The former Thug-In-Chief’s reappearance and new bellicose rhetoric is yet another indication that the “moderate” stance that the Iranians appeared to take for awhile has served its purpose, and can now be discarded like a new pair of shoes that doesn’t turn out to fit well, as the mullahs slip into their familiar and comfortable old genocidal-hate-rhetoric shoes.
“Ahmadinejad Urges Iranians to ‘Raise the Flag of Martyrs Over the White House,’” by Adam Kredo for the Washington Free Beacon, April 2:
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad emerged from hiding on Wednesday to deliver a rare public speech in which he told Iranians, “We can rest the day that we raise the flag of martyrs over the White House,” according to an independent translation of Persian language media reports.
Ahmadinejad, most notorious for his Holocaust denial and militaristic rhetoric, visited war zones in southern Iran just a week after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei made a similar visit to the region.
The comments were initially reported by Iran’s Basij News Agency, an official state organ controlled by the country’s powerful Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Ahmadinejad’s reappearance on the public stage comes as Iran continues to negotiate with Western powers over its contested nuclear weapons program. The former president’s violent rhetoric is being viewed as a sign that Iranian hardliners are making a political comeback in Tehran.
“This was Ahmadinejad’s first political comment after a long silence, more importantly it is reported by a news agency controlled by [Iran’s] powerful Basij forces, the Iranian version of SS forces,” Saeed Ghasseminejad, cofounder of Iranian Liberal Students and Graduates, told the Washington Free Beacon.
“Ahmadinejad also got the chance to sit close to Khamenei, as Khamenei’s website and IRGC-run Fars News reported,” Ghasseminejad said.
This may be seen as “a significant sign in Iran’s politics showing that Ahmadinejad’s relation with Khamenei is improving,” he said. “It seems that Khamenei and powerful forces in his office have decided not to keep Ahmadinejad totally out of the loop.”
Khamenei exerts total control over Iranian politics and its figureheads, meaning that if the Supreme Leader gives the go-ahead, Ahmadinejad could regain political power.
“If Khamenei’s office gives Ahmadinejad the permission to become more active, it is a sign that Khamenei is planning to strengthen the revolutionary hardliner’s position, who surprisingly lost the presidential election to a coalition of reformists and conservatives,” Ghasseminejad said.
“Khamenei’s recent speeches and Ahmadinejad’s return show that hardliners are planning to strike back, of course after Khamenei’s permission,” he said.
Ahmadinejad’s violent rhetoric and public appearance with Khamenei may also be a signal to Iran’s political elite, particularly the Larijani brothers, who have warred with Ahmadinejad in the past and attempted to discredit him….

“Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad emerged from hiding” …
No doubt hiding under a rock …crawl back where you belong, Imanutjob.

A radiation-proof rock, and he decided to pop his head out to see if Israel had been nuked already.

LOL!!

Hey, Ahmadinejad believes that the 12th Imam is coming soon and that he is the chosen by Allah himself to hasten Mahdi’s return. Say what you want about the man, he lives up to his name (Ahmadinejad).
mariam rove says
In Iran, Iranians call him Meimoninejad. Meimon in Farsi means monkey! M

Who curses Israel is cursed. Who blesses Israel is blessed. As a non-American Christian, it is interesting to observe the rapid decline of the USA to a banana republic since your idiot “low information” voters put a jew hater closet islamic jihadist into your white house. Under Obama Hussein Barak you have indeed become more cursed… with every passing day under this Ishmaelite. I hope you come to your senses and vote Islamo-leftists like Obama, Reid and Kerry out…Like Churchill said: Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog.

It won’t happen. These thugs are here to stay. The only way to get rid of them PEACEABLY is a massive demonstration like the one that happened in Egypt.

The only other alternative will be extremely bloody.
I hope the American people will wake up and opt for the first, while it’s still available.

Ahmadinejad along with his lying Mullahs with their Quranic falsehoods of “martyrdom” for the cause of Islam. With their false doctrines of Islam. One of which is of a lust filled paradise with many virgins for the Muslim male who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam, Sura 9:111. 44:54. 55;56. 78:31. As for the false teachers as these mullahs the who thoroughly brainwash others into the Islamic belief as a lust filled place with virgins,houris. The Bible explains “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust the flesh…” Second Peter 2;18. Furthermore, many a time a jihadist in his death recording talks about his “wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false teachings. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures ,nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. In contrast to the Islamic pipedream of the jihadist in the Quranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads ‘For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]
ibn Muslim says
The horny Saint Catherine of Siena had a “mystical marriage” with Christ. She “received, not the ring of gold and jewels that her biographer reports in his bowdlerized version, but the ring of Christ’s foreskin.”
You know, she jerked with an imaginary part of Jesus’ cock.
Really, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Siena
BTW, name Catherine means “the pure one” 🙂
Bradamante says
And you’re taking an obscure piece of legend most Christians have never heard of and claiming that this is taught as a central doctrine of normative Christianity? And thus is parallel to all this stuff that’s in the Sura? I see.
Bradamante says
I’ve just looked it up. Interesting legend. Not something Christians hear about every day, for sure.
ibn Muslim says
Yea, well, ordinary Muslims also don’t know all the most often cited hadith on this website.
Anyhow, as a Muslim I know that one must really be a heavenly man if he can satisfy 72 virgins in one night. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) could do 9/hour, so this is basically one 8 hour shift for 72 virgins 😀
Champ ✿ says
“ibn muslim” is such a lost cause promoting an evil cause: islam and sex heaven

bim islam says:
“… I know that one must really be a heavenly man if he can satisfy 72 virgins in one night.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) could do 9/hour, so this is basically one 8 hour shift for 72 virgins.
This is because “prophet” muhamet was basically a dildo.

That is an interesting comment, ibn Muslim, which gave me something to contemplate. In looking up more information on this I came across stories about the lives of other Catholic saints which at first I found disturbing and disgusting…stories about saints who disfigured themselves or nearly starved themselves to death or who found communion with Christ by drinking the pus and eating the scabs of the sick and dying….actions I would not recommend to anyone. But I found an interesting discussion which helped me understand some things a little more and for those who are interested I have the link below. The idea I find most interesting is that saints are human like the rest of us and are subject to the same weaknesses and illnesses as every human being……including mental illness. But just as a person with cancer can lead a holy life, so too can a person who has mental problems. So Catherine of Sienna had some strange dreams or visions….and Teresa of Avila ate scabs…but they also led lives which others considered holy and close to God. Now, could Muhammad have had mental problems also…or Abraham or Moses for that matter……..or even Jesus? I’d say one of them did for sure…but that’ a matter of opinion, isn’t it?
So…what else can I say? Is the idea of a mystical marriage to Christ insane….or inspirational….or profane? You have obviously already decided. I do think you are looking at it in the worst possible light though …purposely. But then you are free to think what you wish and to fill your mind with whatever you wish…..and I am thankful I have the freedom to think what I wish. Peace……and good health to us all.

The increasingly hilarious, awful taqqyia mongering ibn Muslim posted:
“Yea, well, ordinary Muslims also don’t know all the most often cited hadith on this website.”
Awwww, isn’t he cute, trying to play the equivalence game? OK, i’ll play along. Is Catherine a central figure in christianity? No. Is muhammad a central figure in mahomedism? Yes. Is Catherine the example of conduct for christians? No. Is muhammad the example of conduct for mahomedans? Yes, according to the quran he is, and mahomedans are encouraged to follow his example and do what he did. So, a christian not knowing an obscure legend the same as a mahomedan not knowing what muhammad did and said? Clearly not.
Now, regarding “ordinary muslims not knowing ahadith”. That’s because the ones who should teach ordinary muslims about that know that the more ordinary mslims know about islam the more likely they are to abandon islam. For example, muhammad claimed that jihad was assurance of entrance in paradise. However, he didn’t knew if he would go to paradise or hell. Heck, that’s even in the quran, 46:9 – Say, “I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner” (kinda funny how the quran is supposed to be the word of god and yet that bit only makes sense if muhammad is talking about himself).
Would you drink sewage water? You’d have to because, according to a hadith, muhammad had no problems drinking from a well where human excrements, menstrual cloths and dead dogs were thrown.
Do you believe Satan lives in your nose or urinates in your mouth and ears? You have to, because muhammad said so.
Now do you see why mahomedans aren’t taught about the man they’re supposed to emulate? Imams prefer to leave them as dumb, easy to manipulate thugs (and i’m sure inbreeding helps):

It’s nice to see that Ahmadinejad is keeping busy in his semi-retirement.
He says he’s splitting his time pretty evenly between bee-keeping, shuffleboard, and genocide.

rhetoric for the ignorant masses of iran.
all moslem countries do this. moslems on a more daily basis also do it.
smile at us to get what they want and denounce us to their countries.. or families etc.
ive watched it for decades. Gadafi was ‘anti American’ but he was also OUR useful idiot. he kept all the tribes and minorities crushed underfoot.

My prayer is that God will come and take him for a visit. And send him to his final destination. Well my real prayer is that God would save his soul. Can you imagine how that would change everything?? And NOTHING is impossible with our GOD, (Jesus Christ)!!!Do you know the countless souls that would follow him, if he lived to tell it. Please God save the soul of another wretched sinner and shake up this world!!!! That is YOUR business, and I’m thankful for that.
