Iran: Protestors firebomb, ransack Saudi Embassy after execution of Shia cleric

Jan 2, 2016 7:54 pm By Robert Spencer

The execution “means that Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to punish all terrorists.” The attack on the Embassy means that Iran will not hesitate to stand up for Shi’ites against Saudi Arabia. This could easily escalate much, much more.

An update on this story. “Iranian Protesters Ransack Saudi Embassy After Execution of Shiite Cleric,” by Ben Hubbard, New York Times, January 2, 2016:

Iranian protesters ransacked and set fire to part of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran on Saturday after Saudi Arabia executed an outspoken Shiite cleric who had criticized the kingdom’s treatment of its Shiite minority.

Protesters broke furniture and smashed windows in an annex to the embassy, said a witness who was reached by telephone from Tehran. The protesters also set fire to the room, said the witness, who would provide only his first name, Abolfazl, because he had been involved in the protest.

The police arrived and cleared the embassy grounds of protesters and extinguished the fire, he said.

The protest against the execution of the cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, turned violent after participants began throwing Molotov cocktails at the embassy and then broke into the compound….

Hundreds of Shiites took to the streets to protest in eastern Saudi Arabia and in Bahrain, witnesses said.

In Iran, protesters tore down a flag from the Saudi Consulate in the city of Mashhad, and demonstrations were planned for Sunday in Tehran.

Saudi officials denied that sectarianism had played any role in the executions.

“This means that Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to punish all terrorists,” said Anwar Eshki, a retired major general in the Saudi Army who is the chairman of a research center in Jidda….

    Thugs, Thugs and more Thugs. The have Hizbollah Hamas and other Surrogates to do their dirty work. When was the last time Iran was actually in combat with another Nation head to head. Planting IEDs or blowing up Jewish Centers in Buenos Aires killing pre-school children doesn’t count. The Iraq-Iran War lasted from 1979-1985-6. 7 years of war at a cost to the Iranians of 1mm people. Now, think Turban head, the USA fought Iraq twice and both times within short measure dispatched the enemy. So Iran has sophisticated weaponry and if not already, soon a Nuke with missiles but NO experience in actual combat using these weapons. Both Israel and the USA have combat experienced militaries ready to go at a moments notice. So, talk tough, look touch think it but when you engage you will be very surprised.

      Agree with Jack. ‘Thugs’

      Islam is thuggery from start to finish. Islam is the only faith that has vigilantism enshrined in a legal code (Sharia). There is no punishment in Islam for murdering an apostate or blasphemer.

      Islamic thugs control all speech wherever there are Muslims. Today it is not possible anywhere to speak criticism of Islam because of the THUGS.

    Here’s another difference between Dar ul-Islam and Dar ul-Harb. In the civilized world, embassies and ambassadors are sacrosanct, and can even give sanctuary. In the lands of Islam, ambassadors are hostages, who can be murdered to express displeasure.

    Sunni v. Shiite. Oh yeah, nothing new here.

    Islam is so screwed up even into the 21st century. All other major religions do not threateningly impose themselves upon mankind. Islam does so regularly. Daily actually. It is a burden to all the world (and especially to the the West where Islam is only too ready to use Western freedom to ultimately destroy it) like no other major religion, or minor religion for that matter, even remotely is.

    The Sunni v. Shiite crap is just one dimension of this dysfunctional characteristic of Islam. Muslims engaging in pity parties for themselves (most tellingly after another Muslim atrocity) is yet another demonstration of the pathological and narcissistic make-up of Mo’s creed. And there are many more such pathologies and selfish behavior that can be attributed to Islam, not the least being the mortal threat to liberty which the Islamic theological blueprint surely is and the fact that Islam has a Golden Rule for Muslims only and not for all of mankind.

    The burden to all the world which is Islam remains unabated. It always will because Islam simply can’t help itself from being the turd in the religious bunch bowl. Never has. Doesn’t now. Never will. Which is why Islam can only be discarded——chalked up as one of the greatest mistakes in all of man’s history (arguably even the greatest).

    Those averring that Islam can actually be reformed constitute the stuff of fools. Might as well try and reform Nazism or Marxism. Is Islam this awful? You bet it is.

    • epistemology says

      Jan 2, 2016 at 9:25 pm

      Very good analysis as usual. Islam is intrinsically perverse. Their self-appointed prophet suffered from narcissistic personality disorder that’s why he always had to be the centre of attention. Islam is a political ideology same as Nazism. Trust me I studied both. It’s the same totalitarianism, the same supremacy, the same anti-Semitism and the same personality cult. But all these apologists don’t want to hear of it. I agree Islam is really a big turd in the history of mankind. We’ve got to get rid of the scum.

      But now they’re killing each other. Good luck to them

      Happy New Year and all the best to you and yours, take care my friend

        A Happy New Year to you too, epistemology. You know, one thing is for sure and that is that any happiness people like you and I experience is always in spite of Islam and never because of it, such a total downer is Mo’s creed.

        May you and those you hold most dear remain safe, prosperous and content through 2016, difficult though this may be at times. What the hell, being happy and fulfilled in spite of Islam is just one way of repudiating this spiritual form of Nazism.

        Take care, my friend. And again, Happy New Year.

        And better for Iran and Saudi Arabia to be at it with each other than the rest of the world.

        Prior to the Islam invasion of the Persian Empire – the empire was civilized and nothing at all like what we see nowadays.

        Iran has nukes. I am sure they would not hesitate to use them on Saudi Arabia.

        I have spoken to many Iranians – both at UA while working on my Near Eastern Studies degree – and post-graduation – and they all say the same thing: their theocracy needs to go, and they need to reclaim their rightful heritage which was taken away by these thugs.

    • jihad3tracker says

      Jan 2, 2016 at 9:54 pm

      Hello again Wellington — Yes, agreed: “Those averring that Islam can actually be reformed constitute the stuff of fools.”

      As I and perhaps you also have seen in web posts during 2015 — at blogs created by sincere Muslims or ex-members — the avalanche of Sunni versus Shia slaughter brings those reformers or infidels to a crisis. Their hope is dialogue to achieve agreement dissolving conflict, but history is vectored against that prospect.

      Muhammad died unexpectedly without naming a successor — which created the “whose heritage is it?” situation now. Because Islam is deliberately immune to modernizing, there will never be a path to solving this schism.

      As Pamela Geller — the most courageous person in America (and probably the entire planet) — wrote in her blog early last year, “There is no reason in Islam.” thus describing what Muslims consider to be intelligent back and forth discussion.

      What we can reasonably predict in future DECADES — not the Western-nation fantasy of conquering a caliphate soon — is relentless jihadist war in the United States. Robert Spencer recently wrote of this conflict lasting for “centuries”. Such is the unpleasant truth.

      • Wellington says

        Jan 2, 2016 at 10:19 pm

        I hope, jihad3tracker, it is not centuries but “only” decades, though the subtle iniquity which is Islam might require the former. God help mankind if it does because if it takes centuries to consign Islam to the trash heap of history, where it most assuredly deserves to be consigned, there might not be much of mankind left.

        Well, Hitler spoke of the Third Reich as the new “thousand year Reich,” emulating the First Reich which was the Holy Roman Empire, which, with all its faults, still lay within the orb of civilization, as opposed to the Third Reich which most certainly did not. Fortunately for mankind Adolf was off by some 988 years.

        Then there was the iniquity which was Communism. Khrushchev bragged about how it would replace capitalism and democracy but here again the bragging of the totalitarian was way off. I’m pulling for a trifecta whereby Islam, finally exposed to a scrutiny the likes of which it has never endured, will also die a quicker death than many understandably fear it will not I say twenty or thirty years from now, Islam will have gone the way of Nazism and Marxism, existent only on the margins of societies with adherents who are almost universally looked upon as confused human beings, losers or miscreants. Hey, call me a cautious optimist.

        A Happy New Year to you and yours. Take good care, jihad3tracker, and may 2016 prove to be a year in which one or more nails are driven into the Islamic coffin.

          Well put Wellington. The necessity of them being relegated to the scrap heap of mankind makes Obama and his ilk’s proclamation that “Islam is a religion of peace” and “ISIL has nothing to do with Islam” especially egregious. Who knows how much more life-blood these lies have pumped into the monster that is Islam and how many more years and lives it will take to eradicate it because of them. Shameful and treasonous.

          Happy New Year to you and everyone here at JW. And thanks again to Robert Spencer and all those like him for the amazing humanitarian and patriotic work they are doing. The civilized world owes you a debt of gratitude.

        And Pamela Geller is 1000% right.

        In this case it is probably a lot easier to say what Islam is not:

        Islam is not “clear thinking.”

        Islam is not personal accountability.

        Islam is not rational.

        Islam is not joyous.

        Islam is not honest.

        Islam is not life-sustaining.

        Islam is not progressive.

        Islam is not civilized.

        Islam is not peaceful.

          Although I completely agree that the notion of nuking SA is unthinkable and barbaric, it’s important to, at least as a US citizen, not get too high on a moral horse. Nuking Japan was genocide as was the saturation fire bombing of cities in Germany and Japan. It became and was necessary but that does not change the nature of the mass killing. If Japan had not surrendered how far would it have gone? The possible answers are frightening. Even General LeMay remarked that “.. I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal”. It is the victor, good or bad, who puts on the white hat and hangs the opponents.

          It is a horrible tragedy that it was ever necessary. For some, like the Iranians, the lesson of never repeating it again has been lost in a desire to turn Islamic supremacist attitudes into an achievable reality.

        • Pig Jizya says

          Jan 3, 2016 at 9:45 am

          I often look for your posts, Westman, but the idea that the United States was guilty of genocide in opposing Fascism is just grotesquely false.

          As soon as Germany and Japan ceased their aggression we stopped our defense, and embarked on the most generous treatment of defeated enemies in the history of the world.

          Less than a decade after the war, Germany and Japan were thriving. Does this sound like the actions of those bent on *genocide*?

        Lets not. I do wonder if this is the beginning of a “30 years war” like we had between the catholics and protestants in europe (1618-1648) . That conflict seems to have so many parallels to the present day conflict between the shi’a and sunni-savage warfare, rape, looting, total lack of humane treatment of each other or the civilian victims of the sides.
        One of the problems I see will be that the conflict will not be confined to the middle east but will be conducted in the rest of the world wherever the two sides meet. What happens if the sunnis nuke the shi’a in malmo or dresden or rome?
        Lets all hope that nukes don’t ever get used or there may not be a human race left.

          Find me a Shiite suicide bombers blowing up Christian churches, beheading ‘infidels’ on video or selling Yazidi or orphaned Christian girls as sex slaves. In comparison to that, from Indonesia to Nigeria and all across the globe, that is what Saudi-backed, American-allied wahabi salafists are doing to others, including to the Shiites in every single day. It is true, that the Iranian mullahs are a danger to the great nation of Israel but even the Shiite Iranian mullahs are not as suicidal as their Sunni Salafi Wahhabist counter parts. The Iranian people are the most civilized, most progressive, more cultured and much more smarter than their Arab, Pakis, Turkish counter parts and generally (apart from the Iranian regime of mullahs), Shiites are by far more moderate than Sunnis who make up over 85 percent of all muslims and you even see in places like Lebanon and Syria, Shiite militia (Hezbulah) protecting Christian monasteries and other Christian holy sites and villages from ISIS and other American-backed genocidal Sunni jihadists.

    What do we know about the activities of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr? Better to avoid judgement about the execution until that’s settled. As for the embassy and consulate attacks, Iranian lawlessness has a penchant for disregarding diplomatic sanctuary which it treats with zealous contempt. Since the sacking of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, during the Carter administration, by the cretinous Revolutionary Guard thugs, Iran’s image has been irrevocably tarnished.

    Scrutiny, this is the key. No excuses or apologies, we must examine Islam very closely, giving them no escape hatches about culture or tradition or “faith”. If its evil then say so, read their damned book and proclaim the truth.

    The fact that they are divided against each other as well as against us is some cause for hope, as well as a clue to their true nature.

    If Americans ransacked the Saudi Embassy in Washington DC one can imagine all the fatwas , and unmitigated condemnation of it as Islamophobia , Western if not specifically US imperialism , bigotry , racism , etc and all the calls for Muslim “brothers” to unite against heathen aggression , and how the sacking burned a Qu’ran or tore a page of one etc but Muslims can burn whole Mosques and every Qu’ran if not Muslim in it with total impunity from the accusation of infidel, racist or anything other than a zealous Muslim , how many Christians have had their houses burned , their bodies ravaged or slain , their communities scattered and ruined on the pretext that one of them in some manner damaged a Qu’ran and so must deserve the absolute vengeance of all Muslims ? but ISIS can torch Muslim houses and houses of worship destroying countless Muslims and Qu’rans in the process and with a straight face still consider themselves non-infidels ! why does not the Supreme Leader of Iran or Saudi Arabia not condemn the torching of Qu’rans in the torching of Muslim buildings by Muslims ? but if a Presbyterian in Tehran had so much as cast a stone at a Qu’ran (let alone the Saudi Embassy) she would have hung from a tall post in the center of Tehran as the “Western infidel” and CounterPunch would have displayed twelve articles condemning her as a US agent of conspiratorial world domination for the US petro dollar !

This appears to be a micro war going on between the Shiite and Sunni Muslims. My question is how can we be allies with a country that still practices sharia law but yet go at war with others for their barbarism? (Sarcastically speaking) It surely couldn’t be because of money could it?

    In the Islamic civil war, please bear in mind that there is no “good guy/bad guy” dichotomy. Both Shia and Sunni Muslims are “bad guys”. It’s not zero sum and the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” does not apply. The most rational posture is “a pox on both your houses”, or as the Marines say: “Kill them all and let allah sort them out”. Semper fi !!!

      This is an “Alien vs. Predator” type of scenario. You are right–there are no good guys here.

    The line with a 10-out-of-10 on the “guffaw-meter” : “Saudi officials denied that sectarianism had played any role in the executions.”

    My Grandmother would warn, “Consider the source.”

    I wonder how Iran would react if all their embassies got attacked for all the Christians they have arrested, tortured and killed?

      @Vluk
      It’s “one drop of blood in the bucket” compared to the number of Christians tortured and murder by Sunni Muslims.
      Christians and non-Muslims murdered by Sunnis – 590,000,000
      Christians murdered by Shiites – 12,000

    I don’t think the Iranians will want to escalate this incident. I note the Police have arrested protesters at the Saudi Embassy, a sure sign the regime is clamping down. Iran will have a show down with the Saudis, but they will choose the moment.
    And despite the US arms Saudi Arabia has, the battle hardened Iranians would be a serious threat to the pampered Saudi military.
    Here’s a thought, would a Trump Administration run to the aid of Saudi Arabia if they faced an invasion from Iran?

    It’s Allahu Akbar against Allahu Akbar…Allah has lost control and is fighting itself…Will we see Sunni/Shia go after each other in theUS? Is any mosque safe? Karma is a btch, ain’t it? The ‘Pen of Desiney’, dint factor in karma…

      Swami, Muslims have already brought Sunni/Shia violence to Europe:

      http://www.infowars.com/as-illegal-immigrants-enter-europe-violence-increases/

      This is the biggest danger for us Infidels–that Muslims will increasingly bring their internecine savagery here to Dar-al-Harb.

    They deserve each other; two totalitarian states following the dictates of an anachronistic, fascist ideology. Their respective, differing interpretations of that fascist ideology is irrelevant. Both states have fomented and supported Islamic supremacism and jihadist terror around the world.

    Saudi officials denied that sectarianism had played any role in the executions.

    “This means that Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to punish all terrorists,” said Anwar Eshki, a retired major general in the Saudi Army who is the chairman of a research center in Jidda….

    Unless they promise to stay away from Saudi Arabia, in which case, they fund them.
