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

Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guards Deputy Commander: Islam has given us goal of annihilating “the Zionist entity”

Mar 13, 2014 11:07 am By Robert Spencer

“The answer is that the religion of Islam has designated this for us – this goal, this motivation, this belief, this energy – so that we, here, can muster all our energies in order to annihilate the Zionist entity.” He couldn’t have made it plainer. Yet the fact that Islam has anything to do with the general Muslim enmity toward Israel is consistently ignored and denied by establishment analysts, right up to and including Barack Obama and John Kerry, who keep insisting in the teeth of all the evidence that a few fresh concessions from Israel will do the trick, and bring about lasting peace.

“IRGC Deputy Commander Hossein Salami: We Are Ready to Annihilate the Zionist Entity in the Future,” from MEMRI, March 11:

Speaking at a conference held in Tehran, IRGC Deputy Commander Brigadier-General Hossein Salami said: “We, here, can muster all our energies in order to annihilate the Zionist entity, more than 1,400 kilometers away. We are ready for that moment in the future.”

Following are excerpts from the speech, which aired on Al-Alam TV on March 11, 2014.

Brigadier-General Hossein Salami: Despite the geographical distance, we are attached to the hearts of the Palestinians. How is it that our slogans and goals are identical to the slogans and causes of the Palestinians? Why do we strive to become martyrs and risk our lives for the Palestinian cause?

The answer is that the religion of Islam has designated this for us – this goal, this motivation, this belief, this energy – so that we, here, can muster all our energies in order to annihilate the Zionist entity, more than 1,400 kilometers away. We are ready for that moment in the future.

    Jackals of Persia,

    Your time is near.

    The Earth will swallow you.

    Then we shall hang your accomplices higher than Haman.

    It is better that you kill yourselves now.

    Whores of Arabs.

    You are debased, degraded and defeated.

    We shall eat pistachio-stuffed blueberries once a year on the festival that celebrates your destruction.

    Outrageous! …just how *outrageous* do they have to be before we’ll take them seriously?

      You ask a question that seems rhetorical. I am not sure we can open the eyes of the blind.

        Daniel Greenfield had an interesting comment to the effect of: “you can’t wake those who are only pretending to be asleep.”

    Welcome to Saudi Persia
    where anti-Jewish tourists are always welcome.

    Do they really hate the Jewish people that much or are they just posturing to say to the Sunni Islam world that they are Muslim too.
    Shia Islam can be especially dangerous.
    It is an unstable artificial face saving accommodation to the real Islam of Mecca. Iranians still model themselves to their former captor’s will in order to overlook Persia’s humiliating total and complete subjugation to Arabic overlords. Even now Iran’s vain rulers still pretend that Iran is independent and proud to wear its yoke of Islam polished bright & shiny with an Arabic conquest accent. Imagine what it must be like to wake-up each morning longing to worship freely while knowing you have sold out your ancestry and your integrity to Islam. Very soon ‘Arabic speaking’ Iranians will forget how to smile or even tell a joke in Farsi. Islam is very serious business, you know.
    Iranians are a well-educated people; surely one would think they should know better. Yet they even deny the Holocaust with a straight face in order to properly ingratiate to the Arab conquerors.
    Iranian men even let Mecca dictate the way they treat their women.
    Of course they would never stone their Persian sisters to death just to appease Saudi Islam; there are limits to Islamic groveling. It would not be civilized, at least not in the cities. That kind of behavior is reserved for the countryside, properly kept out of sight.
    You can still hear cries in the wind just as in the days when the first Muslims arrived.

      The Stoning of Soraya is a propaganda piece. It absolves islam of any blame in the execution of women for adultery by stoning — as does the director/producer of said movie.

    The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commander along with Rouhani, Ayatollah Khamenei and the mullahs are all fools in the agenda to destroy the State of Israel. This is because they are striving against the Will of God. For God in His Word has given this area of land in the Middle East to the Jewish people. In other words, the Jews have this land by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32::48,49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. This land also belongs to the Jewish people by historic rights. As shown in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56. Nevertheless, in all fairness, the Revolutionary Guard Commander along with Rouhanic ,Ayatollah Khamenei and the mullahs in power in Iran do have one way to convince God to change His Mind and turn His back of Israel and thus have that nation be no more.
    That way is for them to change the laws of astrophysics, including that of the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had said in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, which gives the sun for alight by day and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for alight by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”

    the Commander seems to be saying: This is our opportunity to be #1. We are the supereminent.

    the reality is those scum are the same scum cowards that have inhabited the earth since time immemorial – they talk a good game – but when it comes down to it the love – LOVE – the very aspects of our society – and the jewish society ISRAEL they condemn – they crave their own freedom and get it – on the backs of the poor suckers who are brainwashed by their parents and their parents before them to worship these save scum who if it actually came down to it would pee in their pants before lifting a finger to fight anyone.

    here is some sense 2CV – they are cowards as are most “revolutionaries” they send others to do their bidding while they hypocritically enjoy the vices they condemn. Get it?

    that is the reason they are unable and will forever be unable and will ultimately meet their cruel and painful death by the hand of the Israelis – who are people that put their money where there mouth is when it comes to freedom and defending it. 48, 56, 67, 73 and NOW!

    Tehran continues to actively engage and support nefarious activities worldwide. Iran is one of only four countries designated by the United States as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. The seizure of the arms shipment is a wake-up call for Washington. The true nature of the regime in Tehran is not peaceful.
