And clearly that message must be one of love and peace. “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Cleric: Iran Will Use ‘Suicide Operations to Send its Message to the World,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, November 17, 2014:
A hardline Iranian cleric affiliated with the country’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Iran has used “suicide operations” in the past and will use them again “to send its message to the world,” according to a translation of his original Farsi remarks.
Iranian cleric and political leader Mehdi Taeb issued these threats as negotiations between Tehran and the West enter their final stages.
Tensions between negotiators have run high in the lead up to the Nov. 24 deadline for nuclear negotiations, with Obama administration officials putting the odds of reaching a deal at “40 to 50 percent,” according to sources who spoke to the New York Times.
As Iran digs in its heels over preserving its right to enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, the Islamic country’s hardline leaders have begun to step up their anti-American rhetoric.
Taeb, commander of the country’s hardline Ammar Garrison, admitted that Iran has utilized “suicide operations” in the past and that these types of operations will continue into the future.
The “Islamic Republic of Iran has used and will use suicide operations to send its message to the world,” Taeb said, according to an independent translation of his remarks first reported in the Persian language press.
Taeb enjoys close ties with IRGC, which is known to conduct terror operations across the globe, and his brother, Hossein Taeb, serves as the IRGC’s head of intelligence.
Taeb’s Ammar Garrison is comprised of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei’s most faithful followers.
Saeed Ghasseminejad, an Iranian dissident and associate fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), explained that suicide operations are a key tool in Iran’s war against the West.
“Nowadays when we think about suicide attacks we automatically thinks of Sunni jihadists, but one should not forget it was the Islamic Republic of Iran that skillfully crafted suicide bombing as a religious weapon, popularized the concept, and made it an effective tool in fighting against infidels,” Ghasseminejad said, noting that the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut was carried out by such groups.
“Martyrdom, suicide bombing, and victory of blood over sword are backbones of the revolutionary version of Shi’ism on which the Islamic Republic was established and shaped,” he said.
As Iranian hardliners in Khamenei’s camp line up to oppose a deal, some of Iran’s state-controlled media outlets have begun to report that the Obama administration is prepared to permit Iran to retain large portions of its nuclear infrastructure under a final deal.
“The issue of enrichment capability is no longer the main stumbling block to agreement,” Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency reported on Monday, claiming that the United States has agreed to allow Iran to operate at least 6,000 nuclear centrifuges, which enrich uranium.
This number is larger than the ceiling of 4,000 centrifuges previously proposed by the administration, according to Fars.
U.S. negotiators also said European sanctions imposed on Iran’s oil exports would be fully lifted under a deal, according to the report.
However, the United States intends to keep at least some of its own sanctions on Iran in place, a position that has “elicited strong objections from the Iranian delegation,” according to Fars….
Neil Jennison says
Surely it is blindingly obvious that any group of Islamic Jihadis whether they be Sunni or Shia would love to get a nuclear weapon to strike Israel with?
Does anyone really believe a nuclear armed Iran would restrain itself?

Unfortunately our glorious leaders do.

Only Obama & Kerry & Co do. Obama happens to be the worst US President and Kerry the worst Secretary of State.
Walter Sieruk says
These cruel and murderous imams , mullahs and ayatollahs with their lines and lies such as “We will honor you.” and “You will go to paradise.” and “We are doing this for Allah.” Some “We” the reader might very well notice that these Muslim clerics are never the ones who go out and commit the suicide bombings. All those Islamic clerics do is brainwash other people into the mindset of want to become a human bomb. The these same Muslim clerics who had mind programmed those people send them out to commit the suicide/homicide bombings. All the time the deadly jihad bombings are going on these same Muslims clerics sit home safe. This says a lot about the real character of these Islamic clerics.
Salah says
“These cruel and murderous imams , mullahs and ayatollahs with their lines and lies…”
They are liars and cowards. They’re only doing what Muhammad (the coward in chief) used to do.
Muhammad sent his simpleton and gullible followers to their death with promises of booty and rape if they survived and unlimited sensual and sexual pleasures in his perverted version of Paradise if they got killed.

Walter Sieruk says
One of the many sad and tragic things about those suicide/homicide bombings is the their are so many Muslims ,even of the bombers family , who are so brainwashed into Islam and warped and deluded by Islam that they actually think of these murderous bombings as “martyrdom operations.” Thus they think of the deadly and wicked bombings as something that is “good.” The Bible has the answer about those of such a warped and deluded mindset. For Isaiah 5:20 reads “Woe unto those who call evil good evil and evil good…”
Jaladhi says
for Muslims, all normal definitions of good, bad, evil, moral and immoral are completely opposite to that is known to we human beings!! I wonder where Muslims were/are when God gives out brains and moral code to humans!! And if they get it, it is totally destroyed by continuous recitation of Quran!!
JOHN SPIELMAN says
just more proof that islam is a doctrine of demons and mhammed was a demon possessed mass murderer, thief, liar, misogynist and PEDOPHILE and allah is actaully known as Satan to nonmuslims!
Edison says
Bet it wont be him doing the suicide though.
Walter Sieruk says
The suicide homicide bombing in the engaging in the jihad for Islam is to a large part the result of the extreme brainwashing that is done in the mosque and madrasas by the imams and mullahs who thoroughly mind program people into believing in the Islamic doctrine/story from the Koran, 44:54. 55:56.78:31.,of a lust filled paradise with many virgins in it for the male Muslim who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam. Such false teaches as these imams and mullahs who very much indoctrinate this type of story/doctrine as of a lust filled place with virgins into the hearts and minds a of others is warned about in the Bible. Which in Second Peter 2:18 reads”For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure ,the through the lust of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures ,nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they marry, nor are given in marriage,but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. In contrast to the Islamic pipe dream of the jihadist in the story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1;16. Which “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]
Jaladhi says
Suicide bombers are Muslim way of expressing love to infidels and of course to Mo/allah!! human life has no value in Muslim cult. They kill their own children or relatives, their neighbors, all infidels, natives of the country that gives them shelter, and on and on. The only thing Muslims know is kill, kill, kill.. What hateful bunch masquerading as human beings!!
john spielman says
we should not be surprized at this mullah’s rantings because, though God is love, allah being not God but Satan in disguise. muslims cannot recognize the true nature of God because their minds are deceived by allah (Satan). Since allah/Satan was a liar deceiver and murderer from the beginning, just as Jesus said, it follows that islam is a cult of death. muslims behave like they do- because they live in utter moral darkness!
duh_swami says
Hmmm I though Allah frowned on suicide but loved martyrs.
I’m surprised the Imam used the S word, when the M word is more appropriate. A suicide is someone running away from something, while a martyr runs toward Allah…in theory anyway. I wonder if this Imam is willing to suit up and play the killer game himself? I doubt it, they never do…
Paul says
Let’s not neglect the fact that the kingdom of Arabia is a part of “the world” outside Iran, not to mention the fact that Iranian Muslims tend to prefer Shia Islam over Sunni (sunny?). The Saudis, of course, are well known for their fear of the Iranians.
Get it? Sunny? The Shia of Iran are gonna make it sunny over the Sunnis with their nukes, if they get some.
Anyhow, I think that we need to understand better the status of nonarabs in the Koranic and Muhammadan orders of things. Of course, there is the division between Shia and Sunni, which tracks somewhat the divide between Persian Muslims and Arab ones. But what about the status of Arab Muslims relative to other Muslims? We need to understand things from the Islamic fans’ perspective. They invest a great deal of pride in the memory of Ishmael, just as the Israelites take pride in Isaac. So, if Ishmael cannot be construed as the ancestor of most, or even all, nonarab Muslims, we would have good reason to suspect that we have a wedge issue. In fact, it seems to me that any Muslim who isn’t an Arab is basically like a gentile of Islam, supposing for just a moment that all Arab Muslims are, or can be plausibly construed as, descendants of Ishmael.
So, what exactly is the status of the nonarab Muslim in Islam? Is it anything like the second class status reserved for “gentiles” by the humble chosen ones, i.e. the Israelites? of whom there is only one known remnant?
Here are two helpful maps concerning numbers of Shia and Sunni, including 4 subsects of each. There is also a third sect called Ibadi:

TNT says
According the the bible , the Palestinians are descendants of lot as as well as the parts of the populations in Jordan, who live among the ishmaelites , who are descendants of Ishmael , both Lot and Hagar mother of Ishmael are from EGYPT. It seams that at least these two groups get along just fine, well depending on if they are Sunni or Shia who are apostates to each other. If you read the bible and search bible maps compare them to today’s modern maps . With online bible sources searches such as Wikipedia, to look up words such as Edom, Elam, you can find out very easily. It actually becomes very interesting. If you look up the Deity Baal, Ammon etc…that God Almighty despises, you will find a common link with the moon crescent of allah, and you can read about the nature of Islam through these ancient cults in the Bible. Which you can also find and compare these ancient pagan deity links with modern archeology in that region. Most people disregard the Bible, but it’s all there in black and white . And very easy to understand if you take the time to research it a little. It all begins to make a lot of sense. And the Bible becomes very interesting indeed. At any point the descendants of Ishmael according to Gods explanation can turn on each other and others without warning. Genesis25:18. And Genesis 16: 11-12 describes the human nature of Ishmael .
TNT says
Just one more note: if you read prophet Mohammad’s teaching, ” taking sex slaves” spoils of war, which produce offspring which links the bloodline of Ishmael who (Mohammad is descendant from) to other nations they conquer. Producing half breeds, then breeding them again, I call it breeding out other people, we Kafirs have to be eliminated by any means possible. It’s the peaceful thing to do, because Islam is the religion of peace. And there can be no peace until Islam rules the world and all are followers of Allah. It’s very easy to side with Almighty God on that one. If they cannot accept others and respect them , how in the world can they coexists in a multi cultural society. I hope that some of them can, and some do. And I pray for the Muslims every day that they can realize this as well.

I try to limit my reading about Islam to just one day every sixth day, and this is one of those days. Otherwise, this anti-islam business becomes a perturbing distraction from more beneficial reading, such as about logic or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A
Today’s reading will include a couple of Wikipedia pieces I found while working on my previous post:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmaelites
Tomorrow, the first day of my week, I’ll get back to some logic. And to Sgr A, of which it’s said that there are three components:
(1) the supernova remnant Sagittarius A East;
(2) the spiral structure Sagittarius A West; and
(3) Sagittarius A*, a very bright compact radio source at the center of the spiral.
Why is this important? If we can detect now a black hole there, and if time comes to an end in a black hole as some physicists have argued, then it must follow that time came to an end even before the birth of Adam, for the distance to Sagittarius A is almost 30k light years.
Yet time seems to have carried on, anyway. So mysterious. Makes me wonder if the only way out of the apparent paradox is parallel universe theory.

Well, if they commit suicide AND detonate their fellow Muslims at the same time, then they get those 72 virgins TOGETHER. GO TO IT, Muslims. Your virgins are waiting.

dumbledoresarmy says
It sends a message, alright.
A message that Islam is a Death Cult: a cult that exalts death over life, and, to be more precise still, that sacralises *murder*.
Here in Australia, our PM has managed to coin one memorable phrase – he calls the Islamic State jihadis “death cultists”. What he *hasn’t* faced up to, yet, either because he doesn’t realize it or suspects it but is too scared to say it in public, is that *all* Muslims are members of a death cult.

Beheaded or thrown off a 10 storey building?
Much of a muchness.
When there’s no one else to torture, they do it to other Muslims.

The most important thing America should do for Iran is to provide free INTERNET for everyone in the country. Then dissidents will have a chance to organize and overthrow the evil MULLAHOCRACY.
Charli Main says
The Iranians are a subject race controlled by their Arab masters from Mecca.
The chains forged by 1400 years of brain washing won’t be easy to break but I believe that there is still hope that the REAL Persians will drive the Meccan invaders out. After all Spain, Greece and most of Eastern Europe broke the slave chains of Islam.

It seems to escape your notice that Saudis are Sunni and Iran is Si’ite.
The two branches of Islam have been implacable enemies for centuries
