooner or later someone would read the Koran and get the message "kill the infidels" and it would start all over again. Islam can't be changed. It can only be eradicated. These people aren't just terrorists, they are Muslim fundamentalists. When you have a nest of vipers in your back yard do you only kill the ones that come in the house, or do you take out the whole nest?
