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

Iran deal “does nothing to change the fact that, in plain Farsi, Iran is committed to world conquest by Islam”

Aug 11, 2015 2:55 pm By Robert Spencer

Zarif-laughing“To treat with the Islamic Republic over the particulars of its weaponry while failing to address the very purpose of its bellicosity is delusional. The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action does nothing to change the fact that, in plain Farsi, Iran is committed to world conquest by Islam, with its clerics as warlords. Those to be conquered include America (the ‘Great Satan’), Israel (the ‘Little Satan’) and the Sunni-led Gulf States.”

The world is going to be paying the price for this deal for a long time to come.

“Fatal Flaw in the Iran Deal,” by Ali Wambold, New York Sun, August 11, 2015:

President Obama, in asserting that the choice we face with Iran is “between diplomacy and some form of war,” misjudges the Islamic Republic. It is already at war. Nor does Mr. Obama’s agreement actually achieve its stated objective: to prevent, or even meaningfully delay, Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons capabilities. Congress is right to challenge the accord.

I can claim some understanding of Iran, if not of the President’s thinking. My family ruled the country as Shahs of the Qajar Dynasty between 1785 and 1925, and again under a democratically-elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, between 1951 and 1953. I witnessed Ayatollah Khomeini consolidate his power in the summer of 1979.

That was after Khomeini’s overthrow of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, whose father had been installed with British support and on whose account America and Britain overthrew Mossadegh. Then, it was about control of Iranian oil. And yes, Iran was a victim. Now it’s about worldwide jihad, and Iran is the aggressor.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and his Revolutionary Guards are driven by a mission imposed on Iran by its constitution. Any deal that ignores this is futile. Khomeini promulgated the Constitution in 1979. It proclaims “the ideological mission of jihad,” which it defines as “extending the sovereignty of God’s law throughout the world,” through Iran’s Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

To treat with the Islamic Republic over the particulars of its weaponry while failing to address the very purpose of its bellicosity is delusional. The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action does nothing to change the fact that, in plain Farsi, Iran is committed to world conquest by Islam, with its clerics as warlords. Those to be conquered include America (the “Great Satan”), Israel (the “Little Satan”) and the Sunni-led Gulf States.

Iran’s support for terrorism in the Middle East and elsewhere is evidence enough that the regime takes this mission to heart. The ink on the JCPOA was barely dry when it was reaffirmed by Khamenei. “Even after this deal our policy towards the arrogant U.S. will not change,” he vowed. “We don’t have any negotiations or deal with the U.S. on different issues in the world or the region.” The death chants are led by Iran’s leaders. They are not meaningless theater.

If Iran’s holy war continues (as it does) despite this deal, what is the purpose of lifting sanctions and releasing $150 billion in frozen assets, thereby providing vast resources to finance it? Iran needed an atomic program less to wage its jihad than to manipulate America into lifting sanctions. Which is what Iran accomplished at Vienna, along with gaining such benefits as the lapse in a few years of constraints on arms trafficking and enhanced verification, such as it is, a few years later.…

    Well, nuclear, biological and chemical weapons help Iran enormously in that Iranian goal. Thank closet Muslim Obama et al.

    PERSIA was a great and honorable country
    under Cyrus II. After they were INVADED
    by ‘the religion of peace™’, a cultural genocide
    took place under the nazi arabs who swept aside
    the peaceful Zoroastrianism and replaced it with
    Shaitan’s own creation: the personal CULT of
    the caravan raiding/rapist/murderer mo,
    who deluded his followers with his chosen idol al-Lat,
    who became his alter ego sock-puppet ‘allah’.

    Remnants of that once great people
    can be seen in their annual Nowrooz Spring festival
    of the new year, at the march 21st vernal equinox.

    Are there any REAL Persians left,
    not the mass of arabized, islamized zombies?
    Con you once, shame on islam,
    con you twice, shame on you!

      Yes, there are real Persians left. I worked with many of them back in the day in Bombay, India. They call themselves Parsis and follow the old ways of Zoroastrianism and Persia. I have rarely come across folk as nice as them. Highly educated and cultured. Sad to see such a great culture destroyed by the filth of islam.

      Do you have any idea how many Zoroastrians and Baha’is left Iran in 1979?

      And many came here to the USA if not the rest of the western world.

      Speaking as someone with a college degree in Near Eastern studies with a concentration in the Persian language and the ancient Persian Empire – the majlis has violated every single principle Cyrus the Great instituted under his rule.

      Try explaining the Cyrus cylinder and the Iranian majlis in the same breath to one of the younger generation. They’ll have as much a hard time believing it as I do.

    Ali Wambold wrote: “The death chants are led by Iran’s leaders. They are not meaningless theater.”

    They are far from meaningless theater, just as Hitler’s series rallies at Nuremburg were not meaningless either.

    The only thing that could possibly alert Obama and his cohorts to the danger would be if the MULLAHS and their fascist followers all put on SS uniforms. At that point, a few of them would still resist facing the truth about the supremacist, THEOCRATIC FASCISM of Iran.

      To Barry, Iran getting the bomb is not a “danger” but a long-cherished objective.

    “McCain: Senate Will Have 60 Votes Needed to Reject Iran Deal”

    However, enlisting the 67 senators needed to override presidential veto of such a resolution will prove difficult, Republican senator admits.

    Excerpt:

    Republican Senator John McCain expressed confidence that enough U.S. senators will vote against the Iran nuclear deal in an upcoming resolution on the controversial agreement.

    “I am confident we’re gonna get to 60,” McCain on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” on Monday night.

    However, McCain, who is the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, warned that in order to then override a presidential veto of such a vote (called a resolution of disapproval), opponents of the Iran deal would have to enlist 13 Democrats to their side. A two-thirds majority, or 67 senators, will be needed to override President Obama, who has vowed to veto such a resolution.

    More here:
    http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/1.670707

    Link also includes a brief radio interview by Hugh Hewitt with McCain addressing obama’s outrageous remark: “Those that who oppose the deal are making common cause with those who shout ‘Death to America’ in Iran.”

      Here’s hoping they can do it – hopefully, Obama will go down in history as the incompetent who set race relations in America back decades and the stage for ISIS rather than the backstabber who allowed genocidal maniacs to get nukes.

      Champ, even Democrat Chuck Shumer is against this suicidal deal:

      http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/chuck-schumer-iran-deal-121275.html

      And he’s working to convince some of his fellow Democrats to vote against it. He’s quite influential.

      I’m still concerned, but it’s starting to look (guardedly) hopeful that Congress may veto this insanity.

    Whatever Iran wants….Iran gets.

    Whatever Iran puts in their minds it manifests.

    America is never going to deter Iranian demands by debating the Iranians.

    The only way America will outdo the Iranians will is by outthinking them, by an aggressive outthought done COURAGEOUSLY!

    Fear (cowardice) opens the door to being HYPNOIZED……

    “The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you will react.”

    A negotiator equipped with great knowledge and wisdom will never be outdone!

    “To treat with the Islamic Republic over the particulars of its weaponry while failing to address the very purpose of its bellicosity is delusional.”

    An excellent point missed by Obama, Kerry and others pushing the deal.

    However in a sense, it’s already too late. The Europeans, China and the Russians are falling over themselves to do business with Iran, to provide deep mining technology, nuclear technology, anything to make a buck. The horse has already bolted.
