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

Iran’s President: “No extremism has ever existed among Iranians and in Islamic rules”

Sep 3, 2014 8:02 am By Robert Spencer

Iran Hostages ReaxAs Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” Note that Rouhani denounces “the baseless Islamophobic and Iranophobic campaigns by the Zionist regime.” People are suspicious of Islamic jihadists and the Iranian mullahs because of a Jewish conspiracy, doncha know.

“Iran and Islam not associated with violence: Rouhani,” Tehran Times, September 2, 2014:

TEHRAN – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Monday ruled out any association between Islam and violence, saying, “No extremism has ever existed among Iranians and in Islamic rules.”

Rouhani said his initiative World Against Violence and Extremism (WAVE), which was approved by the United Nations last year, demonstrated that despite the baseless Islamophobic and Iranophobic campaigns by the Zionist regime, neither Iran nor Islam seek violence or extremism.

Addressing a conference on World Mosque Day in Tehran on Monday, Rouhani said the Zionists’ propaganda against Iran and Islam is baseless since “we [Muslims] are moderate people and Islam is the religion of moderation; neither leaning towards left nor right.”

Rouhani said mosque is the best place for educating people to recognize right from wrong. He stated that “some mad, wild groups kill children and women, and destroy mosques or churches in the name of Islam. However, they are ruled by some mercenaries.”

He pointed to the occupation of the holy Al-Quds by the Israeli regime, saying Muslims would not let it remain under the Zionists’ occupation.

The president said Al-Quds was Muslims’ first qibla [a holy place towards which Muslims used to perform prayers. “Al-Quds is loved by all Muslims and it is our goal to perform prayers there.”

Rouhani also said, “We [Iran] will help Palestinians and we believe that Muslims will be victorious.”…

    No offence to Muslims
    (and Muslim trolls) but,
    ISLAM IS NOTHING

    Islam is based on the concept of “It is easier to believe the ‘big lie’ than the small lie”.
    But still, Islam’s big lie is such a blatantly obvious dressed up evil display of buffoonery that a person would have to be forced into Stockholm-syndrome submission or have a selfish sociopathic desire to really, really want to believe.

    1 ___Muhammad, a prophet?
    Oh come on, Pleeeeeeze!
    2 ___ But what about The Five Pillars of Islam?
    — Shahadah
    There is no god of Allah,
    because Muhammad was ‘his’ inventor.
    Salah
    Desert spirits spoke in twisted verse, (a dance of words to recite, to recite).
    Medina’s false prophet this rehearsed in a cave near Mecca veiled by night.
    But the angel Gabriel saw his descent, and said “Pawn of Satan turn, repent, repent.”
    Bloodied hands are washed before the prayers that incite.
    Muhammad’s hate speech is masked as devotion to recite, to recite.
    Islam is nothing but a Song and Dance display with a pack of psycho killers.

    — Zakat
    Financing for terrorism
    — Sawm
    The excuse repressed Muslims use to spy on and rat out their neighbors and hate non-Muslims.
    Ramadan is an entitlement justification to commit later rapes and other sexual perversions.
    — Hajj
    Muslims bow and parade not to God but to Islam’s unholy weapon as their false humility makes its pilgrimage to Satan’s deception.

    3 ___Non-Muslims will unknowingly come to prop up Islam’s emptiness by saying,
    “How dare I claim that Islam is nothing” and reason that butchery and Islamic perversion is “Something” ignoring the fact that at Islam’s rotted core there is nothing at all. Islam has no power.

    Islam is nothing but a lame excuse for a bloodstained mind.

    As I have been saying along with many others that all Muslims are liars and this statement by Iranian President is no exception!! Muslims will lie, lie, lie till no end!!

    I have an idea for Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Muhammad Saheed al-Sahhaf (a.k.a. Baghdad Bob)—find an agent in Las Vegas. You two could do a comedy show that rivals Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis.

    We are seeing a kinder gentler Iran and Islam, to fill the vacuum created by Isis for such a category. Nice!

      I’m sure Iran will be very kind with the atomic bomb(s) they are developing. They would only use the bomb for peaceful purposes. They could have a national suntan day

      Somehow I am getting the impression that the Iranian mullahs are (sort of) trying to be polite / conciliatory in the mistaken belief they can preemptively appease the IS onslaught near their borders. It’s not going to work, if and when IS closes in on the Shatt al Arab, there will be no more Mr. Nice Guy left on the Iranian side. There will be no more Shia faffing about or denial when push comes to shove !

      To think that the mullahs can be as PC as Western useful idiots. It’s quite funny in a way ! They’re really shitting themselves, living in denial, putting the blame on ‘Zionists’, showing overall weakness (like Obama) ! This smells like panic !

      The Slaughterhouse of Pure Islam will be getting down on them like a ton of bricks !

      Be afraid, Iran ! Be very afraid, indeed !

    The islamic peoples believe this crap because they are taught to believe anything and everything a president of theirs, cleric, imam, mulla, ayatollah, (whatever) can puke up. It’s nothing short of brainwashing and enforced with violence and terror upon anyone who dares question it.
    The Iranian President Hassan Rouhani could have said Iran was the first to walk on the moon and these people would believe it.

      Islam without sociopathic violence and a constant supply enemies would be forced to examine its meaninglessness.

  7. Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Me) says

    Sep 3, 2014 at 8:52 am

    My livelihood is under the shade of my spear, and he who disobeys my orders will be humiliated.

    Whoever produces a proof that he has killed a Kafir will have the spoils of the killed man.

    “we [Muslims] are moderate people and Islam is the religion of moderation; neither leaning towards left nor right.”

    What a meaning less statement.

    What is moderate? What does it mean?

    “Islam is the religion of moderation”

    I thought it was a “Religion of Peace”

    “” He stated that “some mad, wild groups kill children and women, and destroy mosques or churches in the name of Islam. However, they are ruled by some mercenaries.””

    So why do they do that ? Not explained

    Only because they are ruled by mercenaries? Who?

    “Rouhani said mosque is the best place for educating people to recognize right from wrong.”

    According to who? IS say they are right.They got educated in a mosque.

    Rouhani in that the claim that there is no extremism is the Islamic state of Iran has a statement made by a lying and disingenuous character. For the very title of this regime is a hoax. For the Islamic “Republic” of Iran is not a real republic. Its and Islamic extremists dictatorship. a real republic is has its meaning in the Latin word of res public which is “the property of the people.” This is one thing the ruthless and brutal Islamic regime is not. For the mullahs and other Islamic clerics have much of the power and control in Iran. The come down in down very hard and oppress in many heinous and malicious ways the humans rights of the people of Iran through the vicious and malicious gang of thugs who are called the “Revolutionary Guards. Furthermore,to such a oppressive and harsh dictatorship the Bible reads “If you see…justice and rights denied do not be surprised at such things.” Ecclesiastes 4:2. In the same Bible book in 5:8 it also explains about “the tears of the oppressed …” Moreover in Proverbs 15:15 the Bible teaches “All the days of the oppressed are wretched…” In addition Proverbs 28 15: may apply to either president Rouhani or Ayatollah Khamenei which reads “Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked man ruling over a helpless people.” In short, the ruthless dictatorship of these two characters as well as the mullahs who have much power in Iran in the many terrible ways the treat the Iranian people may be summed up in Proverbs 29:2. Which teaches “When the wicked rule the people groan.” [N.I.V]

    Rouhani has proven himself to be a liar in making that statement.For the facts of reality tell otherwise.Further he and the other mullahs who have so much power in Iran along with Ayatollah Khamenei with their wicked mindset and how really they are, they may be very well described in the Bible. For the Bible in Psalm 73:6-9. reads “Therefore pride is their necklace;they cloth themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their minds know limits.They scoff and speak with malice;in their arrogance they threaten oppression.Their months lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take oppression of the earth.” [N.I.V.]

    Iran’s President: “No extremism has ever existed among Iranians and in Islamic rules”
    ………………………………………

    This shows how useless the concept of “extremism” is, since pious Muslims just consider this orthodox Islam.

    More:

    Rouhani said mosque is the best place for educating people to recognize right from wrong. He stated that “some mad, wild groups kill children and women, and destroy mosques or churches in the name of Islam. However, they are ruled by some mercenaries.”
    ………………………………………

    This is just a Shi’ite jab at their Sunni rivals, especially those in the Islamic State. The only real problem Shia have with them is that they are killing Shi’ites and demolishing their Mosques—but Shia have no problem with Muslims persecuting Christians, and practice it themselves.

    Here’s just one story:

    “Persecuted Christians flee Iran, find hope and homes in Germany”

    http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/05/18/persecuted-christians-flee-iran-find-hope-and-homes-in-germany/

    And the reference to “mercenaries” is grimly hilarious—as though pious Sunni Muslims are not *flocking* to the sanguinary Islamic State.

    More:

    He pointed to the occupation of the holy Al-Quds by the Israeli regime, saying Muslims would not let it remain under the Zionists’ occupation.

    The president said Al-Quds was Muslims’ first qibla [a holy place towards which Muslims used to perform prayers. “Al-Quds is loved by all Muslims and it is our goal to perform prayers there.”
    ………………………………………

    Never mind that Muslims *can and do* perform prayers at Al-Aksa Mosque.

    What he wants to see is the *out and out destruction of Israel*. Nothing “extreme” about that…

    “No extremism has ever existed among Iranians”. Tell that to the American Embassy workers who were held hostage by Iranian extremists in 1979. These workers were held hostage for a year and a half because these ‘moderate muslims’ disagreed with U.S. policy.
