Kerry welcomes Khamenei’s anti-nuke fatwa, says Iran can have peaceful nuclear program

Mar 22, 2014 1:34 pm By Robert Spencer

kerry_johnJohn Kerry and Barack Obama are betting the entire world on the proposition that Khamenei’s statements against nuclear weapons are sincere, and not intended to deceive the Infidels into complacency. Lets hope they’re right, and that this whole thing doesn’t blow up in their faces, and ours. But given their repeated genocidal statements against Israel, it would be better to be prepared for all contingencies.

“John Kerry: US Welcomes Ayatollah Khamenei’s Fatwa against N. Weapons,” from Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency, March 22:

TEHRAN (FNA)- US Secretary of State John Kerry appreciated the fatwa (religious decree) issued by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei against the production and use of nuclear weapons, and said Iran is entitled to use peaceful nuclear program.

Kerry made the remarks in an interview with Voice of America (VOA).

When asked to comment about a Fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khamenei banning the production and use of nuclear weapons, Kerry said he shows a lot of respect to this Fatwa as it is a religious message and is highly respected by people.

Kerry said that he and US President Barack Obama welcome the Fatwa.

He said that Iran is entitled to pursue its nuclear program for peaceful purposes, but, meantime, added that such a program needs to be transparent and under international regulations as it is normal for nuclear programs of other countries.

Kerry also expressed the hope that Iran and the United States could solve their differences and find a settlement to the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear activities.

On February 22, 2012, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Islamic Republic considers the pursuit and possession of nuclear weapons “a grave sin” from every logical, religious and theoretical standpoint.

Former Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said last year that Ayatollah Khamenei’s fatwa is binding for Iran, adding, “There is nothing more important in defining the framework for our nuclear activities than the Leader’s fatwa.”

    When John boarded that plane in Saigon years ago, to return to the U.S. after less than 3 months of duty, with an imperceptible half-inch scar on his arm he self-inflicted when he shot into a pile of rice and hit a rock accompanied by a bushel full of medals for his heroism… he must’ve thought to himself, “Gee, I’m a coward, a fraud, a forgerer and a dumbass from Yale to boot. I think I’ll pursue a career in politics.”

    And now we see the spectacle of him dealing with the Supreme Leader, all these years after Prez Jimmy got slapped around by the previous supreme leader, with John on all fours with a small jar of Vaseline sitting on his back, awaiting the worst deal since Neville Chamberlain, but this one involving nuclear proliferation in the lands of Dar al-Islam. The People’s Socialist Republic of Massachussetts outdoes even California putting people like Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, John Kerry and now Liz Warren on the Hill.

    That’s funny…Osama bin Laden received a fatwa authorizing him to murder 10 million Americans with or without nuclear weapons.

    It is very difficult for me to be optimistic about mine and my childrens’ future in America as long as we have these America haters, Obama and his crew, as our leaders who have been elected by more than half the voting public. This administation will not do anything to protect us even if Iran nuked one of our cities. I bet the adminstration would blame the congress or past “imperialist actions” of America if Iran nuked LA or any big US city.

    We must do everything to have future leaders who understand this cult Islam. I am afraid we are already too late in doing so.

    Yes, the mullahs talk nice and shake your hands while smiling , while they plan to knife you in the back when you turn around.

    As the saying go, in Islam words are cheap. and words to infidels are worthless.

    What Secretary Kerry and others in the Administration do not realize is that a Fatwa can be rescinded. They can state that the current Fatwa is the Official position of the Islamic Republic of Iran and tomorrow rescind it for whatever reasons.

    The Iranians are not stopping their enrichment and what material they have could be weaponized in a short-time. I believe they are engaged in Independent processes that when brought together would result in a Nuclear weapon and a launch vehicle for it.

    Every Administration since Carter has acted “like a teen-age boy trying to get in the pants of the Homecoming Queen and she has said you won’t and doesn’t like you.” A necessary component of the Islamic Regimen’s existence is it’s battle against the “Great Satan.” It views itself as the savior of the world because it is battling the source of all evil in the World, the United States and Israel. To make Peace with the “Great Satan” would be like the Vatican saying the Satanism if ok.
    The cruelty and oppression it inflicts on its Citizens and the mismanagement of its economy are blamed not on its Rulers but the Great Satan. It will negotiate as long as it is in its best interest. It is not interested in joining the World community. It wants to dominate it.

      Kerry and Obama are dreamers…. maybe they really should read the quoran so then they will read that it is oke to lie to the infidel specially if it furthers the cause of islam… It is almost childish as how those to accept Iran at a 180 degree turn, Iran has been deceptive for ages and the double talk has not ended… so now they will makes demands regarding Israel as well…….. US is sinking faster then anyone could think of with a muslim as head of state !!!

    A trivial lesson in linguistics:

    I learnt from a Hebrew speaker that as it just happens
    Kerry, in Hebrew (קרי) means it just happens,
    excuse the pun.

    What the word means in Hebrew is the unintenional
    soiling of a man’s undercloths or bedcloths as a
    result of a “wet dream”.

    What is not clear is whether or not the wet dream is about Iran giving up on their quest for nuclear weapons, in rturn for the West giving up on sanctions,

    and/or

    about peace in the Middle East through the Islamists, PLO and Hamas giving up their quest for genocide against all Jews of the planet in retrun for Israel releasing all terrorists, making territorial concessions and giving up on being a Jewish State.

    What is also not clear is whether or not the “wet dream” was simultanously shared between the secretary in that state with his commander in chief of that state.

    What a jerk

    Keep on dreaming

      When the Assahollah issues a fatwa *against* calling for the genocide of Israel, rebuking past proclamations by (for example) Mahmood Ahmadinnerjacket to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, perhaps then we’ll consider his words.

      Of course THOSE words would probably end up getting the Assahollah strung up on a light pole in downtown Tehran.

      Meanwhile, John Effin Kerry continues to serve as the total definition of the phrase “DUMB ASS”.

    Kerry’s brow seems to be beckoning a zebibah to match his toupé.

    John Kerry is a good example of why there should be a training course for politicians to pass in order to qualify to run for office.
    His utter stupidity shows the weakness in our democratic system.

    It’s time for Jews in France (and all over Europe) to fight back. Defend yourselves and families BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Don’t wait for the authorities to protect you. Remember, this is Christian Europe, a place that is responsible for the killing of millions of Jews. (even before the Holocaust)

  13. Kepha says

    Mar 23, 2014 at 8:03 pm

    @Ron Bier:

    It’s worse: it’s post-Christian Europe, for which Islam is an ally against the European past, whether good or bad.

  14. Kepha says

    The O and Kerry (along with Shrillary before him) are barely weaned cocker spaniel puppies up against a very hungry desert hyena in Iran.

    Of course, for all I know, it may be that this Fatwa is a response to a low-key, quiet exchange in which the O administration finally did the right thing and followed Uncle Kepha’s advice (Look here, Iran. We understand you’ve got the bomb or will have it soon. Just understand that if you or one of your proxies like Hamas or Hezbollah, and others, sneak something into our country and set it off, or strike against one of our allies, we’ll have 25 strategic and populous sites in Iran going up in mushroom clouds within 24 hours. We take your love of martyrdom seriously, and are prepared to give it to you very liberally).

    But I doubt they took this tack. I don’t see how they could keep such a thing secret.

    Kerry welcomes Khamenei’s anti-nuke fatwa, says Iran can have peaceful nuclear program
    ……………………………

    The only real question is to what extent Kerry is a naïve tool, and to what extent he is something worse…
