Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Khamenei: ‘There is No Way to Confront… the Zionists… and the ‘Great Satan’ Except Through Martyrdom’

Aug 3, 2006 4:10 pm By Robert Spencer

Well, Khamenei, if that’s what you really want…

Note his attempts to keep Middle Eastern Christians firmly in the dhimmi camp. “Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei: ‘America Can Expect a Resounding Slap and a Devastating Fist-Blow From the Muslim Nation’; Hizbullah is the Muslim Nation’s ‘Front Line of Defense’; ‘There is No Way to Confront… the Zionists… and the ‘Great Satan’ Except Through Martyrdom,'” from MEMRI, with thanks to David:

On August 2, 2006, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei issued a communiqué to the Islamic nation, which was published by the conservative Iranian news agency Fars.

The following are excerpts: [1]

[…]

“Today, everyone realizes that the attack on Lebanon was planned in advance, and was a Zionist-American operation – a first step towards taking control over the Middle East and over the [entire] Muslim world.

[…]

“Today more than ever, the Muslim peoples are disgusted and furious with the Americans. The Muslim governments, including those governments whose political statements stem from restrictions [that are placed upon them], are disgusted by the insolent and arrogant oppression and are opposed to it. The American regime can expect a resounding slap and a devastating fist-blow from the Muslim nation for its support of the Zionist crimes and criminals, after it has so brazenly violated the rights of the Muslim peoples.

[…]

“America’s and Israel’s aggressive character and conduct revives the spirit of resistance in the Islamic world, [now] more than ever, and make the value of jihad clearer than ever.”

“There is No Way to Confrontthe Barbaric Zionist Wolves and the Aggression of the ‘Great Satan’ Except Through Martyrdom”

“The Islamic world, and the Muslim youth in all the Islamic countries know that there is no way to confront the barbaric Zionist wolves and the aggression of the ‘Great Satan’ [i.e. America] except through martyrdom. Capitulation and obedience to the American politicians, and to those who instigate quarrels and internal strife [in the Muslim world], only increase their avarice and insolence, making their actions against the [Muslim] peoples more severe.

[…]

“Today, Hizbullah is the front line of defense for the Muslim nation and for all the peoples of the region, regardless of religion and faith. As far as the Zionist enemy is concerned, there is no difference between a mosque and a church, or between Shiites and Sunnis. It is a racist, aggressive and bloodthirsty regime. If it encounters no obstacle, it will not refrain from [perpetrating] any crime against any sector or people. The peoples of the region, the [various] Islamic sectors, and the followers of the various religions in Lebanon and in all Muslim countries should unite and [stand] shoulder to shoulder, rather than allow internal disputes to bolster the enemy’s strength.

“The Islamic [Republic of] Iran knows its role in resisting the aggression and belligerence of America and the evil of the Zionist regime – it will stand by any oppressed nation, and especially by the beloved Lebanese people and the fighting Palestinian people….
