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

Iran’s supreme leader slams American elections

Oct 19, 2016 8:56 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

A regime that commits the worst human rights abuses and that “refuses to live by the rules of civilized diplomatic practice”, and whose “behavior has gotten worse”:

The Islamic Republic still sees the invasion of embassies as an acceptable political tool.

Yet this ignoble regime has the audacity to weigh in on the American elections…..

“Iran’s supreme leader slams US election”, By Mallory Shelbourne, The Hill, October 19, 2016:

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, took to Twitter on Wednesday to slam the U.S. presidential campaign.

Khamenei said the race and the issues being discussed were the “typical result of lack of spirituality & faith among those in power.” He used the popular #debate hashtag and in a second tweet also went after the U.S. media.

“One of the 2 main US presidential candidates will lead a country which has power, wealth & highest number of nukes & world’s biggest media!” he added.

One of the 2 main US presidential candidates will lead a country which has power, wealth & highest number of nukes & world’s biggest media!
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) October 19, 2016

Khamenei has weighed in on U.S. politics before, tweeting multiple times in 2014 about race relations in America.

Today like previous years, African-Americans are still under pressure, oppressed and subjected to discrimination. #Ferguson

    In the West, we separate church and state. Apparently that fact was lost on Khamenei. What’s he doing sticking his nose into the American election? Doesn’t he have a wife to beat?

    We have some common national religions that embrace all of our other religions, Ayatollah, old boy. Sadly, we can’t make your unhappy, joyless, music-less religion work with it, because it is too inflexible and depressing.

    The name of our common religions are “pragmatism”, “Freedom”, and “Democracy”. Under them, most of our population enjoys prosperity and a reasonable but not absolute morality, unlike your mess, where religious police turn citizens in to serfs and productivity slows, bereft of new thinking.

    That beard looks like an outstanding toilet brush. May it soon find indiscriminant use at the hands of your own subjugated people.

      I like that so much, I hope you don’t mind but, I’m just going to have to add THAT to my vocabulary!

    This islamonazi is actually correct. America and its media elite are a disgrace.

    Islam — (lacks spirituality and faith)

    It offers instead — fear and hate, mindless anal-retentive rituals, disgraceful dogma, and a sociopathic pervert on a flying donkey chasing after 72 (black-eyed virgins).

    Maybe if Islam were not so misogynic, Muslim men would not be so perversely attracted attracted those beat down virgins with black-eyes.

    Off Topic

    All eyes on Mosul — and (pumping up Hillary image).

    Meanwhile:
    Our NATO Ally is bombing enemies of ISIS
    No doubt with two-faced Obama’s approval.
    Even Huff Post reporting on it.

      The same leftist communist Kurdish YPG-PKK SDF who you were whining earlier when Obama was arming them?

      • Angemon says

        Oct 21, 2016 at 6:59 am

        Citation needed – did JB “whine” about Obama arming them or is it just another of your recurring fibs? You know, as when you go about saying “rawr, rawr, people here are against communists but support kurdish fighting ISIS” – as if somehow the people suggesting supporting one of their supposed enemies to fight another is a bad idea per se.

    Yet this ignoble regime has the audacity to weigh in on the American elections

    It’s not the only one to do so – Putin recently stated that if Hillary won there would be war.

    Why are these hairy guys always complaining? Here we have the election being rigged to put in the person who got him everything he needs for the Jihad and world takeover, and he’s unhappy. The scary thing about Moslems is that, once they take over, then what?

    Who on EARTH would give a “darn” what some butt-wipe in a turbun had to say about ANYTHING ? ? ? ?
    And, since when is it even “News” ?
    I have plenty to say! On almost every subject. BUT, alas, no one is waiting with any eagerness to hear.
    I’m still hopefully expecting that, during development, the Iranians A-Bomb just “goes off” sort of by accident.
    Then we can broadcast this critters “last words”
    Opps!

    No matter who becomes President of Iran, the Mullahs still have the last word on Iran’s policies. That is hardly a democratic process. One of the first things Khomeini did once he returned to Iran from Parisian exile with the help and support of Jimmy Carter, was to reinstitute polygamy and marry a 12 year old girl, which he considered a “Divine blessing.” He directed all fathers of girls to be sure that their “First blood” did not take place in their father’s house, but in the house of their “Husbands.” Islam is all about sex. There are few verses in the Koran which do not mention or have sex as the goal, even in their heaven where 72 virgins await the pleasure of these filthy old hairy men with few teeth and bad breath.

    “Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell and…..” Hillary Clinton has her Huma. who will, IMO be Hillary’s and the US’s downfall to Islam if she does not “Profit by their example.” I do not understand how any country’s citizens would vote for their own suicide, but that is what is happening with each vote for Hillary Clinton.

    Iran took two more hostages as Obama leaves office just to embarrass out dimwit.
