“We believe the West Bank, too, should be armed just like Gaza…” This will come, if Barack Obama and John Kerry get their way.
“Iran Calls on West Bank Palestinians to Take Up Arms Against Israel, Encourages Violence,” by Joshua Levitt, Algemeiner, August 11, 2014:
Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, on Monday called for Palestinian Arabs living in the Israel’s regions of Judea and Samaria, dubbed the West Bank, to take up arms against Israel, according to semi-official state news agency Fars.
Much of the region’s sovereignty is in the hands of the Palestinian Authority government and its local mayors and city councils, but Israeli border police behind its security barrier, erected in 2005 to end the suicide bombing attacks that killed hundreds of Israelis each year since the Palestinian Intifada began in 2000, continue to be a visible point of contention.
Rather than work for closer political integration and trust building projects on each side, the Iranian Army, which has been supplying Hamas, in Gaza, with Fajr-5 missiles and Ababil drones, is calling for “more serious fighting in the occupied territories.”
Jazzayeri told Fars: “The Palestinian people, especially the youth, resistance forces and warriors have valuable experiences in fighting the Zionist enemy and through the spread and expansion of more serious fighting in the occupied territories, the usurpers and occupiers will have no option other than leaving these holy occupied territories.”
“The countdown has started for a change in the model of confrontation in the West Bank,” he said.
Fars said the general “noted that the West Bank has high potentials for confrontation with the occupiers,” and quoting him saying, “This capability accompanied by other power elements available to the main owners of the Palestinian territories can return the violated rights of the Palestinians to them.”
General Jazzayeri reiterated that Iran supports resistance in the region and it will do its best to get back the righteous rights of the oppressed people of the world, especially those in the region.
He pointed to the silence of the Arab leaders over the “savage massacre of the Palestinians” by Israel, and said, “The region would not have definitely been facing so much turmoil and chaos if the treacherous and dependent leaders of the region had not existed.”
Fars quoted Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, as saying, in July, that, “We believe the West Bank, too, should be armed just like Gaza and those who are interested in the fate of the Palestinians must work in this respect so that the pains and miseries of the Palestinian people will be decreased due to their mighty hands and the weakness of the Zionist enemy.”
Also in July, Commander of Iran’s Basij Force, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, called on the “resistance groups in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon to sign a defense treaty to help and support each other” against Israel. “We ask the resistance forces in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon to endorse a defense pact so that an attack on any of them will be an attack on all of them and if the Zionist regime makes an aggression against any of them, all of them will grow united to confront it.”

We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that the Shia and Sunni Muslims essentially want the same thing.
They want to live by and enforce “the laws of Allah” they find written in the Qur’an and Muhammad’s Sunnah. Sharia includes stoning for disobedient Muslim women and men, death for apostates and blasphemers, death for gays, etc.
The nature and doctrines of Islam always gravitate to Muslims wanting and demanding more and more Islam. And what does more Islam mean? It means Sharia. And what is Sharia? Simply the product of devout and learned Islamic scholars earnestly pouring over Islam’s canonical texts – The Qur’an, hadith and sira.
And speaking as an ex-Muslim, what I find most odd about Islam’s non-Muslim supporters is that they seem incapable of making the leap of logic to grasp the fact that when non-Muslims support and/or defend Islam, they are supporting and/or defending the following:
* Slavery:
Qur’an 16:71
And Allah hath favored some of you above others in provision. Now those who are more favored will by no means hand over their provision to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect thereof. Is it then the grace of Allah that they deny?
http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Slavery#Islam_Permits_Slavery
* Sex Slavery:
Hadith, Sahih Bukhari Vol.7, Bk.62, No.137:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: We got female captives in the war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah’s Apostle about it and he said, “Do you really do that?” repeating the question thrice, “There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day of Resurrection.”

* The death for penalty for the apostates of Islam:
In Islam, the rejection in part (of any of the pillars, or individual principles of Islam), or discarding the faith as a whole, amounts to apostasy. It is not a quick or easy affair for an apostate or heterodox believer of Islam, as the punishment for apostasy in the Islamic faith is death. Though it may be argued that this is not clear through the Qur’an alone, scholars have found justification for the penalty from within its pages, and there are also numerous Sahih (authentic) hadiths confirming this punishment as attested by Prophet Muhammad. In Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57 we see it as “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him’”, and it was also one of only three reasons given by him where killing a Muslim is permitted.

* Child molestation:
Qur’an, 065.004
And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair.
Sahih Bukhari, Vol.7, Bk.62, No.88:
Narrated Ursa:
The prophet wrote the [marriage contract] with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e.’ til his death).
http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Islam_and_Pedophilia
* 100 Lashes for unmarried adulterers: Qur’an 24:2
* Stoning for married adulterers:
Sahih Bukhari, Vol.8, Bk.82, Number 826:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah’s Apostle. One of them said, “Judge us according to Allah’s Laws.” The other who was more wise said, “Yes, Allah’s Apostle, judge us according to Allah’s Laws and allow me to speak (first)” The Prophet said to him, ‘Speak ” He said, “My son was a laborer for this man, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and the people told me that my son should be stoned to death, but I have given one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom (expiation) for my son’s sin. Then I asked the religious learned people (about It), and they told me that my son should he flogged one-hundred stripes and should be exiled for one year, and only the wife of this man should be stoned to death ” Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to Allah’s Laws: O man, as for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to you.” Then the Prophet had the man’s son flogged one hundred stripes and exiled for one year, and ordered Unais Al-Aslami to go to the wife of the other man, and if she confessed, stone her to death. She confessed and was stoned to death.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

First a big thank you to Saleem Smith for compiling excellent information, and also to those who brave the comment pages to state their ideas. We have all agreed at least by conduct to agree to disagree on many matters. This article on arming what appears to be monolithic Islam and the comments it is drawing will be no exception.
The AP today in reporting on IS stated in article conclusion: “The militants [IS] have been using US military equipment that they seized from Iraqi Army forces.”
At the end of a convoluted AP article from the propaganda press, the point. Unsaid is the obvious to anybody who’s paying attention.
Of course IS troops getting U.S. military equipment was part of the plan of the Muslim Obama administration and the fellow quislings he has installed to act in concert with globalist oligarchic forces in play for the long looters’ game. The U.S. has been an oligarchic target since after the U.S. Civil War when Abraham Lincoln warned against the rising threat of international corporations as an oligarchic form of unelected government contrary to American freedom. Oligarchic fascism would prove just as devastating to regular decent people. Oligarchic socialism and oligarchic communism would be similarly devastating to the masses. Basically, when human leadership puts wealth and power over people into the idol’s seat as it typically does, the people are always screwed over and often to their deaths.
History just never gets better.
That’s why in my faith I trust God as depicted in the Bible to be bringing soon the close to history where He weeds out the bad from the good, and takes those who chose Him (the countless martyred and misled masses of people) into eternity. Everybody will have had a chance to change and choose God over evil or their own ego at the time He closes the door. And ultimately the world will be re-made, with a new Jerusalem and only those in it who don’t want to scheme against and/or kill their neighbors.
And of course Jesus loves you, even if you’re Muslim, and I’d hope for your conversion to Christianity particularly because your death cult of a religion spawns so much terrorism that there’s really no excuse, is there?
All of the skirmishing and prevaricating and changing direction and making it appear that this or that is such and so by Obama about IS — just taqiyya tactics. Obama’s a good schemer, like Columbo the iconic TV character skilled especially in making people underestimate him.
It’s all so predictable.
The globalist oligarchs have covertly joined with the Islamic terrorists to do the dirty work — call it the Islamoligarchy — in their shared disdain and/or hatred for the masses of people who, if substantially reduced as a population, will leave the world’s resources for the greedy looters.
The Islamoligarchy will change its tactics according to what the rest of the world does or does not do to call them on their conquest agenda, but their end goal remains the same — conquest of the masses of people and taking the world’s resources for themselves.
Actions by Obama and cabal that seem marginally correct to the masses of decent people will occur only to the extent that the Islamoligarchs have to make some show of being responsive to what the masses of people in the U.S., for example, believe are Constitutional principles of freedom and personal if not religious standards of morality, for example, opposing genocide.
As soon as the Islamoligarchs believe that they can act through their various decision matrices to kill off as many people in places where there are valuable resources as possible, they will. It might be infectious disease, EMP, limited nuclear strike, the IS army against a largely undefended U.S., whatever it takes to implement martial law and corral huge numbers of the population into containment centers where the killings can start.
Gee, that sounds grim. But I’m expecting an American genocide that will make the “young Turks” Muslim genocide against the Armenian Christians seem like nothing.
The killing of Christians by IS in the former Syria and Iraq are the test cases to see how much if any world outrage there will be at the genocide in America. (Very little and much of it from Bible-based Christians in the U.S. whose pastors are aware enough to let them know to exercise their conscience against genocide both against Christians by the IS and against Jews by Hamas. This has prompted Obama’s air strikes that are doing so little against IS.) Obama can, now that he’s imported Ebola to the U.S., position the propaganda to have the world quarantine against the U.S. on the false claims disseminated by UN WHO that Americans are dying from an Ebola epidemic. (That’s one possibility for how some of it might play out.)
The Hamas war against Israel is a test case by the Islamoligarchs to show how little world outrage in 2014 there is against Islamic terrorism, instead Hamas with UN, U.S., European and propaganda press assistance waging a propaganda war for public opinion that already slanted into anti-semitism as if the world is WWII-era Nazi Germany.
Now why aren’t I heading for the hills? There’s no longer anyplace to go where you can’t be tracked in the high-tech 2014 world. Other countries don’t accept immigrants easily; none have the unsecured borders or imported Ebola that now exist in the U.S. so why would they want Americans long term if at all?
But as bad as the outside picture becomes, God is bigger and eternal, Jesus Christ loves and graces my being, the Holy Spirit unlike Allah comforts and holds me close. Miracles of love among people who know the real God are still happening where I live. My place in eternity is assured, even if there’s no fighting our way out of Islamoligarchy.
Self-defense will be fine in response to Islamic violence when it arrives large scale, and not volunteering to be a victim, but Islamoligarchy’s enforcers (the IS or whoever by whatever name like them) are going to have much bigger guns. They just are.
Also the U.S. law enforcement and military apparatus of the traitorous Obama administration will be behind them — or whoever are the next traitors in service to the worldly wealth and power of the conquering Islamoligarchy. Like climate change, it’s too far gone to be stopped. Like the Fukushima (what a name) disaster, it’s too far changed in the Pacific to come back. The world’s “doomsday clock” is at five minutes to midnight. [See bulletin of the atomic scientists – http://thebulletin.org/overview%5D.
The problem of evil is not just Islam and jihadists. It (being an extreme form of evil invading everything) is everywhere.
Shalom. I’ve quit fighting and moved to the winning side where God always is, eternal love and joy forever. It’s a good time if you’re not already right with Jesus Christ to ask Him to show you who He is, to consider inviting Him to be your Savior. (Why not try it? He will surprise you, in the good way.) It’s a good time to learn a little more about Christian end-times eschatology, to see how current events are lining up with biblical prophecy.
Because Islam isn’t going to last forever.

That picture looks a bit like the mole from ‘Thunderbirds’. I can’t recall which number pod it was in on Thunderbird 2.
Walter Sieruk says
A for the Islamic regime of Iran and its jihad against the State of Israel two things need to be made clear. First, Obama just last month lifted even more sanction on Iran then it had lifted on it before. Iran did nothing to deserve or earn the sanctions being lifted. So since this regime now has more funds it has send many weapons to Hamas in Gaza for Hamas to carry out further it murderous and heinous jihad against the Jewish State. The mullahs and other Islamic rulers in Iran only use the extra fund for death and destruction only shows the deadly and evil mindset of those in power in Iran. That the mullahs and other in power in Iran don’t sent the extra funds go to medical use to help the Iranian people who are sick and in need of medical care. This statement is made because the medical care in Iran is so terrible that hospitals are known by people of Iran as places to go to die and not get better.
Second, in the book IRAN AND ISRAEL by Mark Hitchcock it further explains to the reader about Hamas and Iran. For on page 82. it reads ” ‘Hamas’ is an Arabic acronym for Islamic Resistance Movement, and it means ‘zeal.’ Since its inception, Hamas has been committed to destroying the Jewish State and replacing it with an Islamic state…”
Many Muslims might feel at heart that this sounds like a good idea. This only shows who Islam can warp the mind and soul of a person.
