Khamenei: Allah will reprimand Iranians for not supporting nuke program

With Allah on our side. "Iran says God protects nuclear program," by Nasser Karimi for Associated Press (thanks to all who sent this in):

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Sunday that God would punish Iranians if they do not support the country's disputed nuclear program, state radio reported.

"The Iranian people openly announce that they will defend their rights... God will reprimand them if they do not do so," state radio quoted Khamenei as saying.

The 68-year-old ayatollah, who has final say on all state matters, said Washington's claim that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon is false. The Iranian government has long insisted its nuclear activities are only for peaceful generation of fuel.

"They know that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon, and they are just trying to block the Iranian nation from achieving advanced technology," Khamenei was quoted as saying in Tehran.

Yes, of course it isn't.

Iranian nation from achieving advanced technology when children cannot handle something you need to keep it away from them and often they will throw a temper tantrum. In all honesty, in my opinion. That's what the Iranians are really doing it till the Iranians leave their anti-Semitic beliefs along with the seventh century beliefs from the Koran. There is no way they will ever be ready to handle the power of the atom in any way shape or form
and they don't really need it with all the oil. They have under the deserts of Iran . But the thing is there to greatest enemy have the atomic bomb and like a spoiled two-year-old. They are crying, they have to have one to

The next time Ayatollah Ali Khamenei talks to Allah the all-knowing all-powerful, (long distance charges must be incredible) he needs to ask Allah why he hasn't destroyed the "Great Satan", and why Allah permits the entire Islamic world to wallow in poverty, corruption, and misery while the infidels continue to exist in greater numbers, under higher living standards.

Also, Khamenei needs to ask Allah (who controls the universe and everything that happened and will happen) why he controlled the infidels to develop nuclear technology 60+ years ago.

"The Iranian people openly announce that they will defend their rights... God will reprimand them if they do not do so,"

Now, is that written, or just a verbal reprimand? Because you know, a written one could stay in your file for eternity… maybe even longer.

Typical of powerless barbarians. Using their imaginary god as a whip.

Xero G, on the other side of the coin, Ali Khamenei can thank Allah for all the oil, and the infidels for developing it.

Hugh calls the oil in Arabia an accident of nature, but not one creationist has called him on it. Perhaps there are no creationists visiting Jihad Watch. Or else crationists cannot face the fact that all that oil lies under the land of the Muslims and not one drop lies under Israel.

. . .

Allah will reprimand Iranians for not supporting nuke program, but the reprimand usually has the hand of some government official behind it.

RalphInfidel, the first step is a verbal reprimand, then comes the written one, next comes three days off without pay, finally the Mullhas confiscate the offenders head.

Pelayo,

I guess the written one is a dotted line around the neck.

Ouch.

Posted by: RalphInfidel [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 18, 2008 6:19 PM

Plus the notation - Cut along dotted line.

I find the phrasing curious: "that God [allah] would punish Iranians if they do not support the country's disputed nuclear program".

He's not threatening the kfr - he's threatening his fellow countrymen.

This hints to me that there may not in fact be complete unanimity among the Persians about this particular 'science project'.

Perhaps there are those - among some of the scientists ? - who are getting jittery about what might happen if they spook the Israelis - or the Americans - or the Russians, even - once too often. Sure, most of the population is pretty thoroughly brainwashed and/ or terrified - but not everyone. Enough Persians have dumped Islam and become Christians, even in Persia itself, despite the appalling risks, even despite torture and killings, to suggest that not everyone has stopped thinking.

When Daniel Shayesteh, a Persian jihadi, fell out with the mullahs for political reasons, fled Persia, and came into contact with Christianity, one of the things that spurred his conversion to the Christian faith was a vivid dream.

"He was in his father’s house and heard Jesus call him to come out. He did, and the house crumbled behind him."

If Allah is all knowing, all powerful, creator of the universe, creator of life and the afterlife, creator of the past and the future, knows all that has ever happened and all that will ever be...Why would he become angry, disappointed or jealous? Doesn't he already know everything that will ever happen?

Trying to please Allah is akin to repeatedly viewing the film, "Titanic", and hoping that by your behavior, you can prevent the ship from sinking.

Posted by: Xero G [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 18, 2008 6:52 PM

So, since when did God need a nuke?

This is what happens when you place faith in lunatics.
