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

Moderate Rouhani rails against global “Iranophobia conspiracy,” says “Zionist regime is very angry” over nuke deal

Feb 6, 2014 6:30 pm By Robert Spencer

KhameneiRouhani

The concept of “Iranophobia” is absurd, but that didn’t stop the purveyors of the concept of “Islamophobia.” And meanwhile, the “Zionist regime” is indeed angry over the nuclear deal, because it understands how disastrous the concessions that the U.S. made to Iran really are.

“Rouhani accuses foes of seeking to spread ‘Iranaphobia,'” from the Jerusalem Post, February 6:

Iran does not pose a threat to the world despite attempts by the Islamic Republic’s enemies to conjure a worldwide conspiracy of “Iranaphobia,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has claimed.

“Our enemies want to establish ‘Iranophobia’ across the world; to tell the world that Iran is a threat,” he said in an interview Wednesday with state television in Tehran.

“Under the pretext of Iranophobia, the killers are able to do whatever they want in the region and interfere however much they want,” Rouhani added.

Despite Western concerns over Iran’s disputed nuclear ambitions, Rouhani stated that his country’s activities were “completely peaceful”.

Under the terms of an interim deal reached in November between Iran and six world powers, Tehran agreed to limit parts of its nuclear program, in exchange for the easing of some international sanctions.

Rouhani charged that a deal on the “Iranaphobia conspiracy” must first be reached before the international community decides to impose any new sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

“This move (the nuclear deal) has caused much anger among our enemies. You can see that the radicals in America are saying something new every day,” Rouhani stated.

US lawmakers have some influence over Iran policy because of their ability to pass legislation imposing fresh sanctions on Iran, something US President Barack Obama has opposed during the current negotiations and threatened to veto.

However, the Iranian president cited what he said was Israeli displeasure over the interim nuclear deal as one of the apparent benefits viewed by his country from the Geneva nuclear talks.

“The Zionist regime is very angry and our dear people witness how upset they are with this agreement. I want to state that this is the first success of the great nation of Iran in cooperating with the world,” he said.

    American Christian pastor Saeed Abedini has been sitting in an Iranian prison for more than a year.

    Hope in Washington?

      Obama doesn’t care about Christians, he is an anti-Christian.
      Meanwhile, he has another new phobia to worry about: The Sisiphobia!

        Obama specifically mentioned his Christian faith when commenting on this.
        Is he becoming an apostate to Islam as the midterm elections approach?
        Donald Trump, Fox news and others have sharply criticized him on this issue but he might ‘succeed’ by giving in and paying Iran off strategy and the news media will conveniently forget his earlier silence.

        Pastor Saeed Abedini only crime is Christian faith.
        This is the true hateful Islam that the media ignores.

    a phobia is an irrational fear..

    nothing irrational about not believing islam’s mullahs and questioning everything they say.

    nothing irrational about concerns over iran having nukes. they have vowed to bomb israel.

    Iran whining about “Iranophobia” is like an axe-murderer complaining that people are looking at him funny…while he sits in the front yard sharpening his axe.

    I don’t suppose anybody’s ever translated the old playground rhyme, “I think I’ll go and eat worms” into Farsi, or into Arabic. But if not, it’s high time it *was* translated.

    “Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
    
Guess I’ll go and eat worms,

    “Big fat juicy ones,
    Eensie weensy squeensy ones,

    “See how they wiggle and squirm.

    “Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
    “
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
    “
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one
    “
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

    “Nobody loves me, everybody hates me

    “Think I’ll go and eat worms
.

    “Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones

    “See how they wriggle and squirm

    “Bite the heads off, suck the guts out,
    
Throw the skins away

    Nobody knows how fat I grow
    
On worms three times a day
.”

    “Ohh…nobody loves me (etc).”

    I commend this rhyme to “Latma”, for the use of. Imagine a chorus of people dressed up as turbanned ayatollahs and scimitar-wielding wild-eyed jihadis and besuited bearded replicas of Tariq Ramadan, chanting this in Arabic or Farsi.

    It’s time that the mohammedan grievance theatre and pantomime of victimhood and cries of “Islamophobia” (and, now “Iranophobia!”) got simply *skewered*.

    Moderate Rouhani rails against global “Iranophobia conspiracy”
    …………………………..

    Yup—”Iranophobia”—rather like “NaziGermanyphobia”, it just came out of nowhere!

    More:

    “Our enemies want to establish ‘Iranophobia’ across the world; to tell the world that Iran is a threat”
    …………………………..

    Never mind that Iran is *openly* screaming “Death to America!” and “Death to Britain!”, threatening to “wipe Israel off the map”. and boasting about how their nuclear missiles will be able to strike US cities…

    More:

    Rouhani charged that a deal on the “Iranaphobia conspiracy” must first be reached before the international community decides to impose any new sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
    …………………………..

    After which, no sanctions could be imposed, because that would be “Iranophobia”…

    Who doesn’t love circular logic?

    More:

    US lawmakers have some influence over Iran policy because of their ability to pass legislation imposing fresh sanctions on Iran, something US President Barack Obama has opposed during the current negotiations and threatened to veto
    …………………………..

    Obama wants to prevent “Iranophobia”, as well…

    More:

    “The Zionist regime is very angry and our dear people witness how upset they are with this agreement. I want to state that this is the first success of the great nation of Iran in cooperating with the world,” he said.
    …………………………..

    Rouhani is hoping that the rest of the world is as antisemitic as he is—I just wish it were easier to dismiss this as being completely absurd…

    “Iran nuclear deal shows US is now prepared to act independently of allies”

    Historic partners of US – Saudi Arabia and Israel – circumspect and angry over deal hailed by Syria and tolerated by Russia

    http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/24/iran-us-shift-middle-east-alliances

    Now, the Saudis are fake “allies’ just as are the Pakistanis. But what moron believes that tossing staunch ally Israel for Iran, Syria, and—maybe—Russia is a good deal?

    And the New York Times is calling Israel’s understandable distress over the Iran deal “theater”…

    Suicidal madness…
