Iran’s Supreme Leader warns U.S. of impending jihad

You mean it hasn't started yet?

Watch for the Muslims' great inner spiritual struggle against the West, coming soon. What's that? Khamenei is talking about armed struggle? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe? From Iran Focus, with thanks to Mackie:

Tehran, Iran, Aug. 02 – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blasted United States policy in the Middle East and warned of an impending Muslim “jihad”, or holy war, against the West.

“Today, it is clear for everyone that the aggression against Lebanon was a premeditated U.S.-Zionist action as a key step in the path of dominating the Middle East and the Islamic world”, Khamenei said. His comments were reported in the official news agency IRNA and aired in part on state television on Wednesday.

“Today, Muslim nations more than ever despise the U.S.”, he said.

“With its support of the Zionists crimes and criminals and its blatant aggression against the rights of Muslim nations, the U.S. regime must be prepared for a hard slap and a destructive punch by Muslims”, Khamenei said.

“The U.S. is following a policy of creating insecurity, crisis, and war in the region”, he said, adding, “It must know that the more it expands insecurity, the more it will arouse the anger of nations against it and make the world insecure for itself”.

Khamenei praised the Lebanese militia Hezbollah for taking part in a “jihad” against the “enemies of Islam”, stating that the group was on the “frontline” of the defence of Muslims.

“The aggressive actions and nature of the U.S. and Israel will revive the spirit of resistance in the Islamic world and will make the value of jihad more prevalent for it”, Khamenei added.

“Islamic Iran believes resistance against American bullying and aggression and mischief by Israel to be its duty and will stand alongside all oppressed nations, especially the dear people of Lebanon and the combatant Palestinian nation”, he added.

Jihad for the USA was started nearly some 5 years ago called September 11th, 2001.

And more than ever, Americans despise islam and who ever is a member of the cult.

Sounds like a formal declaration of war to me. Be ready.

Reminds of Hizbullah's threats after the staged Qana massacre: "We will bring revenge".

My reaction: "Huh?! Like, what have you been doing up 'til now--playing at the beach?!"

Posted by: ZionistYoungster [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 10:42 AM

I think what he means by "impending jihad" is a physical attack on the US by Iran. That could be conventional or nuclear. August 22 is approaching. Hold on to your hats and get the hell out of New York.

I predicted to family and friends on September 12, 2001, that New York City had less than 10 years to live. They thought I was crazy. I am almost positive that that will turn out to be correct.

The deadline, not me being crazy. LOL

“Today, Muslim nations more than ever despise the U.S.”

Fortunately, I believe the reverse to be true.

Ah yes--allahaha demands Jihad to counter the "mischief" of the Joooooos.

Freakin' animals. Crush 'em til they bleed oil, and to hell with the EU's dhimmified horror and outrage.

Bombs found on two German commuter trains:

the 1.st bomb was found in a suitcase on Monday on a regional train between the cities of Aachen and Hamm, and has been deposited at the lost luggage department at Dortmund central station.
The second bomb (apparently identical) has been found on Tuesday in a bag left on the regional express Moenchengladbach - Koblenz.
Both bombs were equipped with gazbottles, 2 bottles of liquid gas, detonators, batteries.

Old news....

I keep hearing Iran saying Muslim nations must unite the time has come....down with the Zionist west.... Israel must be destoyed.... America will burn.... over and over again!

I am tired of hearing this attack already and lets finish it!

But I don't think they will attack they like to use terrorist ways sending young brainwashed unemployed fools into jihad. While the big fat Mullahs and Imans sit back and rake in money from oil and get to marry many children.

I think Iran is the main threat to the saftey of the US and its friends. A blind man can see they will continue to reject and stall on the nuke issue until they are ready to use them. Better get them first I say!

Let's see,
Pick, pick, pick at Israel. Lobbing explosives of various kinds into Israel. Kidnap soldiers. When Israel says enough, all the sudden Israel is causing it all.
Muslims are irrational.

This week will see the use of Iranian supplied medium range missiles into Israel. The more Hizbulla are backed into a corner the more likely these will have an 'unconventional' payload. That will initiate an 'unconventional' response - probably the next day by Israel on Damascus and possibly Iran.

Watch this space.

On another note, the less we act now the more serious it will get for everyone.

Take the gloves off and take the initiative.
The muslims will always hate us anyway and does it really matter whether they hate us 1% more than they already do? Its like saying if you annoy me i will get more murderously angry than i already am, and i will doubly more want to destroy you!

Translation: Coming Soon...Jihad Sale! Plenty of real estate for sale in many areas throughout the country formerly known as Iran, especially around the city formerly known as Tehran. Housing status: definately fixer-uppers. Great deals at great prices. Disclaimer: land possesses fatally high levels of radioactivity, making habitation of your new home not possible for 200 years. (Special thanks and recognition to the diminutive little pencil-neck President of Iran and his equally insane cohort the supreme Ayotollah for the decisions made that make this land available to all except Iranians, all of whom perished in their great jihad.)

After they're nuked and we get to see all the suffering left alive and the ashes of the dead I've got one question:

Who wants to make a bet that god DOESN'T show up?

Posted by: Quantum Infidel [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 11:55 AM

"Iran's Supreme Leader warns...."

Yeah - Yeah!

How long have we (the West) been living with this threat; and how many times has it been an empty one? May I borrow someone's fingers and toes?

The more Hizbulla are backed into a corner the more likely these will have an 'unconventional' payload. That will initiate an 'unconventional' response - probably ....


....like restitution for all the Hizbulla as mandated by the ICC after Israel is sued in this phony court.

And there's this gem:


Prime Minister Ehud Olmert' s declaration Wednesday that the war in Lebanon will create new momentum for further West Bank pullouts ...

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3285296,00.html

It is truly amazing how so many people -- including Olmert apparently -- want to surrender to this Hezbolla vermin and garner instant gratification from surrendering to tyranny!

What's wrong with "instant gratification" you ask? Apparently, it just isn't fast enough for some individuals!

Posted by: witness [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 12:05 PM

Bring it on, I say.

Seriously, let’s have one hell of a devastating catastrophe in the US and let’s just see what happens next. They think we’re tough on the poor, victimized Muslims now, but we’ve been in a MAD situation before during the cold war and should something truly disastrous happen in the US to the point where it looks like our society is in demise, we’ll certainly make sure that we’re not going out alone. They think that we love life and fear death, but they’re only half right …we love life, but fearing death is not in our nature. We fear very little and these throwbacks to the Middle Ages are children who aren’t to be feared, but rather in need of being taught how to properly respect others.

Should Iran directly attack the US (through terrorist attacks or whatever) Iran will surely be turned to glass. On a more local level, Muslims will be forcibly pulled out into the streets and killed. I guarantee it. Beheadings? Sure, there’ll be plenty of those happening to Muslims. In fact, they’ll be dismembered one by one and hung from the highest poles and we’ll refuse to apologize to the fragile sensitivities of the apocalyptic breeders around the globe …sure, we’re not the barbaric, backwards animals that the Muslims have proven themselves to be, but I think one good turn deserves another and I, personally, will happily participate in getting my own two hands dirty with the blood of the guilty, should the need arise.

What do they expect? To take us over, raise the flag over Washington, and have an Islamic state here? Wrong! If that ever happens, I personally will pull my own taquiyya on them, claim to be a Muslim, travel to Mecca and detonate my own bombs there –take the fight back over to them, if you will. If Islam were to dominate the world, the world would fight back and there will never be any lasting peace with the corrupt satanic death cult that has passed itself off for too long as a ‘religion’.

Mecca and the damned ‘religion’ of Islam will perish and fall should the murderous death cult keep pushing us.

Keep it up. Bring it on.

Iran declared war on the US 27 years ago (embassy takeover). To date the US has never taken action. AND if you note. the current Iranian President Ahmadinejad was in the forefront at the embassy takeover 27 years ago.
He has been harboring hate for a long time.
Soon, it will be time for payback.

Posted by: exsgtbrown [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 12:16 PM


Remember Baghdad-Bob , he gave daily reports of the crushed infidel dogs that were killed by the mighty warriors for Allah .
Even when US cobra's flew behind him in the news backdrops and Abrams tanks were coming down the street, he spewed his Islamic tripe .

Now we have the Hezbollah , they claim they crushed the Zionist invaders that were trapped in a building , but the truth is these girly-men that use civilians as shields were bitch-slapped by commandos that actually flew by chopper that inserted a team , capture prisoners , and did an extraction to return without one casuality .

I now see why Hamas and Hezbollah idiots parade around with hoods and do their funny Gayish dance with a AK-47 , the jihadists actually circle the same street like a merry-go-round and appear to be a massive army , except it's the same 200 yahoo's in desguise prentending to be mighty warriors .

Posted by: ala-sux [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 12:17 PM

I'm quite concerned. IntelCenter analysis indicates al-Qaeda may have completed its warning cycle for a mass casualty attack in CONUS, and a heightened threat now exists. Although Iran only possesses chemical weapons at this time. Maybe they're planning to use that against Israel. I've had that nervous feeling of impending doom for a month now, same as I had the summer of 2001.

Posted by: Bonniea [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 12:20 PM

Sign of desperation because Hezbollah is losing war to Isreal.

Posted by: bigcatgirl13106 [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 12:22 PM


Jihad started in Canada in 1989 when 14 female students were segregated for murder by a Jihadist
that learned his hate from a Pro-Shria Algerian Father.
The media has still avoided the killers obsession with Islam and killing for Allah , read about his mass murder that still holds the record in canada as the worse slaughter and attack on females.

Reading shit like this makes me desperately hope that a Ronald Reagan comes forth in the 2008 election. The incumbent president will never be able to convince our strongest potential allies that we are morally correct, as Ronald Reagan was able to deonstrate that we are the good guys and the Soviet Union was evil. Bush is too strongly disliked because of Iraq, regardless of how correct his actions were or are.

Few candidates have the international star power to unite our allies and potential allies against islamic jihad... Giuliani and Hillary Clinton have international respect, with Rice's reputation currently on the line in the Levant. Their reputation and diplomatic skill, combined with a sincere determination to defeat the enemy, should be the highest priority in 2008. There is no greater issue.

Whether it's WWIII or some less-ominous nomenclature, the fight against jihad requires an allied front, which can't be assembled unless our allies believe that we're morally correct.

The only other path to a united front would be another September 11.

It is true that Iran supplied Hezbollah with missiles. It is also true that these missiles were delivered to Iran aboard cargo ships from North Korea not too long ago.
The US was monitoring the ships movements and was undecisive as to what action to take.
Seizing and searching the ship on the open ocean would have surely created another "incident". I would have considered it a payback for the Pueblo incident.Had we something on record such as sanctions on missiles, we could have taken out the missiles as they were being unloaded at the dock. These missiles certainly could be armed with chemical, biological and nuclear warheads.

When the Koreans were testing their missiles some time ago, Iranian technicians were in N.Korea at the time watching the tests. It reminds me of a car salesman trying to sell you a car.

When it comes to terrorists, quick and deadly actions are to be considered best (most of the time). Their plans are not cleverly concealed.

MINNIE IS thumbing his nose at the world and yet we want to have "resolutions" "negotiations" and "dialogue". All that is needed is something that goes BOOOOOOOOOM.

Posted by: exsgtbrown [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 1:00 PM

What I can’t figure out is the reason for Iran’s saber-rattling. Why would Ahmedinejad threaten an armed conflict, which he would lose, when he could quietly sit back and become a nuclear power? I’ve been trying to figure out if this guy is posturing or just plain nuts. I’m starting to think he’s nuts and driven by megalomania.

He’s got a card to play and wants to put it on the table. Lets hope our response will be decisive. This guy's successor may be smarter.

They have already won the war. The human race is producing more Muslims than it is Christians. Western civilization, drowning in ignorance and ashamed of its Christian roots, refuses to see Islam for what it is - the ultimate plague of mankind. Unless our leaders choose the Christian side, this plague will acquire nuclear weapons and use them to destroy the world. Anyone up for a rewrite of the Quran?

No bigcatgirl, it started in 1979 when the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (Ahmadinejad among them or not) took control of the US embassy in Iran and held its employees hostage for however long and continued in the 1980s to include the bombing of the military building in Beirut that resulted in nearly 300 dead US servicemen.

Jan III Sobieski : you are hoping for a Reagan type and Iran and the boys are biding their time waiting for 2008 so a Democrat can take over, cut and run us out of Iraq (so Iran can take over there and do exactly what they want) and the Dem president her in the US will do nothing but 'condemn ' it in the UN but do nothing. They know as long as GWB is in office they risk getting their butts kicked, but with a Dem in office the world will be their playground..God help us if a Dem gets in, we need someone like Newt who understands what is at stake.

waterdragon52,

What happened leading up to 9/11 was one big rehersel leading up to 9/11. What happened elsewhere of jihadi attacks simply was a buildup to 9/11 when an outright attack took place on US teritory.

Posted by: bigcatgirl13106 [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 4:36 PM

If they hit us, we use ICBMs to hit Teheran, Isfahan, Masad, Qom, Tabirz, Shiraz, Bandar Abbas, etc. etc. etc.

l guess the iran clown thinks that Bush and Israeli government planned on Hezbollah going into Isreael and killing and taking Isreali soldiers, and then used that as an excues to crush ol Hezbollah. what l really do know is that Hezbollah with Iran did not think Israel would respond that fiercely!

Posted by: ZenaWarriorPrincess [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 6:15 PM

Bonniea, I am expecting something bad as well. Possibly on the scale or worse than 911.

Iran is expecting their 12th Imam to show up in southern Iran soon, where he will gather his army and go into Iraq to attack. From there, they plan to head towards Syria....this according to a Shi-ite blog site.

I wonder if Iraq isn't planning to attack our bases in the region at the same time they attack Israel with non-conventional weapons (obtained from N Korea) at the SAME time North Korea lobbs missiles at our bases in the Pacific and possibly at our mainland.

I too and others I know, have a similar feeling of impending doom. We have stocked our pantry, fueled our vehicles, filled our prescriptions, and taken out cash.

There is some significance to August 7 AND August 22, so anything can happen between now and then. These folks are nuts and I put nothing past them in their attempts to force Islam down everyone's throats.

Posted by: The Goobs [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 6:31 PM

The Goobs,

whats significant about August 7 ?

Posted by: Patriot8 [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 6:50 PM

I hear ya Goobs. I've been debating on whether to buy a new car, but think I'll hold off because if we get hit again, our economy will go in the toilet. It's that nervous feeling of impending doom for no apparent reason. This time I don't know whether it's Al Qaeda or Iran or maybe both together attacking us and/or Israel. It's not the final battle though because there is to be an attack on Israel that will scare the daylights out of them, as a prelude to Armageddon. After that attack, there will be a temporary peace for 3+ years. I appreciate the information you share here Goobs. You're quite knowledgable and accurate.

Posted by: Bonniea [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 8:48 PM

Patriot - all I could find on August 7 was the following (the first comment from another writer on this website). I did a little searching myself and found the second item. It may be that we need to be alert from 7 August through 22 August.

"I wonder if somebody has heard about the 7th of August, 2006. Written in dd/mm/yy format, it reads 786. This number, written in arabic, some say stands for 'allah' and some say that it points to sura of that number in the koran that calls for killing infidels. muslims consider this number to be holy and try and get vehicles with such a registration number, they collect notes which have this number in its series, and they write this number in all their taxis and homes. 7th of August is approaching. Fast.
Posted by: arjun.sevak

Some Muslims, mainly from the Indian subcontinent, place emphasis on the number 786 citing that the Arabic letters of the opening phrase of the Qur'an, Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, ("In the name of God, the Compassionate and Merciful") sum to the numerical value 786. Some, therefore, may be looking forward to the 7th of August this year.

Posted by: The Goobs [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 9:23 PM

Thanx,kinda like how they are geeked about the number 19.

Posted by: Patriot8 [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 2, 2006 9:32 PM

Never listen to anything a Muslim tells you. Especially if it's from this guy, the ayatollah whatshisname of shitkrik.
