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

Iran’s Rouhani urges Muslims to disrupt “sinister plot” of Muslim countries’ “closeness to the Zionist regime”

Dec 5, 2017 8:32 am By Robert Spencer

As the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad heats up once again, the Saudis may be seeking a pragmatic relationship with Israel, and the Iranians, predictably, are enraged.

“Iran asks Muslims to disrupt Israeli ties in region,” by Parisa Hafezi, Reuters, December 5, 2017:

ANKARA – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani urged Muslims on Tuesday to disrupt what he called a plot by unnamed countries in the region to build ties with Israel.

He gave no more details on the states. But an Israeli cabinet minister said last month that his government had had covert contacts with Saudi Arabia linked to their common concerns over Tehran.

“Some regional Islamic countries have shamelessly revealed their closeness to the Zionist regime,” Rouhani said in a speech broadcast live by state TV.

“I am sure that the Muslims around the world will not let this sinister plot bear fruit.”

Both Saudi Arabia and Israel view Iran as the main threat to the Middle East. Increased tension between Tehran and Riyadh has fueled speculation that shared interests may push Saudi Arabia and Israel to work together.

The Saudis have not publicly responded to the reports and Riyadh maintains that any relations with Israel hinge on Israeli withdrawal from Arab lands captured in the 1967 Middle East war – territory Palestinians seek for a future state….

    It is no wonder they don’t love the Jews.

    allah’s “angel” is after all …

    “The angel jibreel is the enemy of the Jews”
    {Sahih al bukhari vol 4 bk 60 no 3329}

    I might be wrong{sarc} here but I think the islamic jibreel is not the same as the Angel Gabriel..

    {“God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in galilee called Nazareth.He had a message for a girl promised in marriage to a man called Joseph who was a descendant of King David”
    Luke 1 v 26-38}

    ..because you see Mary was…JEWISH.

    Is it likely that allah’s jibreel [who is defined as being “the ENEMY of the Jews”}would be the same angel as Gabriel who happily communicated with that young JEWISH woman,Mary?

    Is it likely that the Biblical(True)God of Moses would have in his employ such an “angel” as jibreel?

    jibreel:the weakest link.

    And I’m sorry but I find the idea of jibreel pretending to be the Angel Gabriel absolutely hilarious.

    Like allah(who never stops curses the Jews in his “perfect” koran)pretending so hard to be God and apparently not realizing that Moses…was a JEWISH prophet:muslims get around the JEWISHNESS of Moses and Jesus Christ…by claiming and pretending that in fact they were muslims.

    I don’t know history like many commentators here, but saudi arabia is Islamic so how does this help Israel other than it( Saudia Arabia) is an competitor with Iran….for the caliphate? They both have the same Quran and we all know what that means for non muslims especially Israel and the west. And we know how delusional it is to create a treaty with Islamic leaders also known as the non committed or known as commit until we don’t need to.

      You don’t have to instruct Israel on Muslim treachery.

      Israel and Saudi Arabia are obviously allies of convenience, although the incentives are powerful. Now, here’s a clue. If Iran would stop making threats against Israel, and lower the threat from Hezbollah rockets aimed at Israel, perhaps Israel and Iran could come to an accord also.

      Iran has to decide if it is going to bring the apocalypse and get the Mahdi out of the well, or if it’s going to settle into just being another country, with its leaders as worldly theocrats leading their lives of power and fame. When they look into the abyss, they may decide their earthly lives are not so cheap after all. This is what the Saudi leaders have decided. Israel may be a theological enemy, but in reality an alliance is very convenient in allowing the Saudi royal family to maintain their rule.

    Why is doing trade deals between Jews and Arabs a ‘sinister plot’. There is nothing in Islamic law that could remotely consider trading with Jews to be a ‘sinister plot’.

    To the contrary, Sharia law encourages fair dealing in business contracts.

    Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is so powerful he thinks he spontaneously say any outrageous remark at all without suffering consequences. His yearly financial income is said to be $75 million making him the highest paid politician. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, controls a business empire worth around $95 billion.

      My guess is that an arrangements between countries is a treaty and not a contract. Under Islamic law, there are no treaties but a “Hudna” which is not binding for more than 10 years. But, then again, Israel is perfectly aware of Islamic law. In fact, anyone who trusts a Muslim country to maintain a treaty or hudna or contract beyond the period when it is convenient to do so, is a chicken ripe for the plucking.

      It can be very valuable to have an understanding with a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia, as long as we view them as business associates and not as friends or allies.

    This what Iran mullahs were always doing: using Muslim Arabs for their own dirty politics. Who were 911 hijackers to the last man? Arabs. None were Iranians (Persians). And yet, Iran heavily was involved in the plotting, financially and otherwise, and thus USED dumb Arabs for their own advantage. Someone would thing that Sunni being in majority would be smarter that Shi’a and would not allow themselves to be so easily manipulated.

    Day by day the backwarded evil Saudi Royal family are being exposed as Zionists paying petrol dollars to fund terrorists to fight proxy war for fascist evil Zionist state of Israel and the evil United States supplying the arms. when the evil Saudi Royal family are sacked, the evil United States and evil Zionist state of Israhell must return the moneys to the original people of Hijaz.
