Not that this has anything to do with…you know.
The hatred of the Jews and the Islamic imperative to “drive them out from where they drove you out” (Qur’an 2:191) trumps even Sunni-Shia enmity.
“Iran to renew financial support for Islamic Jihad after two-year hiatus,” by Maayan Groisman, Jerusalem Post, May 25, 2016:
After a two-year cessation, Iran is attempting to bring Islamic Jihad back into its fold by renewing financial support for the Palestinian terror organization, sources affiliated with the organization told the London-based daily Arab newspaper a-Sharq al-Awsat on Wednesday.
Iran’s decision to re-embrace Islamic Jihad after two years of strained relations, came following a visit to Iran in April by a high-level delegation from the organization, led by Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah.
During his meetings with senior Iranian leaders and the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force Qassem Suleimani, Shalah lauded Iran for its exclusive support for the “Palestinian intifada.”
“The defense of Palestine amounts to a defense of Islam,” Shalah said then, adding that: “The Arab states did not support the popular uprising in Palestine and will never support it since it contradicts their leaders’ agendas. Iran is the only state that supports the intifada and the martyrs’ families.”
According to the sources affiliated with the Islamic Jihad, Iran viewed this statement as a renewed pledge of allegiance by the organization to the state.
The major part of Iran’s new vision for the Palestinian terror organization was Suleimani’s decision to conduct a reshuffle in the organization’s military wing, the Quds Brigades, by appointing Khaled Mansour as the brigades’ commander.
Mansour, a crony of the Iranian leadership, is one of the senior commanders of the Quds Brigades and he is highly regarded in the Islamic Jihad….

Iran is a Target of ISIS. How best to deter attacks than support ISIS in their Jihad. Problem is one Jihad is not another’s, they are as different as the shoes I wear.
I know many Persians. They are very well educated, worldly and freedom loving individuals. Those in Iran are presently being oppressed by their Mullah lead Dictatorship. While they may distrust and even hate Jews, Westerners and Modernists they hate their leaders more.
Keys says
They should hate their leaders most, becausevtheir current leaders are going to get them all nuked.
linnte says
That’s true Keys. And while the nukers are at it, could they veer off and drop a tiny one on Mecca?

There’s a lot of talk about oil being priced too low, but a few strong words from the WH about renewing sanctions would probably fix that PDQ.

I hope the day comes that Persian women are revealed. ancient people with culture but Islam has submitted to obscurantism. ..and Persian women are beautiful 🙂 , by contrast Maghrebi women ( Sunni ..puajjj ) Islamists plus fans are horrible. Maghrebi women wear veil to distinguish from male .
Jay Boo says
Persian versus Maghrebi ?
The problem with Islam is not about race.
Charli Main says
All the problems of the Middle East would be solved, if all the Muslims illegally occupying Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and the Lebanon XXXXXX off back to Saudi Arabia, where their invader ancestors came from.
Will Doohan says
“And drive them out of the land that they once drove you out of” – Using this precept, the West has the Moral right to drive the Muslims out of all of Northern Africa.
Jay Boo says
The West has the Moral right to drive the Islam out of planet earth.
