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

New moderate Iran holds “Death to America Grand Prix ceremony”

They’re not bothering to keep up any pretense. They are openly mocking the nuclear “negotiations” and rattling sabers left and right, knowing that there is absolutely nothing that they can do or say that will give the Obama Administration or the international media the slightest doubt that making massive concessions to the Iranian regime and green-lighting their nuclear program is the path to peace.

“Iranians: ‘We Are Eager for U.S. Military Option,’” by Adam Kredo for the Washington Free Beacon, February 11:

Scores of Iranian citizens took to the streets across the country on Tuesday to declare that they are “ready for the great battle” against the United States, according to multiple regional reports.

Millions of Iranians reportedly rallied in Tehran and other cities to mark the 35th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic revolution.

Citizens chanted anti-American and anti-Israel slogans while carrying banners that read, “We are ready for the great battle” and “We are eager for the U.S. military option,” according to Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency.

Others were said to be lofting signs that “mocked the U.S. military threats against the country” and some that stated Iranians are “ready for confrontation against the U.S.”

The rally capped a weeklong series of confrontational military threats against the United States by top Iranian military leaders. Iran is also sailing a fleet of warships towards the Atlantic Ocean in response to the U.S. naval presence in the Persian Gulf.

The Obama administration has insisted in recent weeks that despite negotiations, the military option against Iran is still on the table. These comments prompted backlash from Iranian military leaders, who issued a series of confrontational statements threatening to attack the United States.

The threats have been accompanied by the recent test firing of two new ballistic missiles. Iran said the tests are meant to serve as a warning sign to the United States.

Prior to the street rallies, Iranian officials held a “Death to America Grand Prix ceremony,” according to photographs published from the event. Officials at the event mocked President Barack Obama and the United States.

Other reports indicated that Iranian demonstrators on Tuesday “renewed their allegiance to the revolution” and pushed for an Iranian military response to what they called U.S. aggression.

“Any foolish and provocative act by the enemies will receive timely and crushing reaction of the Iranian Armed Forces,” Fars reported the demonstrators as saying.

Iranian officials celebrated the mass demonstrations as a sign that Iranians are proud of their nuclear negotiation team.

“The people’s presence in the … rallies serves as a very powerful backing for the Iranian nuclear negotiation team,” Iranian official Hashemi Rafsanjani was quoted as saying during the rally.

“The high public turnout was even shocking for the enemies,” added the speaker of Iran’s parliament.

Photos said to have been taken during the rally show scores of Iranians in the streets holding balloons, flags, and other banners.

    Al Qaeda taking over Iraq? Iran asking for war? Turkey on the fast-track to Shariafication? What is the West to do?

    The only answer will prove to be a massive removal of Muslims from the West and the quarantine of Islam, since Muslims cannot abandon the enslavement mentality and world conquest through jihad.

    Their version of sport– mass murder.
    Never forget, 1979-1982. 9/11/2001.
    EVER!
    Whether they be Arabs, Persians, Africans or Central Asians, Muslims worship profanely and thus find it easy to do evil.

    I spent my whole career working for the U.S. military. I understand our military capabilities more than the average citizen.

    If I was POTUS, I would make one phone call to Iran.

    The one way conversation would go something like this:

    President Paleologos:

    You have two hours to evacuate all your nuclear facilities.

    At the end of two hours the U.S. will bunker bust bomb all your nuclear facilities to Hell, where your moon, allah, resides.

    We have Trident submarines ready to launch an unlimited number of bunker busting bomb tipped cruise missiles to get the job done.

    We will send F117A Stealth fighter aircraft to re-bomb all the targets.

    I have informed China and Russia to evacuate their workers on your nuclear facilities concurrent with this message.

    If you so much as twitch a weapon towards Israel, we will turn Iran into a sheet of glass.

    Have a nice day,

    Sincerely,

    President Paleologos

      Back around ’07 the military wanted to fund a project for a deeper bunker buster bomb. I think they had Persia in mind with this. It was held off by Dubya during the Bill Clinton-caused financial meltdown, and then Barack Hussein killed the project in ’09 first thing when he took office.

      If I were an Israeli Jew, I’d be filing emigration papers right now.

        Alarmed Pig Farmer,

        Another Israeli-Arab war is inevitable.

        Bibi is a true warrior and military man. He knows his nation’s life is at stake. Israel has enough high tech weaponry to defend itself.

        I am really concerned about barry hussein and his fellow islamo democrats, however.

        I just hope a true American, not the muslim pos we have now for POTUS, becomes our next president, and that the inevitable Israeli-Arab war waits until then. That is my hope as well as prayer.

        Don’t believe everything you read in the papers. I will bet there are tons of funds going to “black” military projects, including advanced research on bigger, better bunker buster bombs.

        R/

        Paleologos

      This is exactly what Obama should do, but unfortunately it will take another 9/11 type of attack to spur the public – and then the government – to do so. Years and years of talk have achieved nothing. In fact Iran are ridiculing the US and the west, making a mockery of the entire nuclear negotiations.
      Just one phone call is all it takes to show them we – the civilized countries – will not tolerate this charade any longer.

    Well, common sense might lead one to conclude that the deal with the Persians is stupid, but any confused, lazy-assed college professor knows that the big sellers are counter-intuitive. Now, true Barack Hussein was really a college professor, but he’s got the confused lazy-assed part down cold.

    SHUT the Neo Nazi country of Iran down. Boycott its enablers like:
    (Daimler AG Mercédès Benz)

    If you are Christian, Jewish, Atheist, Apostate to Islam, Gay, or an Advocate for Human Rights you should be ashamed to be seen driving a Mercédès Benz.
    Let the Mercédès Benz three pointed star be a reminder of THREE CROSSES and the persecuted Christians.
    Let the shining circle remind you of the NOOSE around the necks of apostates, regime critics and gays.
    NEVER FORGET that the MERCEDES trademark STAR is much like the
    YELLOW STAR OF DAVID a notorious NAZI discriminating mark of Jewish DISTINCTION,
    Never forget the Nazi collaborator Daimler AG Benz slave labor camps.

    Daimler AG collaborated with the Nazis during the Holocaust and with the Holocaust denying regime of Iran.
    What part of NEVER AGAIN do they not understand?

    Time to send more of my tax dollars to Iran I believe. Obama has a plan to bring peace to the world after America is nuked by his negociating friend Iran.

    I am ashamed of having such an idiot as president of my country. Really.

      “I am ashamed of having such an idiot as president of my country. Really.”

      So were 90 million egyptians, but unlike Americans, they DID something about it, and they did it peaceably!

    It is this behavior pattern ever since 1979 that makes frankly any rational person freak out over the idea of Iran possessing nuclear weapons. Any doctoral candidate in physics can explain the simplicity of constructing a weapon, but when national assets are used, the task becomes simply a question of “when” not “if.”

    Dear God, Isn’t it time for all those Muslim jihadists to get leprosy? It seems a very appropriate and timely biblical judgment. Just sayin’!

    This comes as no surprise. This degree of appeasement *always* emboldens aggressive Fascists.
