Obama: Iran has “no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon” because “it would be contrary to their faith”

Feb 10, 2015 3:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Barack ObamaIt was reported back in September 2013 that “although talk of such a fatwa has been around for at least eight years, there’s no evidence it was ever issued, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which flatly called the fatwa a hoax. MEMRI claims the phony fatwa is promoted by Iranian diplomats and Turkey’s Islamist prime minister, Recep Erdogan. ‘There is no such fatwa. It is a lie from the Iranians, a deception, and it is tragic that President Obama has endorsed it,’ MEMRI Founder and President Yigal Carmon told FoxNews.com. In July, the Iranian website Tasnimnews, which is linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, published an extensive list of 493 fatwas from Khamenei dating back to 2004. None forbade the pursuit of nuclear weapons.”

“Obama: Iran Won’t Pursue Nuclear Weapons Because It’s ‘Contrary to Their Faith,’” by Bradford Thomas, Real Clear Politics, February 9, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

In a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Monday, President Obama said he believed a deal with Iran on nuclear weapons was possible because Supreme Leader Khamenei said it would be “contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon.”

The issues now are sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified where we’re at a point where they need to make a decision. We are presenting to them in a unified fashion, the P5+1 supported by a coalition of countries around the world are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.

And if in fact what they claim is true, which is they have no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon, that in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon, if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal. They should be able to get to yes. But we don’t know if that’s going to happen.

    Oh, they say they don’t want to get a nuclear weapon? How reassuring! We just need to ignore the mountain of evidence proving otherwise, not to mention the concepts of “taqqyia”, “kitman” and “tawria”.

    I said this yesterday and I’ll say it again today:

    I’m growing more and more convinced that Obama is a narcissistic, pathological liar who is physically and mentally unable to back down from any challenge to fool all the people all the time. It’s like he has yet to see a wrong side he doesn’t automatically try to defend against logic and facts.

    Iran is developing long range ICBMs to spread the peace and tolerance which has defined Islam since its early days.

    — future statement of Barack Obama

    Either Obama is dangerously delusional and is incapable of ascribing bad motives to the Muslims he admires so much. Or Obama considers himself a stealth jihadist actively spreading the supremacy of Islam and sharia.

    Either way, we are in big trouble.

    JIMMY CARTER ABANDONED THE SHAH

    on the belief that the Ayatollah Khomeini was a humane and saintly man and a Jeffersonian democrat who’d replace monarchy with democracy in Iran. And in doing so unleashed the rise of Islamic Jihad in the Middle East. If Obama believes that Khomeini’s successor isn’t pursuing the bomb because it’s a sin against Allah and Islam then why continue negotiations? They’re an exercise in futility-a waste of time and money. Or is Obama suddenly making this claim for the mullahs in a laughable attempt to stop Congress from reimposing sanctions on them, and to undermine Bibi Netanyahu’s anti-Iran speech next month?

    The following is a link to a video about Israel destroying Saddam’s nuclear facility in the 80’s.

    http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/69580

    The world was steamed because all insisted, even the French and the Italians, that the tech and materials that Saddam and the Iraqis had only been buying was only for peaceful purposes.

    But now, nearly three decades later, one of the lead Iraqi nuclear scientists on the job, (His statement is near the end of the video.) who has long since fled Iraq, says, “The facility had absolutely no other purpose than to build a bomb.”

    I wish I could make bets on Odumba in Vegas. Even if he isn’t 100% wrong, he’s been so close I could be rich,rich, rich.

    Course now, Vegas probably would have odds of thousands, maybe even millions, to one.

    As I wrote on another thread two or three days ago, while America has had some sub-par Presidents like Pierce, Buchanan and Carter, America has not had until Obama a true fool for President. Carter, I think, comes the closest until Obama and he has certainly acted the fool since he left the Presidency, but I would argue that Obama is America’s first Chief Executive who, while in office, is, quite simply, a fool.

    Compounding this foolishness is Obama’s arrogance; a combination never good but disastrous in an American President. But that’s what America has right now for a President—–an arrogant fool. Of this I am certain and I am certain of something else and that is that Obama will never learn and so he will never cease being a fool with heaps of arrogance attending his foolishness.

    Not good. Whatever’s wrong with the world, and there is much wrong with the world, it’s nothing Obama will ever fix. Indeed, he will most likely only make things worse. He already has both in domestic and foreign policy and, damn, he still has almost two years left in office. Oh yeah, not good. Wow, it’s a long way downwards from America’s 1st President to its 44th. A long way.

      Wellington, or anyone who seriously knows about the legal grounds, or lack of, for the answer to the following question:

      Why there is no law or legal basis, which at least seems to be the case in US, to remove or impeach an elected political figure, including the president, when this person has clearly, clearly lied during elections about something of utmost importance to many people, which later proved to be the complete opposite of what that person said?

      Before the elections of 2008, at least in two separate occasions he said that he’s not a Muslim. I really believed him and thought that he is a genuine defender of humanity, not Islam!

      If there is no law or legal grounds to impeach or remove someone like that from office, then there must be something wrong, somewhere.

    it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon

    Why is that? What other weapons of war are ‘contrary’ to their beliefs?

    I do believe that O- Boy, Rasulullah Obama, is becoming daft. He looks daft, he talks daft and he acts daft. I’m not an expert on daft, I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it…In the institution you hear every kind of wild story, some of them slightly plausible, but behind every one is layered with daft.

    … that in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon, if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal.

    So the Supreme Leader told State that they’d never do a nuke cuz Islam is a religion of peace, a nuke is antithetical to the Holy Ko-Ran. A literally unbelievable fact is that only a fool would regard as possibly true, but it is a fact that the Supreme Leader did say it. Even more unbelievable is that our President actually called him the Supreme Leader.

    Apparently it’s over poor Obama’s head to ask the question supreme to whom. I wonder if his Chief of Staff, the shadowy Persian Moslima Valerie Jarrett, got the Supreme Leader’s sick joke.

    Obama said if that is true with no mention of the fact that the Supreme Leader and his former right hand man both have proclaimed the intent to nuke bomb Israel. But maybe they were kidding, even done there are no jokes in Islam, according the Supreme Leader’s predecessor, at least.

  20. Bezelel says

    Feb 10, 2015 at 5:39 pm

    Could it be that obola regards his executive orders as fatwas? Note: There were NO nukes when moHAMed was around. So how can anyone say he would have disapproved of them? The only thing islam dislikes about nukes is the prospect of having nukes used against them.

    I am starting to get an awful feeling Obama is starting to sound like Hitler in his last days of power,it appears to me the USA citizenry have not measured up to Obamas expectations and history applicable to his origins and worldview appear to have engendered in Obama a contempt for the USA its values and institutions and leading to policies ensuring the USAs eventual destruction. It would not surprise me in the least if the thought had entered his mind to push the button and be rid of what Obama views as an insidious State.

He’s made it clear no that we are crusaders and Islam is a religion of peace– thank you so much, we’re now up to our knees with Islamic apologetics and its most recognizable figurehead is the POTUS. Good grief…

      Being grown up as a Muslim, he can’t stand any one criticizing Islam and Muslims. From day one has stood up for Islam – first it was apology tour on behalf of USA and then continually telling us Islam is a religion of peace and these “violent extremists”( without any name) have a bankrupt ideology of no name, thus always running interference for Islam and Muslims, removal of Islam and Muslim from all anti-terror training manuals of FBI — total taqiyya practice of a good Muslim.

    Kayla Mueller’s murder and the Islamophiliacs:
    And NO, I do not think all Muslims are murderers. I only think that Islamic murderers are murderers. but the islamophiliacs share the blame of Kayla Mueller’s death.
    this is why we need a war president, not an Islamophiliac like O. (an islamophiliac is a person who says he is not a muslim but supports Islamic murderers and terrorists up and down.
    whether Kayla was killed outright by the Islamic murderers of ISIS or killed in a Jordanian attack, she died because Islamic murderers kidnapped her.

    Iran also denies they persecute Baha’is. Any of you go and read just how much persecution is going on relentlessly. Tearing down Baha’i cemeteries, denied higher education and even a Fatwa by the Supreme Leader not to associate with Baha’is because we are ‘unclean’. Not to mention the 20,000 Babis massacre when the Faith began and that they killed the Bab and exiled Baha’u’llah the two Baha’i Prophets. They haven’t an atom of credibility whatsoever. A Mulla led government WILL acquire nuclear weapons and WILL have no qualms about using them.

    They LIE about EVERYTHING.

    They’ve been persecuting us for over 160 years non stop yet deny it!!!!!!!!!

      Rather than just become increasingly frustrated at these type of worryingly ignorant / misleading statements from Obama and many other Western leaders, I’d really like to gain a better understanding of why exactly it is that they’re continually refusing to talk honestly and openly about the problems of Islamic extremism. There seem to be a multitude of theories, ranging from Obama’s muslim background, a fear of losing votes by ‘upsetting’ muslims, delusional adherence to political correctness, genuine ignorance of the problem at hand (scary!), infiltration of Western governments by a fifth column of Islamists, selfish self-preservation, and many others.

      Could Robert or any of the well-informed, open minded readers frequenting this site please enlighten me as to why it is that so many of our so-called leaders not only refuse to address the problem at hand, but go so far as to deny there even is a problem. Is it simply a combination of these factors, or is there a more sinister, overlooked explanation for their immoral and illusory rhetoric?

      Of course I’m aware that there will always be widespread corruption, cowardice and self-interest in politics – that’s nothing new – but it’s the fact that the vast majority of left and right wing Western leaders are appear to be toeing the same line that is most alarming to a concerned onlooker like myself…

    Those that are in the truth know Islam is not a religion of peace. Second Muhammad was a false prophet sent by the enemy. Anyone proclaiming a different message of salvation that is not according to the one Messiah spoke about is accursed. The Koran calls unbeilevers in the pseudo islamist cult animals. For these muslims to come to America and try to proclaim their place of worship exactly ten years after radicals executed thousands of people including women and children is mocking not only this country and its people but the memory of those people who were taken from their families and friends. This I do know though that there will be a day where there will be peace on this earth. Mashiach Yeshua Chai (Messiah Jesus Lives). We must stand united as a nation and stop them in the name of God the Creator of heaven and earth. We are chosen to be set apart as children of the King.

      and Pakistan was assisted by Saudi Arabia to obtain nuclear weapons.

      and what is the faith of Saudi Arabia?

      http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-24823846

      “It has also been clear for many years that Saudi Arabia has given generous financial assistance to Pakistan’s defence sector, including, western experts allege, to its missile and nuclear labs.

      Visits by the then Saudi defence minister Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz al Saud to the Pakistani nuclear research centre in 1999 and 2002 underlined the closeness of the defence relationship.
      ………..

      The Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan was accused by western intelligence agencies of selling atomic know-how and uranium enrichment centrifuges to Libya and North Korea.”

      and WHAT is the faith of Libya? Ask Obama.

      “Senior Pakistani official said What did we think the Saudis were giving us all that money for? It wasn’t charity””

      and less than a year ago! (so what changed? Iran does not have ambitions anymore?)

      http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/nuclear-kingdom-saudi-arabias-atomic-ambitions

Obama is, delusionally and without researching the facts, quoting Iran’s supreme leader, claiming that he said something that he didn’t say. This is par for the course with regards to Islam and Obama. Either he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and simply accepts any lies and advice from his moslem advisors (whose agenda is to advance Islam) or he is lying on purpose to advance Islam. It is only one or the other.

          the headline here misquotes obama. look at what obama said: obama said that Iran CLAIMS some stuff, and IF Iran isn’t lying then they will accept obama’s political deal.

          Jihad Watch claims obama himself said the stuff that obama only said was Iran’s position. obama was actually very careful to be clear about this, multiple times specifying that he’s not sure if iran is telling the truth or not.

          i explained all this more clearly at my blog.

    Barry is delusional. Islam is not a free-thinking unit that is able to amend its practice to meet the Western desires of peace, because its “constitution” of the Quran demands that there be no alternative path apart from jihad. Israel understands this all too well, and they know darn well what to do about it when the time comes.

    I am just an old retired guy but I think that the worst thing tha happened to Obama was being awarded the Nobel Peace Price. Now he probably feels that he has to live up to it!

    Ok, so the US is, or was, Christian when we developed ‘the bomb’ and used it. So he’s implying that Christians will nuke you out of existence, whereas Muslims would not.

    THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT?

    The title of the article misrepresents what Obama really said. Obama is saying an “if, then” statement.

    The homespun version of Islam the Obama practices with his wife and children might be a religion of peace, but the real Islam certainly isn’t.

    He not
    Sunni
    Shia
    etc

    He practices Obamaism. Islam with whitewashing for the kafir.

    Obagworm covers for his fellow islamics as the religion of satan finishes up building their 1st nuke. History will remember this stain in the White House as a traitor and certainly the worst President this nation has ever made the mistake of electing…twice! Truly disgusting!! The Israelis can’t count on this muslim for help…only to enable their enemies!

    Yeah giving nukes to a country that has religious leaders that have flat out said they want to destroy Israel, that makes sense. He reminds me of the president in the movie “Mars Attacks” a comedy about super violent aliens that come to earth and the politicians keep trying to give them the benefit of the doubt even when the aliens continue to slaughter everyone in sight. Sadly a movie that parallels the US reaction to terrorism.

    I would suggest that Obama listen to the tens of thousands of Iranians rallying on this day of their anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and the Ayatollah’s ascent to power. They clearly would love to drop a nuke on the USA, Israel, or any other western country if possible. The Obama presidency and administration is sheer madness.

    Well why give up all their fun with power drills, decapitating, child molestation , suicide bombs attached only to children and women. I mean with a bomb you cannot film it for the individual families nor can they ” get off” on the thrill of the kill. A bomb might actually cause fall out on themselves and rid the world of a few murderers. There are so many things they have to consider. The man living in the WH is insane btw.

    Iran too holy to build nuclear weapons?! Are we seriously supposed to ignore the high probability that Iran either has or is building nuclear weapons? If there never was a Fatwa made against building nuclear weapons, is Iran complying with the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and UN resolutions?. If there was a Fatwa made and Iran has nuclear weapons have they broken the nuclear proliferation treaty, and defied UN resolutions.? “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” – what is it we don’t understand in Islam about the word “kill”? And here is Obama talking to his Muslim brotherhood and dictating the terms to the world that Islam does not permit the building of nuclear weapons. Has Obama a signed agreement to a Fatwa made by Iran? I put it to other confused minds like my own to consider this. If Iran threatened to destroy your nation, would you consider it perfectly normal for the leader of your nation to defend Iran? If you would, what’s the deal? Is the enemy pointing a gun at your head or would you consider yourself partisan to the death threats Iran is making against your nation?

      Iran has been working steadfastly and at a staggering cost for at least 18 years to get the bomb. Their bombproof underground facilities alone represent an amazing engineering feat. Caroline Glick has pointed out that to enrich up to 5% actually gets you to 60% to a nuclear core. Too bad no one in this administration or the media seems to get this unsettling fact. Obama’s religious comment is beyond foolhardy. The question isn’t whether Iran goes Nuclear – but what they do with it with regards to Israel. Obama either knows all this which makes him a traitor to the western world or he is a profoundly stupid man. I’m pretty sure it’s the former. Not that most Americans give a crap about any of this. Very much enjoyed your Feb 11 piece Margaet S. Vaughan.

    BHO is either:

    Mad

    I favour “wicked” since he has access to all the necessary information and yet still denies what is obvious.

    Mr. Obama should also know that lying to the “infidels” is perfectly acceptable to an Islamic believer. Of course, that is what he does to the American people so why should he care that Iran is probably doing the very same thing. Bring back Reagan’s trust but verify and strength in dealing with these people.

    • Roy C says

      Feb 11, 2015 at 9:32 pm

      Right on Bob – I’d even take it one step further – lying to infidels is actually mandated if it advances the cause of Jihad. Given that our Muslim-in-chief was born and raised Muslim he obviously knows this. Did you enjoy his prayer meeting recap of the crusades told from the Islamic viewpoint? Just what you’d expect from a Muslim.

    I haven’t had the time to read all 90 comments so far, but I would hope someone would have pointed out the obvious “cognitive dissonance” example in seeing all the words and behaviors, all the lies, plus hussein on video referring to himself as a muslim, and not be able to reconcile that the ducks all quack like ducks, and oh, by the way, ‘allah was the best of deceivers” and so are supposed to be all mohammadans, of any degree, forever, but especially the “best of them” (most fundamental, orthodox believers, that is, for the uninitiated).

    And the quacking refers to the pals of muslim brotherhood associated nature whom he has aided, in the regime, white house, and overseas, among other version of same gang members.

    Hussein?, Come-on, wise up world. It is a duck, just like the other ducks, all quacking up the whole damn world, as always, for 1400 odd years, with the exception of those grand heroes of humanity, who were serious duck hunters, Martel, Sobieski and a number of others, and yes, even the Crusaders, to the degree they provided some degree of a holding action, of sorts against the mohammadans, tied ’em up for a while, and they didn’t do it, (achieve heroic status) by tea and crumpets in the afternoon.

    And come on people, understand one other point, the only ultimate thing they regard, fear and respect, at all, is continuous miserably applied physical strength, applied against their persons, in awful, awful, ways. Unfortunately, the real story behind Vlad Tepes exploits comes to mind, in a somewhat heroic function, but that is how it was done, then, and how they, them, the 7th century mohammadans, all of them from today, are supposed to do it now, and are in fact globally doing it now, when they can.

    Why the hell do you think they have such a fetish for edged weapon use, the ropes, and the nails on timbers. Because that is how their leader did it or had had it done.

    For the Love of G-d, get with the facts of life. It’s their bloody gore filled declared continuous war, on all of us, pagan, atheist, Judeo Christian, even millions of muslims themselves, defend yourselves against them. And mohammadans, grow up and learn to be heroes, quit mohammadanism in millions, in writing, deny the shahada, boldly, openly, in millions, of the bandit gang. Show them some real heroism, remember Martel, Sobieski, Tepes, and many others, through all the centuries.

    Anyone who hasn’t learned the story of the bandit gang go here: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=803_1245116808 You can get an idea of what centuries of intelligent leaders had to say of them, except there are other sources for dozens of such observations through the centuries. The most current one I’ve seen is this from a true hero among many other such, in same and other wars:

    “Savage, despicable evil. That’s what we were fighting in Iraq.” ― Chris Kyle, American Sniper

    That describes no “religion” I’ve ever heard of in history. Damn it, Think!

    How can president say if it is true when he knows it is not true that it is contrary to Islam because Pakistan has one and the Saudis want one because of what Iran is doing to have one.?

    PRESIDENT OBAMA: The issues now are sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified where we’re at a point where they need to make a decision. We are presenting to them in a unified fashion, the P5+1 supported by a coalition of countries around the world are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.

    And if in fact what they claim is true, which is they have no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon, that in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon, if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal. They should be able to get to yes. But we don’t know if that’s going to happen.

  64. Dave J says

    Feb 11, 2015 at 11:09 pm

    I’m pretty sure that an islamic nation that is obsessed with hatred of Jews, supports terrorism around the ME and routinely calls for Death to America and Israel would not be interested in weapons of mass destruction, because we all know that Islam is a religion of peace. Just because they have developed long range missiles and have thousands of centrifuges spinning away, hidden in bomb-proof tunnels is no reason to suspect their goals. The missiles are probably just for carrying thousands of Korans to the infidels and the enriched uranium is only needed because they have no other domestic energy sources.

    So, everybody relax and we’ll just see what happens a little further down this road.
