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

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Commander: If Muslims unite, U.S. “political breathing space will be restricted”

Feb 4, 2014 9:42 am By Robert Spencer

And Israel will have “no air to breathe.” Good thing they’re all moderates over in Iran now; imagine what they’d be saying if they were “extremists.”

“IRGC Deputy Commander Hossein Salami: If Muslims Unite, US Political Breathing Space Will Be Limited,” from MEMRI, February 1:

Following are excerpts from an interview with Hossein Salami, IRGC deputy commander, which aired on Channel 1, Iranian TV and was posted on the Internet on February 1, 2014:

Hossein Salami: Whoever seeks to talk to our nation in intimidating language – we will not be deterred by geographic borders from endangering their interests. Wherever they may be – we will be there as well. We will not confine the conflict to any border. We announce this loud and clear.

[…]

This region is ideologically united by similar faiths and common goals. If these goals can be merged, and the Muslim peoples are ideologically, strategically, and politically united, then Western, and particularly American, political breathing space will be restricted. Even the Zionist regime, which is America’s political, military, economic, and security bridgehead, will have no air to breathe.

    Saddam Hussein is reincarnated!

    This kind of provocation is JUST the sort of speech the Nazis used before attacking Czechoslovakia and Poland!

    No air to breathe? Like…asphyxiation? Destroying free speech?

    “we will not be deterred by geographic borders …We will not confine the conflict to any border. We announce this loud and clear.”

    Loud and clear…a declaration of war.

      You took the words out of my mouth Mariam/miriam?

      When they are not killing defenseless infidels, they are busy killing each other. So this … individual is talking about a BIG “if”.

    Unless there is one autocrat who can conquer the region, the Muslim people will not be united. Islam is much too intolerant for that to happen.

    United Islam? Reminds me of “Lawrence of Arabia” in the scene where after derailing the Turkish train the Arabs loot it and go home to their desert tribes with umbrellas, grandfather clocks and other useless ‘booty’.

    Lawrence despairs of his attempts to form a united Arab army…

    Perception is a marketing strategy, so is eating crow. In 2011, Iran celebrated the launch of its Shahab-4 Dong-One that was “created to destroy the Jewish state” as quoted by Ahmadinejad. Subsequently, a quiet test drive with the Jericho (the real Elvis) and Larijani, presumably after some consultation, said Iran is prepared to “repeal (not destroy) the Jewish state.” Now and then she has to bare a fang or two, to temper the old Jewish-Muslim beef and remind neighbours of her evolution from beast-to-business and that her default position, perhaps, is the former.
