You would almost think that it wasn’t a Religion of Peace at all, but that would be “Islamophobic.”
“Iran TV airs cleric’s threats to raze Tel Aviv, target US bases,” by Justin Jalil, Times of Israel, November 16, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
In a sermon carried on state TV, an Iranian cleric threatened that his country will “raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground” and target US bases.
Ayatollah Ali Movahedi-Kermani, whose Friday sermon was translated on Sunday by MEMRI, a US-based media watchdog group, spoke extensively about Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities. Movahedi-Kermani claimed that Tehran would use Iranian-made Sejjil missiles against Israel as a defensive deterrent if Jerusalem ever decided to attack the Islamic Republic.
“If such a mistaken idea of attacking Iran occurs to Israel one day, we will, as our supreme leader said, raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground,” the cleric warned.
The sermon, which was carried by Iran’s Channel One, a government-owned station, also threatened US bases in the region, declaring that neither the United States nor Israel was safe from Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities.
“The Sejjil ballistic missile can hit and raze to the ground any place in Israel, as well as any American base in the region,” the ayatollah claimed, adding that all of “Israel’s atomic or missile centers… are within range of the powerful, fast, and awe-inspiring missiles of Iran.”
The ayatollah, who took frequent pauses seemingly to allow the crowd of thousands to chant, among other things, “Allahu Akbar,” “Death to England,” “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” mentioned the Iron Dome defense system by name and asserted that the acclaimed Israeli missile interceptor was no match for Iranian ballistic missile technology.
“They thought their fortress would protect them from Allah, but the decree of Allah came upon them from where they had not expected,” Movahedi-Kermani told the crowd of thousands.
The Iron Dome, which was introduced into service in 2011, intercepted 735 of the 805 Gaza rockets at which it was fired during the summer’s war with Hamas. The air defense system, unlike anti-ballistic missile developments such as the Arrow and David’s Sling, is not designed to be used against ballistic missiles.
The religious leader also addressed ongoing nuclear negotiations between the P5+1 coalition and Iran. The coalition, made up of the United States, China, France, the United Kingdom, Russia and Germany, is currently in discussions with Iran in an attempt to steer Tehran away from developing nuclear weapons.
“Iran will not even go back one step from the research and development and the enrichment of uranium and will not relinquish its full right to nuclear energy,” the ayatollah proclaimed.
Tehran strongly denies allegations that it is developing nuclear weapons and insists the country’s controversial nuclear program is intended solely for civilian use.
“The other side has no choice but to conduct negotiations with us in a respectful atmosphere,” he added.
Movahedi-Kermani ended his sermon by calling out US President Barack Obama, denying that US tactics of sanctions against Tehran had forced the oil-rich republic into negotiations.
“Obama says it was sanctions that brought Iran to the negotiating table,” the cleric said. “You are wrong. Iran has joined the negotiations to show you and the world that you are lying.”
Well, that much is certainly true.
KrazyKafir says
And these are America’s worst enemy that the moron in the White House tried to ally with. This, pushed along, simpleton makes Jimmy Carter look like Einstein.
Rob Porter says
KrazyKafir, Agreed. Watching these brain-dead, programmed morons spewing their rehearsed imbecilic drivellings is something to behold – a bit like watching a movie of a mass Nazi parade – but never to worry, Obama and Kerry will continue negotiating with these savages as if this threatening speech never took place. Far better that the U.S. flattens such a gathering and obliterates all those within, but it won’t and the threat will grow. In the end with America impotent through it’s treacherous and cowardly President whose sympathies are toward this enemy, Israel is going to have to deal with these lunatics.
Richie says
They say Islam is the ‘religion of peace’!
The only ‘peace’ Islam brings to the world is death
Champ says
So right, Richie …islam is not a ‘religion of peace’, but an evil and barbaric *death cult*.
Wellington says
Just one more piece of evidence that Islam is sick to its very core. Regularly, Muslims aplenty throughout the world (as here) call for death, destruction, domination of non-Muslims, etc., with Israel, easily the freest nation in the Middle East, as Enemy #1. The old theocratic bastards ruling Iran since 1979 function as prima facie evidence of this Islamic sickness.
Also, Muslims way overstate their capacity to accomplish things. For instance, how many times over the past half century or so has the Muslim world asserted that Israel is about to perish (e.g., in 1948 and 1967)? And just look at the nonsense about America being the Great Satan and Israel the Little Satan. What rot. What stupid melodrama. Only a deficient belief system could produce ad nauseam such venom (N.B., no other major faith does this, not even remotely).
Well, Islam does produce such venom. With great regularity. Damning I contend, but to see it as incontrovertibly damning it does require a person to view Islam for what it really is. Right now, Western elites, for whatever inexcusable reason, refuse to see what is so damn obvious, and what increasing millions in the West are seeing with crystal clarity as the months and years roll on, and that is that Islam is bad news for all of mankind, and especially for the freest portion of mankind, that being Western Civilization, where freedom was developed more than in any other civilization and where the Muslim world is presently taking advantage of such freedom to eventually destroy that freedom in typical parasitic and ungrateful Muslim mode.
Judi says
Good comment Wellington.
steveng says
Wellington, how true and how deluded these Muslims are. If you look at their caliphate they are mostly killing each other and most of the destruction occurs in their own backyards. There are a quite a few statistics that proves this throughout their jihad that started with Osama bin Laden and since the independence of Israel in 1948. The final analysis and figures of death, destruction and catastrophes of the Islamic Jihad since 1948 and Osama’s al-Qaeda Jihad since 2001 are:
1. 54 million people either displaced or immediately affected by conflicts, 99% of which are within Islamic states.
2. Of the 57 Islamic states across the globe… 30 are in some form of conflict.
3. Around 16 million refugees across the globe are in serious trouble, 99% of which are Muslim.
4. Since 2001 around 1.7 million Muslims have been killed in these bloody conflicts.
5. If you include American, British, Australian and other allied military casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan then add the 3,000 from 9/11, then add those who have died from terrorist bombings in the past 13 years, and if you include Christians killed in Africa and the Middle East, it may reach 17,000 people.
6. Now if you do the maths correctly that is a ratio of 100 Muslims killed for every one Westerner.
7. If the great Jihadist Osama was still alive and you put it to him that his great Jihad had only resulted in the deaths of around 17,000 Westerners but cost the lives of 1.7 million Muslims, what do you reckon this criminal and sadistic murdering bastard would say?…Probably “Allahu Akbar” that’s a good deal and a good ratio!
8. Since 1948, 11,000,000 members of the religion of peace and Islam have died in violent conflict! Don’t think that your eyes are deceiving you? Yes, 11 million people and that is babies, children, women, men and the elderly have been killed and god knows how many have been maimed and injured in that period to add to these horrific figures.
9. When you consider that WW2 in its entirety and may I remind you that WW2 was a conflict that was at least 100 times more horrific and more confrontational between armies and the most modern weapons of that day and different ideologies. Than a single religious conflict like the Islamic jihad is and will be the most horrific in history. In WW2 there was between 56 to 60 million people who died, now if the religion of peace and Islam want to continue this barbaric and criminal acts then they are heading in the right direction to become the most destructive and abhorrent single cause of death that mankind has ever known.
Jacksonl03 says
” . . . what increasing millions in the West are seeing with crystal clarity as the months and years roll on, and that is that Islam is bad news . . . ”
I can only hope you’re right, Wellington. But the biggest part of the problem is leaders like Obama (leader?) who fail to step up either because of ignorance or ideological mindset or both. And they seem to be in the majority.
Wellington says
In the majority for now, Jacksonl03, but I don’t think for long. I simply can’t see such a wretched, repressive and stupid belief system like Islam dominating long term, though to be sure it has remained largely in the ascendancy till now because of clueless Western elites like Cameron and Obama (and for all those out there who think Obama is actually complicit this still doesn’t make him not clueless).
I share your concerns and, short term, Western Civilization is still behind the eight ball, but I think it likely (though not a given) that one day the current crop of Western elites will be looked upon as fools and Islam will be viewed as one of the greatest mistakes in all of man’s history.
albert says
The problem is that by immigration and birth rate of those immigrants in the next fifty years Islam could rule Europe democratically and once Islamists gained power we all know that you can forget any human rights nonsense. Remember Islam has survived and even flourished in its present barbaric state for 1400 years. There will be no free speech, protection for minorities, respect for dissenting voices once Islam takes hold all reasonable discussion will be crushed. One day unbelievers will hang from cranes in Rome, Paris and London unless brave new leaders appear soon.
Ayatrollah says
From my limited knowledge of the complexities of the Middle East, I think the USA did not support the one true democratic movement during the “Arab spring”. Iranians, stinging from the pain of 30 years of religious rule, were ripe for real change. There was a movement by the people to get rid of the mullahs.
I think our attention at the time was helping the Muslim brotherhood out, keeping the world safe from Islamiphobia.

These rallies give me the creeps, it resembles 1933 in all signs.
Jay Boo says
“Death to America”?
Geez! That doesn’t sound very neighborly.
Pres. Obama, John McCain, Nancy Pelosi, and Reza Aslan Please tell us what this all means.
Please reassure us that when they say “Death to America” they mean it in a nice way, and not the way it seems.
Surely this must be some kind of warm greeting from the Iranian regime.
Mo says
I could only handle one minute of this filth. And this with the sound off. They make me livid. Incoherently sputtering sort of angry.
How terrifying it is to see so many hundreds of these death cult members – any and all of whom would gladly send even their own children as human bombs to murder us.
How these demonically inspired savages enrage me. How long are we going to put up with this? When is the free world going to stand up to these cultists who want to ANNIHILATE us?
How many more bombings and throats slit and pools of blood do we have to see before we say ENOUGH?
Judi says
I’ll second that Mo.
Jay Boo says
(Strike terror) into the hearts of Muslims.
Hey ! It is in the Koran. I am just quoting it.
Who are we to criticize the Koran.
(Cast terror) into the hearts of Muslims.
Allah’s Koran is a repeated confession of an admitted terrorist.
KiwiKaffir says
If there was ever a reason for a preemptive strike then this has to be it!
mortimer says
Ayatollah Ali Movahedi-Kermani and other mullahs like him are knowledgeable about Islam.
They are the ‘haters’ that so many Muslims talk about. They hate kafirs, they hate Jews, they hate Christians, they hate Zoroastrians, they hate Bahai’is, they hate Hindus.
Muslims are champions of psychological projection. Muslims hate 4/5 of all humans, as well as many fellow Muslims.
Anyone think Iran should have a nuclear bomb with guys like Ayatollah Ali Movahedi-Kermani???
Salah says
Watch the video one more time concentrating on the people, their faces, their expressions, their enthusiam…or lack of.
A few thugs are leading the crowd, the rest are simply following, annoyed, uninterested, and barely responding.
That’s how it works in Islam; a few powerful, well armed thugs leading the helpless, unarmed, ignorant, fearful, great mass of the population.
Kash says
It’s not a big deal if they’re unenthusiastic about it…as long as they “feel themselves subdued.” Psychopaths and cowards are what this cult is looking for. The brave ones are the ones who leave.
Ayattollah says
Muslim bluster- one thing they are good at. Following through, not so much.
This is for home consumption but it won’t work since Iranians are somewhat westernised and informed; they know a major attack on an Israeli city would very likely mean nuclear devastation in return.
More dangerous is Muslim infiltration of the west- this is what needs curing.
dumbledoresarmy says
I observe that, as yet, there are no shouts of “Death to China!” “Death to Russia!”.
And yet in the end the megalomania of Islam demands that *all* non-Muslim sovereign states, everywhere, must be destroyed, pillaged, ruined, their history and art treasures smashed to atoms and erased from existence, their women and girl-children raped and enslaved, their populations force-“converted” and transformed into dull-eyed hate-filled Allah Gangsters, or else crushed beneath the Muslim boot as near-slave dhimmis to do all the actual work and provide a handy punching-bag, milch cow, scapegoat and source of sex toys and victims to be ritually murdered whenever allah gets especially hungry for a nice drink of fresh human blood.
The “reason”? Because 4/5 of humanity couldn’t care less about warlord Mohammed and prefers their own faiths or absence of faith, their own laws instead of the inhuman/ antihuman unlaw that is the total and totalitarian sharia of Islam.
Here’s something I read in the comments thread to a column in “The Australian”, back in January 2009 when Israel was giving jihad fortress Gaza a long-delayed and richly-deserved drubbing.
It was so striking, in its first-hand account of a conversation with hysterical Jew-hating all-infidel-hating Muslims (who constituted the majority, not a tiny minority, of the sample witnessed by the author of the comment) that I copied and kept it.
Every now and again, I re-post it.
Here it is. (I can’t give a link, the dratted “Australian” doesn’t manage its article/ column archives very well).

“Excellent article Carolyn. [This being Carolyn Overington, who had written a scathing column castigating a nasty antisemitic article that had been published in the “Age” newspaper – dda].
” I note the earlier poster who said that he/she has sent the article in question to the Anti-Discrimination Commission. I think The Australian should do this itself and report on the outcome – it would be very very interesting.
“Marcus (the expert on everything) I cannot agree with your view that most of the Palestinians are peaceful people. [This “Marcus” was another person, an Islamophile/ dhimmi who had posted earlier in the discussion – dda].
“On Saturday [17th Jan 2009] in Brisbane there was another demonstration in favour of Palestine at which **anybody who bothered to go (I live in the city and they marched in my street so I had a front row ground level seat as my fiance and I had come back from a run) would have heard Muslim Australians chanting “kill the jews”.** [my emphasis – dda; note, not “kill Israelis” – which would be bad enough – but “kill the Jews”, which defines all Jews everywhere, qua Jews, as Lawful Prey for Muslims, irrespective of whether Israel exists or not – dda]
“I even spoke to one protestor **who confirmed he was Muslim and from Iran who said there would only be peace when Israel and the rest of the west was destroyed.** [my emphasis – dda].
” Now **this man was supported by many of his fellow protestors who screamed with him** [my emphasis – dda], but for three men in the crowd who shook their heads and at that point left the protest (and apologised to us for the comments of the others).
[observe well who was in the majority and who was in the minority – dda]
“**When I asked the man why he hated the west he said “because you reject the prophet”.** [my emphasis – dda]
“Please explain to me how this sort of behaviour should be tolerated?
“Also why is it that two weekends in a row have seen protests in their thousands against Israel – but the muslim community was silent over september 11, bali and London?” END.
Let’s just repeat that. In sunny subtropical Brisbane in January 2009, on a fine summer evening, a mob of hysterical Muslims high on wholly-canonical-Islamic hatred of the Infidels and of Jews in particular, marched down a street chanting “Kill the Jews!”
They declared their desire of seeing all of “the West” **destroyed**.
Why???
**Because we are not Muslim**. Because we are as yet not Islamified, not yet ruled over by Muslim despots imposing the sharia willynilly.
That’s all.
To repeat: *When I asked the man why he hated the west he said “because you reject the prophet”.*
THAT’S ALL.
Anyone who refuses to become a Muslim is supposed to be **destroyed**.
Anyone who isn’t Muslim is supposed to be subjugated, or destroyed.
Orthodox Islam, whether Shiite or Sunni.
They hate us and are planning and plotting and preparing themselves to attack and destroy us…why? … because we are not Muslim; because we do not admire and hang upon every supposed word nor seek to copy in every last detail the evil deeds of a long-dead Arab warlord, caravan-robber, liar, con-man, rapist of captive women and of a nine-year-old child-bride, keeper of sex-slaves, slave-raider and slave-trader, extortionist and mass murderer.

Nice people them Iranians nutters huh ? Luckily they haven’t clue how to go about it. It must be fun dealing with the usual thicko Muslims.
umbra says
it takes a unique type of fool to start WW3 and there are plenty of those in the islamic world. When WW3 happens, all gloves are off … for all is fair in love and war.
regarding iranian ballistic + nuke programs, they are limited to regional targets, no realistic intercontinental targets (except perhaps for some parts of eastern europe). iranians also have limited nuke production rate – once weapons grade enrichment is achieved – with lower yield and/or cumbersome u235 bombs. Furthermore, unless they miniaturised their bombs, they will have problem strapping a 2 ton lower yield (~20kt) u235 bomb onto their ballistic missiles or their combat jets.
… also, eva green plays a greek vassal to the persian king.

The problem that Christians will continue to

t the saying
that **when you are sla

If the whole
unislamic world should copy Israel,it would be better. You do not attack and kill an Israeli without Israel not attacking or dealing with you severely,and better still,this is just the country where JESUS,the main speaker of this very Bible quote came from. If Christians and other non muslims decide to deal with these foolish,brutish,crude,archaic,out of date,barbaric,vicious,unrepentant,unforgiving,violent and bloodthirsty retrogressive arabian muslim cultist,it is then they will learn how not to attack and destroy other people in a bestial manners they have always been. These people are as terrible as a venom of the deadliest snake,although they only attack any one that plays him/herself stupidly in to their hands. These bloody arabs need to be exterminate from the peaceful earth surface.
If people of the world will judge right,you will know now that they are always dissatisfying,intolerant,irrational and bloodletting and unpeaceful specie of the homosapiens.
They can and will never know peace on earth.
Give them a chance,you will ever regret your action,take them to your front yard,they want to enter your bedroom,get a fowl from them,they want cow/camel or your own self,borrow cap from them,they will ask for your head in return,what a bloodthirsty tribe of people !!!
People should rise up,I mean other faiths should rise and phase these animals outta our world,mohammad and muslims are the only one success of satan in the human history. They should be bombed in their cafe dens as would a hunted rabbit in a den.Stupid human race.
Mark says
Yet, almost daily our news outlets are polluted by a desert dwelling Lithuanian living in Palestine call Netanyahoo. Screaming for more blood and guts of Americans to shed for the “chosen’s” fanatic populace.
Oh how can we forget Insane John McCain’s little ditty about bomb, bomb Iran?
Or the IsRaEli citisens (agents) who “contribute” on the news programs? Like Trotskey (Bronstein) offspring William ‘Bill’ Krystal or an another fake named tribe member Krauthammer. They scream for Iranian blood daily. And have been for years.
But when someone dressed in some drapes and capes utter just a response to the head murderer, thief (Urainium) and occupier. STOP THE PRESSES. The “chosen” have been threatened and must attack. (with American boys and girls of course).
