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

Trump follows through, new sanctions on Islamic Republic of Iran began at midnight

Aug 7, 2018 3:31 pm By Robert Spencer

The mullahs are already feeling the heat, with people protesting all over Iran against the regime for spending its Obama billions on jihad terror groups instead of on improvements at home. These new sanctions could push that rogue regime over the edge.

“TRUMP FOLLOWS THROUGH: Sanctions On Iran Begin At Midnight,” by Hank Berrien, Daily Wire, August 6, 2018:

On Monday, the Trump administration announced that the sanctions on Iran that were lifted by the 2015 nuclear accord will be reimposed starting at midnight.

President Trump stated, “The United States is fully committed to enforcing all of our sanctions, and we will work closely with nations conducting business with Iran to ensure complete compliance. Individuals or entities that fail to wind down activities with Iran risk severe consequences,” Trump said in a statement Monday.

Trump added, “The JCPOA, a horrible, one-sided deal, failed to achieve the fundamental objective of blocking all paths to an Iranian nuclear bomb, and it threw a lifeline of cash to a murderous dictatorship that has continued to spread bloodshed, violence, and chaos.”

Trump stated he is still willing to meet with Iran’s leaders, asserting, “As we continue applying maximum economic pressure on the Iranian regime, I remain open to reaching a more comprehensive deal that addresses the full range of the regime’s malign activities, including its ballistic missile program and its support for terrorism. The United States welcomes the partnership of like-minded nations in these efforts.”

The Washington Post reported that starting at midnight, “Iran will be prohibited from using U.S. dollars, the primary currency or international financial transactions and oil purchases.” The Post added, “U.S. officials have advised governments around the world to begin winding down their purchases of Iranian oil, eventually to zero, to starve Tehran of its chief source of foreign income.”

As The Hill noted, “The sanctions that will come back into effect after midnight target transactions with U.S. dollar banknotes; trade in gold and precious metals; direct or indirect sales of graphite and metals such as steel and aluminum; certain transactions related to the Iranian rial; certain transactions related to issuing Iranian sovereign debt; and Iran’s automotive sector.”…

      Yes, bravo for Trump and SKUNK CABBAGE to those countries that trade with Iran’s dictators and prop them up.

      If the world cooperated, we could bring down ALL DICTATORSHIPS and the world would become democratic and wars would be reduced to the smallest number in history.

      Truly democratic and free countries do not go to war with one another because they NEGOTIATE.

          Note that Christianblood considers the free West to be a “satanic bully” for not sucking up to the sanguinary Mullahs.

          He has lauded their imposition of Shari’ah as “resistance” against America, including such horrors as hanging gay people and stoning women to death.

          He has even condoned their persecution of Christians, saying that any Christians so targeted must be “American spies” for practicing their faith.

          It is hard to believe that Christianblood used to be an Anti-Jihadist–now he spends most of this time here applauding Iran and Hizb’allah. *Ugh*.

    As for the current economic sanctions that are being held against that Islamic tyranny of Iran which so inappropriately has the word “Republic” in its title. America’s National Security Adviser, John Bolton, had said that goal of the sanctions is not to make a “regime chance” but to cause charge for the better in the actions and polices by the heads of state in Iran . The reality is a goal for the better by those Muslim tyrants in their actions and polices, of any way of actual value, is completely unrealistic. For mullahs and the others in power in Iran are so thoroughly deceitful, demonic, wicked, vicious and cruel that they will not change their malicious ways. As explain in the Bible “What is crooked cannot be straightened; which is lacking cannot be counted.” Ecclesiastes 1:15. [N.I.V.] Indeed, those malice -filled and hateful Muslim clerics who have much power in Iran along with the other Islamic stooges who rule Iran “cannot be counted” to make any chances for the better . The ayatollahs and mullahs in their likeminded Muslim partners in total governmental control of Iran are murderous hers ruthless and oppressive to the Iranian people who are trapped in forced to existed in this diabolical Islamic regime. As it is written in Proverbs 15:15. “All the days of the oppressed are wretched.” Likewise, Ecclesiastes 4:1 reads “ I saw the tears of the oppressed – and they have no comforter; power was in the side of the oppressors …” Furthermore ,Proverbs 28:15 very well describes such wicked characters who rule Iran as president Rouhani and ayatollah Khamenei . For it reads “Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.” Furthermore, such a vicious mindset of heinous arrogance of Rouhani, Khamenei and the other hateful and spiteful Islamic clerics in this “mullah regime” of Iran is reflected in the words from the Bible describing tyrannical villains in power of an oppressive regime. For Psalm 73:6—9 read “Therefore pride is their necklace:: they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil ;their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.”

      Walter sieruk, your rubbish mithraist Bible is the source of all evils like genocide, colonisations or neoconisation and deprivations of other nations, extermination of the original inhabitants of Americas and destruction of other nations to cause miseries. This is exactly what evil United States has been doing. so, savage mad devil Trump is worse than Iranian leaders.

        Hilarious!

        Your own koran disagrees with you about what you say concerning the Bible.It completely contradicts what you are saying.

        If the Bible is the “source of all evils” as you claim then explain WHY allah tells muhammed he must consult it for reference?if it is “rubbish” then why does allah appear to think otherwise?

        Clearly you disagree with your god allah!

        You keep shooting yourself in the foot.

        “And if thou muhammed art in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto thee,then question those who read the scripture that was before thee”
        koran 10:94-95

        That scripture “allah” is talking about?

        The…Bible.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 7, 2018 at 6:30 pm

          Yes and no, FYI. The “Bible” that Muslims believe in is an ugly fantasy version that in no way contradicts the vicious Qur’an, and does not include such matters as the Golden Rule or Jesus dying for our sins.

          This is because Muslims believe that Jews and Christians “corrupted” the Torah and the Gospels. Never mind that there is absolutely no historical or archaeological basis for this belief.

        ……………………………

        Let’s parse this, shall we? Ibrahim itace muhmmed has said that acting to keep Jihadists out of the US is “genocide” against Muslims. and that our not allowing Muslims to enslave us is “deprivations” and “international brigandage”.

        And he has no concerns over native Americans–he would have considered them “filthy pagans” (his term for Hindus) and he would have wanted to see them all enslaved or slaughtered. He is just hoping to whip up unearned guilt in modern Americans so that we will roll over for Islamic conquest.

        More:

        He means here that stopping Jihadists murdering us and not handing over tribute money to the Mullahs is worse than hanging gay people and stoning women to death–and he believes it. *Ugh*.

        Ibrahim, MUSLIMS exterminated many of the ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF MOST ISLAMIC COUNTRIES, did they not.

        60 million Christians murdered by jihad, 80 million Hindus murdered by jihad, 120 Africans murdered by the ISLAMIC SLAVE TRADE.

        And Ibrahim, your ancestors were WOMEN SLAVES RAPED BY MUSLIM ARABS, were they not?

        You proud of that?

        Aug 7, 2018 at 7:15 pm

        Ibrahim you disagree with Mohammed who believed in the Bible between his hands.

        Here are some issues for Muslims to ponder while reading the Quran:
        1) The Quran says it confirms the Bible.
        -Suras 2:97, 2:101 and 6:92 all agree that the Quran “confirms what is between his two hands.” So, the Quran ‘confirms’ the Bible text that existed at the time of Muhammad and which was ‘in his hands’.

        2) Allah orders Muslims to use the Bible to check if a revelation is from God.
        -Sura 10:94 “If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from your Lord (Quran), then ask those who read the previous scripture (Bible).” Sura 10:94 implies that the Bible doctrines are correct and that Muslims should ask Bible-believers to confirm the Quran. In fact, Bible teachings refute the Quran; Bible-believers do not confirm the Quran, but refute it. We all see that Sura 10:94 is not true.

        3) Allah says the Torah is as good as Muhammad’s judgment.
        -Sura 5:43 “Why do they ask you (Muhammad) to judge among them (the Jews), when they have the Torah, containing GOD’s law?” The Quran implies that the Old Testament text of that time is correct.

        4) Allah says we have no ground to stand on without the Torah and Gospel.
        -Sura 5:68 “O people of the scripture, you have no ground to stand on until you uphold the Torah, and the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you (in Jewish and Christian tradition) by your Lord.” The Quran implies the OT and NT and even Jewish and Christian traditions at that time are correct.

        5) The Torah makes things clear and the Gospel confirms the truth of the Torah.
        -Sura 37:117 “And We gave [Moses] the Book which helps to MAKE THINGS CLEAR.”
        -Sura 5:46 “Subsequent to them, We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, CONFIRMING THE PREVIOUS SCRIPTURES (the Torah). WE GAVE HIM THE GOSPEL, containing guidance and light, and CONFIRMING the previous scriptures.” The Quran says that the Gospel confirms the truth of the Old Testament. Thus, the Quran implies that the New Testament (NT) text is also true and correct. So, the OT text at Muhammad’s time is Allah’s light which ‘makes things clear’. The NT also contains Allah’s ‘light’.

        6) Muslims are not allowed to believe in some scriptures of Allah while disbelieving in others.
        -Sura 4:150-1 says that “the real disbelievers” are 1) those who “DISBELIEVE in God and His MESSENGERS” [note the plural of ‘messengers’], 2) “seek to make distinction among GOD and His messengers”, 3) say, “We believe in SOME and REJECT SOME,” and 4) “wish to follow a path in between.” Sura 8.55 says kafirs are the ‘worst of creatures’. So Muslims who disbelieve or reject the Bible are actually called ‘willful disbelievers’ or ‘kafiroon’ who are hated by Allah.

        7) The ‘true believers’ are those who believe in the Bible or they are ‘defiantly disobedient’.
        -Suras 5:44 to 5:47 talk about the Torah and the Gospel. Three times in this context, the Quran says, “And whoever judges not by that which GOD has sent down, it is [they] who are the disbelievers (kafiroon)”. These suras refer to Bible scriptures that were “sent down” by Allah. Sura 5:48 says that the Quran is sent to “confirm what is between his two hands”, that is, the existing Torah and Gospel, but we all see that is false. The Quran doesn’t ‘confirm’ the Bible, but contradicts it.
        -Sura 2:136 “Say, We believe in GOD, and in what was sent down to us, and IN WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO ABRAHAM, ISMAIL, ISAAC, JACOB, and the PATRIARCHS and in what was given to MOSES and JESUS, and ALL THE PROPHETS from their Lord. We make no distinction among any of them.” Also Sura 4:163 says, “WE GAVE David the Psalms.” Sura 2:136 says the Bible is Allah’s words sent by Allah.
        -Sura 3:93 “Bring, then, the Torah and READ IT, if you are truthful.” S. 3:93 implies the Torah is correct.
        -Sura 4:136 “O you who believe, YOU SHALL BELIEVE in GOD and His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed through His messenger, AND THE SCRIPTURE HE HAS REVEALED BEFORE that.”
        -Sura 29:46 “We believe in what was revealed to us and in WHAT WAS REVEALED TO YOU, and our God and your God is one and the same; to Him we are submitters.” Muslims are told to believe the Bible.
        -Sura 5:47 “The people of the Gospel shall rule in accordance with GOD’s REVELATIONS THEREIN. Those who do not rule in accordance with GOD’s REVELATIONS are defiantly disobedient (‘fasiqoon’).”
        Christians must believe in the Bible of Muhammad’s time or they are defiantly disobedient (‘fasiqoon’).

        8) Muslims must believe in the Bible to have a firm faith in the afterlife.
        -Sura 2:4 says that to have “firm faith in the hereafter” Muslims must “believe in what was revealed to [Muhammad], and BELIEVE IN WHAT WAS REVEALED BEFORE [Bible]”. To go to paradise, Muslims must believe in the truth of the Bible.

        How is this so Ibrahim? The Mithraist Bible would suggest that the present Qur’an has referenced wrongly. Indeed, Allah would be guilty of severe revision to make the Qur’an relevant. Since Allah has recommended the scripture of the people of the book thus any violent or strange behavior exhibit by Muslims is the sole construct of Allah’s intention, By extension all killings, jihad, genital mutilation, taqiyya, child brides, talaq… is a product of the venerable Qur’an. Even if Christians are guilty of severe pogroms, colonialism, slavery…it does not follow that YHWH prescribed such outcomes. In fact, Israelites were at times severely punished by God- he was\is a good parent. Therefore, he does not condone, like Allah, that others should be endlessly culled…I would exhort you in defense of your faith to steer away from ad hominem remarks and apologetics, instead criticism, highlight the excesses of Islam as it occurs; it will endear you and Islam to non-Muslims

        To Ibrahin Itace Muhammad , First Thank you for responding to my posting.. Second, about the history of the colonization of America and the ruthless extermination of a large number of natives of this land .That of course was terrible awful and wrong. it was a sin that sin was outcome of people who were not following the teachings of Jesus ,as found in the Bible in Matthew 5:7-9. Some of them might have said that they were “Christians” but by their action only proved that they spoke only empty words in when they said the were “Christians.” They had proven by their actions.by going against the teaching of Jesus.. By contrast jihadist violence is ,as you may well know is upheld by the Qu ran. 9:5, 11, 47: Third, many time the US government does not have wise policies but policies of folly. As seen in Iraq. . nevertheless many of the American government officials in power have foolish polices for they are not real Christians and they don’t read let alone study t the Bible.

        Ibrahim,

        I have some suggestions for self-improvement:

        Take a course in English grammar.

        Use a spellchecker on your postings.

        Use evidence-based logic in your postings.

        Your postings also suggest that you are angry and unhappy. This is at least partly due to your Islamic faith. You would undoubtedly feel a lot better if you left this religion entirely. At the very least, try it for a month and see how you feel. What do you have to lose?

        It takes space because you wrote it to take maximum space. You even listed all those that were responses to attacks on US citizens as if it was the reverse. Pure dishonest intent.

        You forgot to list the war coming when Iran attacks shipping in the Gulfs and its economy and military are destroyed by a coalition now forming, led by the Saudis. Call it the war of 2019.

          In its 1400 years followers of Islam murdered 270 million human beings! Since 1945 alone, America’s wars, bombings, sanctions and invasions took out about 10 million mostly civilians, majority of them Vietnamese, North Koreans and Iraqis! More on the link below:

    The false teachers of Iran who are the mullahs and ayatollahs of that Islamic regime do their very deceitful best to thoroughly indoctrinate and brainwash the false teaching of Islam into the hearts and minds of the Iranian people
    For Islam denies of the Bible’s doctrines of and about the actual nature of Jesus is blasphemous. For Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. That is the Son of God the Father. Likewise, Islam denies the Jesus is God the Son. What blasphemy! For the Bible does, indeed, teach that Jesus is the Son of God, Matthew 3:16,17. First John 2:22 23. As well as hat Jesus is God the Son, Hebrews 1:8. First John 5:20. As a former Muslim who is now a Christian had explained “In the Son, the real issue of belief is certainty entering the Kingdom of heaven in the life and the full Deity of God lives in Him. He therefore is able to transfer people to the heavenly kingdom and unite them with God.” [1] The last three words, “them with God” meaning God the Father. The Bible confirms this about the Deity of the Son. The Bible teaches “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” Colossians 2:9. [N.I.V.] Therefore, in the Light of the Bible, Islam is a false religion, Isaiah 8:20. John 14:6.
