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

Iran’s Supremo: Ignoring Qur’an can lead to “cooperation with Zionist Regime”

Jun 6, 2014 10:00 am By Robert Spencer

1-31-11-QuranRifle10One might almost get the impression that Khamenei thinks that something in the Qur’an leads people to hate Jews — perhaps their designation as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82) or their characterization as being accursed or Allah and condemned to living in shame and disgrace (3:112). But we all know that the Qur’an teaches respect for Jews, because Islamic spokesmen in the U.S. insist that it does, and so the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran must be a misunderstander of Islam.

“Khamenei Tells Winners of Quran Competition: Ignoring Holy Book Can Lead to ‘Cooperation With Zionist Regime,’” by Joshua Levitt, Algemeiner, June 3, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Iranian Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday warned competitors in the 31st International Quran Competition that a lack of “intimacy with the Quran” could lead to “fratricide or even cooperation with the Zionist Regime,” state news agency Mehr reported.

“Intimacy with Quran is an indication that the heart is prepared to receive heavenly guide,” Khamenei said at the competition’s closing ceremony. “Today, the greatest plight for Islamic world is ignoring the intimacy with Quran and subsequently, to remain unaware of the enemies’ rouses [sic].”

He said Islam’s enemies waged proxy wars in Islamic societies, according to Mehr, then he warned that “some parts of the Ummah [the global Muslim population] ignore such policies, and they easily fall to the trap of fratricide or even cooperation with the Zionist Regime.”

“The heavenly blessings and understanding Quranic criteria to know the enemies hinge upon close companionship of Quran,” the Ayatollah said.

The fiery rhetoric mirrored a similar speech last week to Iran’s parliament, where Iran’s Supreme Leader vowed to destroy the U.S., which he held responsible for distorting the world’s values and starting indiscriminate wars.

Khamenei said,“Battle and jihad are endless because evil and its front continue to exist. … This battle will only end when the society can get rid of the oppressors’ front with America at the head of it, which has expanded its claws on human mind, body and thought. … This requires a difficult and lengthy struggle and need for great strides.”

The Ayatollah said, “Today’s world is full of thieves and plunderers of human honor, dignity and morality who are equipped with knowledge, wealth and power, and under the pretense of humanity easily commit crimes and betray human ideals and start wars in different parts of the world.”

    “lack of intamcy with the qur’an”could lead to LIFE and SALVATION, rather than death and hell for followers of Muhammed -the demon possessed mass murderer thief lair misogynist and pedophile false prophet of the qur’an

    Dear readers it is Obvious that either Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei is a total MORON (who has NOT read Muhammad’s Quran) or the usual Islamic DECEIVER because the Quran is actually ZIONIST and I would love to have a Muslim CONTRADICT or disprove these verses:

    Al Baqara 2: 47 “O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favor which I bestowed upon You and that I preferred you above the whole world “

    Ta Ha 20: 80 “O ye Children of Israel! We delivered you from your
    enemy and We made a Covenant with you on the side of Mount
    (Sinai) and We sent down to you Manna and quails…”

    Al Israa 17: 2 “We gave Moses the Book (Torah) and made it a Guide to the Children of Israel (commanding): “Take not other than Me as Disposer of (your) affairs.”

    Al Aaraf 7: 137 “And We made a people considered weak (and of no
    account) inheritors of lands in both east and west lands, whereon We sent down our blessings”

    Yunus 10: 93 “We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place and provided for them sustenance of the best…”

    Al Baqara 2: 122 “O Children of Israel! call to mind the special favor which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you above the whole world”

    And last but not least:

    Al Maida 5: 21 “O my people! enter the holy land (al Artha al Muqaddasata) which Allah hath assigned unto you and turn not back ignominiously for then will ye be overthrown to your own ruin.”
