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

Iran’s Supremo: “The enemies will not relinquish their hostility. Hence, the enemy should not be neglected.”

Mar 8, 2014 8:34 pm By Robert Spencer

Khamenei with Rouhani and othersNow wait a minute. I thought that the Iranians were all moderates now, and that we were friends, and that peace had dawned in the world. Now Iran’s Supreme Leader is saying that as long as Iran remains committed to the principles of Islam, its enemies will not relinquish their hostility. Yet Barack Obama has assured the world repeatedly that the U.S. is not and will never be at war with Islam. So according to Obama, we have an accord with Iran and not at war with Islam, but meanwhile, according to Khamenei, we are enemies with Iran and at war with Islam. In other words, Barack Obama’s view of the world has nothing to do with reality.

“Supreme Leader Warns against Neglecting Enemies’ Animosity,” from Tasnim, March 6:

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Thursday warned about enemies’ continued hostility towards the Islamic Republic, and called on the country’s officials to avoid neglecting enemies’ animosity.

“So long as the Islamic Establishment and the Iranian nation remain committed to the principles of Islam, the (Islamic) Revolution and (the country’s) independence, the enemies will not relinquish their hostility. Hence, the enemy should not be neglected,” Ayatollah Khamenei underscored on Thursday in a meeting with chairman and members of the Assembly of Experts.

“The arrogance front has deep hatred towards the Iranian nation and today everyone can see the depth of the enemies’ hatred and spite in their remarks,” the Leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei, at the same time, stressed that for all its animosity, the enemy has been unable to confront the Islamic Establishment and the Iranian nation.

“That is why they have turned to (imposing) sanctions (on Iran) though they know well that sanctions have been futile since the victory of the (1979) Revolution,” the Leader said.

He also described the US officials’ resort to rhetoric of military threat as indicating the ineffectiveness of sanctions.

In the past few months, American officials including President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have repeatedly used the language of threat against Iran and said that the military option (against Tehran) is on the table.

Iran’s high-ranking officials have slammed the tone and described threatening the Iranian nation with the military option as a grave mistake.

Ayatollah Khamenei further stated that the Iranian nation’s enemies are among the most discredited (governments) in the world.

He said the American government is known at the international level as a criminal and a violator of human rights and in the US itself as a lying and hypocritical regime. “Today, the American people’s confidence in their own government is at its lowest level.”

“Therefore,” Ayatollah Khamenei added, “One should not feel afraid of such a disgraced government.”

Elsewhere in his statements, the Supreme Leader elaborated on some of the realities in today’s world, saying that the start of fundamental developments in the world and region, whose signs can be seen in regions like Northern Africa, Asia and Europe, should be closely monitored.

He referred to the awakening of nations in the world, particularly the Islamic Awakening, as one of the realities of the world today.

Ayatollah Khamenei noted that despite the oppositions to the phrase “Islamic Awakening”, it has become clear now that this awakening has been entirely related to Islam.

“Although they (the enemies) have ostensibly smothered it (the tide of Islamic Awakening), the spirit of self-confidence and the feeling of Islamic identity will never be disappeared,” the Leader reiterated.

    a Photo of K1 & K2 stinking up the room.
    K1 (Khomeini) came first and was the worst. K1’s grave is surrounded by a cage to keep out the local dogs to prevent them lifting one leg to his honor.
    K2 his stooge became Iran’s new number one, but truly, both are just “number two”.

    Regardless, Iran’s “theo-idiocracy.” is a farce. Iranians are not real Muslims and the whole world knows it in spite of their overcompensation and groveling for approval from. They should just admit to their subjugation or carpet bomb the Kaaba flat and be free of their Islamic curse.

      “Iranians are not real muslims” eh? Then why has the islam0nazi theocracy called Iran been in power for three decades? Then why was the islam0nazi theocracy called Iran formed at all? Because no one supported it? WHy are there no mass protests by Iranian islam0nazi expats to the islamic brutality that is Iran today?

        Shia Islam is an artificial face saving accommodation that Iranians use to overlook Persia’s humiliating total subjugation to Arabic overlords.
        Iran’s leadership likes to pretend that Iran is independent and proud to wear its yoke of Islam and even goes so far as to deny the Holocaust just to ingratiate Iran’s Shia Sham Islam with the real Islam of Sunni Muslims. Both versions are evil though.

    Climb your tainted tower and sing your poisoned verse Ayatollah.
    Take a leap of faith , close your eyes and jump high like a TREE FROG.
    Go on leap high and then dive, you and all of Iran’s wingless Ayatollah buzzards.
    Dream, ANGRY AYATOLLAHS,
    Dig in with your crude claws and beaks but without wings, forever dream.

      Dig in with your crude claws and beaks but without wings, forever dream.

      Without wings maybe, but with ICBMs from North Korea, communist China’s client state, which will do anything to make trouble for capitalist countries. Seems to me the dreams of the Supreme Leader are coming closer to reality.

      Obama and his globo-socialist cohort look as far ahead as the next midterms and presidential elections; the Supreme Leader takes a thousand year view.

    “Yet Barack Obama has assured the world repeatedly that the U.S. is not and will never be at war with Islam.”

    Obama and his gang, as well as the Bush and his gang, are suffering from the same fatal illness: Political Correctness. The only difference, and I could be wrong, is that Bush was ignorant about Islam while Obama is not. He knows what he’s doing, he’s siding with Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood thugs, and he’s doing it for one purpose only: Destroying the U.S.

      I doubt that. We’ve seen that Obama is a suit, and empty-headed juggler of slogans and superficial but morbid fictions. I doubt that he, the employer of a Hafiz from Yale, has any idea what Islam is actually about, beyond the taquiyya, of course. That’s where the air-headed superficiality comes in.

        The zero lived in an islam0fascist state, Indonesia. He attended a madrassah while there. He lived in an islam0fascist state while it was committing a genocide of the najjis kaffir in E. Timor. His father’s family is muslime. You seriously think he’s ignorant of the true nature of islam?

    Obama once said he was “impressed with Morsi’s pragmatic confidence” and that he sensed an “engineer’s precision with surprisingly little ideology.” If that was not a coy presidential tidbit for the liberal press and its gullible following, it was a dog-whistle to his masters that said “Relax everyone, I got them beards eating out of my hand.”

    While debating the flamboyance, style and the exemplary ‘dog-whistling’ technique of the sitting President may gain some traction, discussing merits and demerits of a (pardon the French) ‘house-negro’ is awkward, weary and irrelevant.

    If fear is a precursor to discipline, an inverse relationship between a fearsome Israel and a disciplined Iran is becoming apparent. While Khameni’s carte-blanche is necessary to calm the Islamist ground, the recent polite wai(s) of Rouhani and Javad underscores the state of fear the nation is in.

    Point is, technocrat Iran understands that the score is 250 nukes to zero. It also understands that after its contractors in Syria are decimated, Israel’s ‘waste-management’ may come calling, at the Mullah’s door.

    You know, those “Ayatolas” [=Idols] are fuuny. they are so brave that they are hiding from their own followers in a cave. ‘Cuz if the americans/israelis will want to kill him they’ll found them easily.

    I have a really simple solution to work out our problems. put these Ayatolas in the center of Tehran, and it will be a matter of minutes till they get stoned to death by the Irianian people themselves.

      Ayatollahs are just shacked dogs guarding the house of their cruel deranged master ISLAM.
      Imam Khamenei has dipped his beard one to many times into the cesspool of Islam and can no longer be washed clean.
      Surely many of the Iranian people have not been so thoroughly contaminated and would prefer to be rid of the Ayatollah’ s stench.

    “Netanyahu slams Ashton: Ask Iran about its Gaza-bound arms boat.

    “EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Tehran on landmark visit, meeting Rohani and Zarif, with Iran’s nuclear activities set to dominate discussions.”

    It’s interesting how Khamenei warns about hostility toward the Islamic Republic when Islamic countries constantly indoctrinate hatred of everyone else.

    “We have to understand the depth of the disgrace of the enemy,
    until our holy hatred expands continuously and strikes like a wave.”
    Iranian President Ahmadinejad at Tehran Conference 2005

    “We must never forget, brothers
    , to nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for them:
    for Zionists, for Jews,…
    Egyptian children “must feed on hatred; hatred must continue..
    The hatred must go on for Allah and as a form of worshiping him.”
    Former President Morsi of Egypt

    It is likely that Khamenei is worried that there will be less hostility to the U.S. because of the lifting of sanctions. He knows that if he can convince his population that America is still hostile they are likely to keep their hostility to America.

    Mahoundians are just full of ‘big’ talk. Mixing fact with fiction and calling it all fact is a taqiyya specialty. If you want to know what the Ayatollah thinks about in his spare time, read his book, ‘The Little Green Book’…A quick read, free on line…

    As long as Iran remains anti-democratic, censorial, repressive, against human rights, against women’s rights, against minority rights, against pluralism…the civilized world will be hostile to it.

    In the end, for the safety of the world at large, it is the responsibility of the United States and other democratic countries to keep Iran and its axis of evil allies completely devoid of nuclear weapons
