If true, this is ridiculous, an attempt by the Islamic regime to find a fall guy. Ahmadinejad was always a true believer, an Islamic hardliner, whose blood bled for Khomeini and Khamenei. It hasn’t been Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inciting the Iranian people to chant that they don’t want an Islamic Republic and to praise Reza Shah. But it is a certain kind of poetic justice that the regime that this man served so indefatigably and ruthlessly has now turned its fury upon one of its fiercest defenders.
“Report: Ex-Iranian president Ahmadinejad arrested for inciting unrest,” Times of Israel, January 6, 2018:
Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been arrested by authorities for allegedly inciting unrest against the government, the London-based daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported Saturday, citing “reliable sources in Tehran.”
The newspaper said that Ahmadinejad, during a visit to the western city of Bushehr on December 28, said, “Some of the current leaders live detached from the problems and concerns of the people, and do not know anything about the reality of society.”
He supposedly added that Iran was suffering from “mismanagement” and that the government of President Hassan Rouhani “believes that they own the land and that the people are an ignorant society.”
According to Al-Quds Al-Arabi, Ahmadinejad’s comments, which came as anti-government protests over the economy were heating up, led to his arrest.
The newspaper said authorities now seek to impose house arrest on the former president….
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
The answer is clear in support of what i have been saying that protest arose from disatisfaction with certain current governments policies deviating from the tenets of Islamic révolution to ensure social justice and economic développement, not against Islamic révolution itself.savage mad devil Trump has just been misleading Americans relying on incompetent CIA.CIA cannot penetrate into Iran no matter how they try unlike in olden days when they unmonitored agents. Now, Iran has the technology to monitor all saboteurs, whether CIA agents or that of MOSSAD of evil zionist state of Israel. The CIA agents were identified from the start and arrested.what remains now for devil Trump is to demand for their release, which he knows Will never be granted.

Utter bollocks, as usual, from an utter nutter.

Ibrahim, they have said they don’t want an ISLAMIC republic. ISLAM IS FINISHED. Your nightmarish Death Cult is now finished.
Trevor Bailey says
Bull shitter, as usual.
LeftisruiningCanada says
But i just read you saying that the West is responsible for installing the leadership of all muslim countries…..
Which is it Ibrahim? Either the West is so powerful that it can dictate the leaders for 57 countries, or it’s so incompetent that they can’t even physically gain access to a place like Iran.
elee says
Never mind this western kafir invention of “logic.” Go read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Any number of Muslim governments kindly print this document and distribute it, and otherwise intelligent Muslims (are required by their barbarous cult to) (pretend to or actually) believe it. Oh and haven’t you kept up with academic chic? If you had letters after your name you’d realize that “truth” is also an obsolete kafir concept.
LeftisruiningCanada says
But muslims invented logic and philosophy aaaargh i’m so confused
let’s just blame the Jews, it’s so much easier.
Buraq says
@ Ibrahim itace muhammed
You’re a clown! Islam is a form of slavery; no one is allowed to leave, on pain of death. They are shackled for life. That’s the root of the dissatisfaction. Iranians want to be free. So, Ahmadinejihad is the fall guy, so what. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
Dump Islam, Ibrahim, take control of your life. Break your chains!
LeftisruiningCanada says
Good point.
Ibrahim, do you believe in the death penalty for leaving Islam?
What about saying mean things about mohammad….or drawing his picture?

Wait–didn’t Ibrahim itace muhammed claim that there were no actual Iranians protesting, but that they were all just CIA and Mossad agents?
Now he’s claiming it was because the hideous Shari’ah regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran is not Islamic *enough*?

How does this even make any sense? How can the protesters *both* be pious Muslims demanding more and more brutal Shari’ah law, *and* CIA agents out to destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran?
This is what happens when Muslims reject reason, as their creed demands.
And his claim about Iran having arrested CIA agents is absurd, in any case–but, as good Muslim, Ibrahim itace muhammed does not believe he ever has to offer any proof.
Matthieu Baudin says
Ibrahim, the offer of a beer sometime still remains. We could talk over all of this stuff and have a few laughs along the way.
mortimer says
It is just for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be jailed for his crimes. The other arch-criminals should also be judged and tried in courts of law and given the life sentences all the top mullahs so richly deserve.
gravenimage says
But Ahmadinejad is *not* being jailed for his crimes, Mortimer. This is just another instance of Islam eating its own.
Don McKellar says
It couldn’t happen to a nicer monkey-man.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Years ago Mahmoud addressed a hall of students at a university in Tehran. He related to the eager students his dream of obtaining a nuclear weapon, putting it on a SCUD missile, having a Persian crew put the missile on a freighter, sailing the freighter to the somewhere off the Carolinas, launching it, and detonating it somewhere over PA or OH to release an EMP blast downward.
If old Mahmoud is a Persian freedom fighter, we don’t have much to look forward to from the Twelver cohort.
Voytek Gagalka says
That reminds me of vast prosecution of hard-core believers in communism during Stalinist purges on late 1930s. We don’t have of course any proof (since they were eliminated), only suspicion, that many of those prosecuted were as much true believers as Stalin himself and if they would substitute him they wouldn’t be as bloody as he was. As far as Ahmadinejad is concerned, that might be purely private and desperate attempt to score some points with current regime: they ousted him from office, did they not? No wonder he may feel some resentment toward them.

Just using the situation to clear up a few loose ends?
gravenimage says
Yep. Of course, the claim that Ahmadinejad was working with the protesters is probably trumped up. It seems damned unlikely.
Kevin Timothy OKANE says
Ahmadinejad lost favor with the regime after advocating going back to the Shia tradition that the civil government should be ruled by non-clergy. That of course would paveed the way for himself rising as Supreme Leader.
WorkingClassPost says
He seems to have forgotten one of islam’s golden rules.
Criticism will not be tolerated.
Darryl Kerney says
Indeed !
Ironic that they arrested a guy who deserves it, for the exact opposite reason why he deserves it….
elee says
The Prophet never said they had to kill all the kafirs before starting in on apostates. And the Believers have not stayed their bloody hands! Allahu akbar.
Darryl Kerney says
the simple fact is that any who leave or reject islam are targets, with jihad as the motivation.
Sarah says
Well said, Jay.
Sarah says
Loyalty isn’t really a thing, in Islam.
Muslims show unquestioning obedience, they can also show meek subservience, but loyalty – not a chance stinky pants. Islam has a toxic streak of selfishness throughout it.
So Mr AbbadabbaWingWong, may have been an obedient and subservient leader – at least, obedient and subservient to his Mullah masters, anyway, but that won’t save him now.
Islam is the snake that is forever consuming itself.
gravenimage says
All spot on, Sarah.
shoehorn says
Who would have thought, Armadajihad eh? So all them foreigners had ought to do with it?
gravenimage says
I would not take this at face value, shoehorn. Besides, the Mullahs will probably say that Ahmadinejad was working with all them foreigners–especially Americans and Israelis.

Iran: Former President Ahmadinejad reportedly arrested for inciting unrest against Islamic regime
………………..
Well, this is just bizarre. Ahmadinejad has always been an Islamic hardliner.
What is going on here? I know despite this he had a lot of enemies in the regime–mostly over matters of class and influence, not adherence to Islam. Did they just figure this was a good time to arrest him, while there is so much chaos?
It hardly seems likely that he was actually involved with the protesters.
gravenimage says
This is like the Nazis turning on the Brown Shirts…
jack cade says
Give him a fair trial then, behead him.
Jay says
Ahmadinejad is just being used as a scapegoat for the Ayatollahs, although I believe the most he will get will be house arrest.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… The newspaper said authorities now seek to impose house arrest on the former president….”
House Arrest – luxury! The 3,000 young people now in custody for protesting against the regime are likely to be treated quite brutally and sadistically if past behaviour is repeated. President Rouhani can take this opportunity to demonstrate that he is a leader which disaffected Iranians can negotiate with, by putting a clamp on the notoriously excessive punishment regularly meted out by prison authorities.
