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

Iran decries “cowboy” Trump’s “ignorant hate speech” at UN

Sep 20, 2017 12:59 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic Republic of Iran and the international Left both term honest discussion of the jihad threat and determination to counter it “hate speech.”

“Iran Lashes Out at ‘Cowboy’ Trump After U.N. Speech,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, September 20, 2017:

Senior Iranian leaders verbally attacked President Donald Trump late Tuesday and early Wednesday following his first United Nations address, in which the U.S. president harshly criticized Iran for its support of global terror operations, according to regional reports….

In brief remarks to reporters following a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Trump said, “I have decided” on whether to designate Iran in violation of the nuclear deal, a move that would set the wheels in motion for the United States to leave the agreement and reimpose tough sanctions on Tehran.

When pressed on the issue, Trump smiled and said, “I’ll let you know what the decision is.”…

“We won’t chicken out for cowboy-like acts of Trump,” Brig. Gen. Seyyed Massoud Jazayeri, deputy chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, was quoted as saying on Tuesday in reaction to Trump’s U.N. speech, which singled out Iran and its nuclear program as a chief global threat.

Trump’s “remarks recount how the weak and incapable government of the U.S. has fallen in melancholy after keeping the dream of being the world’s superpower,” Jazayeri was quoted as saying in Iran’s state-controlled media….

“For facing a country whose president overtly and blatantly shouts at the lectern of the U.N. that it would ‘totally destroy’ with its military power, no option is left but to strengthen the defensive infrastructures,” he said.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani offered similar remarks, telling reporters that Iran would “be victorious” in any outcome, even if Trump moves to end the nuclear agreement.

“Iran will be victorious, regardless of what happens” with the nuclear deal, Rouhani said. “If the U.S. backs out of the deal, they will suffer loss and if they remain committed, they will sow benefits. We are ready for any situation and there is no obstacle to our advance toward our objectives.”

Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, said that Iran is already moving to enhance its military capabilities and face down the United States.

“Time is now ripe for correcting the U.S. miscalculations,” Jafari was quoted as saying after Trump’s speech. “Now that the U.S. has fully displayed its nature, the government should use all its options to defend the Iranian nation’s interests.”

“Taking a decisive position against Trump is just the start and what is strategically important is that the U.S. should witness more painful responses in the actions, behavior, and decisions that Iran will take in the next few months,” he said….

“A person who takes the presidential office with deception and undemocratic behavior, will be unable to differentiate between delivering speech in the United Nations from the rough American football.” Hamid Aboutalebi, a senior Rohani [sic] aide tweeted.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, the main official who helped cement the nuclear agreement, described Trump’s remarks as “ignorant hate speech” on his Twitter feed.

    Iran obviously wants a nuclear war, they have to be deprived of all nukes. Iran is clearly an outcast.

    • rufluc says

      Sep 20, 2017 at 5:25 pm

      Of course they want a nuclear war! They’re Muslims. People who do not value their own lives because the medieval fools believe the mutterings of a 6th century schizophrenic war mongering, murdering paedophile, who tells them 72 virgins await all those who give their lives to ‘the cause’ of world Islamic domination.. This is the mentality we are dealing with.

      Everything they do and say has lies and deception intertwined with a little truth. This is how they operate. They are never to be trusted. They are allowed to do this according to the teachings of the Quran, if it helps further the spread of Islam. And although Obama knew this as a closet Muslim, he still went ahead with ‘the deal’ and swallowed their lies hook, line and sinker! In fact it could be argued he did this intentionally to further the cause of Islam. Think about it for a moment. It may not be as daft as it sounds.
      Now the truth is starting to filter out of Iran where evidence is beginning to show that they have not kept to the conditions of the agreement. So they start with their fabricated anti Trump rhetoric by claiming his speech was full of hate, when clearly it was not!! Supposedly then giving them a justified reason to follow a nuclear deterent option. A deterent that of course could easily be used against their sworn enemy. Israel!
      If this is allowed to continue, we’ll be having another ‘rocket man’ problem in the middle east!

        You are correct, it certainly isn’t as daft as it sounds. When one stops to consider the comment of Obama’s where he said: “The future does not belong to those who mock the prophet of Islam”. That may not be verbatim but would be very close to Obama’s words. This told me, and I’m sure many others, that Obama is not just a *closet* Muslim but a dyed in the wool Muslim. There is no doubt, in my mind at least, his policies regarding migration etc have encouraged the abysmal behaviour of the Islamic populations of the West and Europe today

    HATE SPEECH? I love it! Let’s talk about ISLAMIC HATE SPEECH… AL Walaa wal Baraa!

    -from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”

    -from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”

    -from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”

    -from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
    (Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)

    -from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”

      What has the Iranian government said that is not enscribed by, Ali Khamenei’s “Yes, Death to America”? All of their recent rhetoric is just noise.

      North Korea and Iran pose a limited number of choices to the US.

      1. Ignore them until there is no option but nuclear war. (run out the clock)

      2. Spend our citizens in unending, fruitless, limited ground war to buy time. (tie up their resources)

      3. Accept the pariah label for killing millions, and if necessary, with nuclear weapons. (Remove their leaders by force and dissolve their armies)

      Option 3 is most likely to succeed in North Korea, after the model of rebuilding Japan. This has only been successful in hierarchical societies like Germany and Japan.

      Most Islamic societies are tribal with few loyalties – leading an Islamic society is more like hearding cats. Though Iran might be defeated and freedom returned to the people, Islam will stop any unity or even appreciation for government. Rebuilding the country would be too dangerous for outsiders as we have seen in Iraq and Aghanistan.

      There may be no workable solution to Iran’s developing nuclear weapons, other than the unthinkable.

    I wonder if Rocket Man has managed to complete any new sales to them? He needs the money, and thanks to that Obamamoney, Iran has the cash. Come to think of it, Obama is also responsible for Rocket Man having the time and cowardice he needed to get where he is. Thanks, Obama!

    President Trump didn’t engage in “hate speech” when he stated the facts of reality about that awful “deal” with Iran First , all the real hate speech come from the mullahs and other in this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran. it’s the mullahs and ayatollahs and othera in this Islamic tyranny keep speaking to the Iranian people hate towards to Christians and Jews. and hate for the The USA which they call “the Great Satan” and hate for the State of Israel which they call “The little Satan.”.

    Second, about Iran going nuclear , even the very idea of any-kind of “agreement deal” of any value or worth withe officials of the mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other fiendish and insidious Muslims in power in the heinous Islamic regime of Iran is both foolishness and folly.

    Third,those mullahs and ayatollahs in Iran with their falsehoods and deceptions of the many false doctrines of Islam in which they brainwash the Iranian people in believing is something that is both sad and tragic. Those ayatollahs and mullahs are, no doubt, just as deluded as the people who they thoroughly indoctrinate with false teachings of Islam. Of such demonic deception by false teachers who are also deluded such men a have been predicted in the Bible. For in the Bible it’s written that “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.” Second Timothy 3:13. [K.J.V.] All those mullahs and ayatollahs are, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. false religious teachers .Meaning false teacher s who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others . Such false teachers are described in the Bible ,in Second Peter 2:1. “There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
    Therefore, to reply to the many different claims made by the imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam there is the Christian internet site. It’s http://www.answering-islam.org
    In addition, it should be make clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being ,as the destruction of well- being . That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.

    Let’s see . . . different reactions from Iran and Israel. What a surprise!

    Leftists here will line up to betray our country and values.

    The Iranian mullahs play TAQIYYA. However, Americans play POKER. Poker trumps taqiyya. Why?

    Because poker is based on MATHEMATICAL SCIENCE, that’s why.

    A poker player COUNTS THE CARDS and determines the odds. A taqiyya artists is just seeing how much he can cheat. The Iranian cheaters have been caught and Trump NAMED THEIR GAME in his speech.

    They are finished and humiliated before the world.

    A country that continually threatens to destroy Israel is concerned about “hate speech”? Imagine that!

    Interesting to see that Diane Feinstein is in perfect agreement here with the Iranians.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 20, 2017 at 4:15 pm

      Even she is not enough for the hard Left. Feinstein recently said that she hoped that Trump would become a good president–never mind that this obviously implies that her current opinion of him is very low. The hard Left is now howling for her blood, and screaming that she should not be allowed to run again.
