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

Iran: Grand Ayatollah says Allah has given the worldwide Muslim community “dignity as a result of jihad”

Apr 19, 2019 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Nouri Hamadani made a new call for Muslims to wage jihad:

Referring to the spirit of sacrifice and jihad among the people nation of Iran, His Eminence ‎stated, “Wherever in the world where there is a war is taking place, people with worldly ‎motives go to the frontlines but the martyrs of Islamic Iran went to jihad with love, ‎enthusiasm and devotion for Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of the Jurisprudent].”‎

“His Eminence” Hamadani — a high-ranking Shia cleric — went on to discuss the importance of “preserving the dignity of Islam.” Jihad martyrdom — killing and being killed for Allah (cf. Qur’an 9:111) — is a strange way to show love and dignity. Hamadani’s moral sense recalls that of another Muslim cleric, Sheikh Faarrokh Sekaleshfar, who called for the execution of gays at a mosque in Orlando weeks before the Pulse massacre. He justified such killing as “nothing to be embarrassed about,” but “compassionate.”

There is plenty to be embarrassed and repulsed about in the theology behind the Islamic jihad, with its instructions of violence and barbarism against fellow human beings in the name of Allah and Islam.

“Iran’s authority due to sacrifices of great veterans, martyrs,” AhlulBayt News Agency, April 18, 2019:

Emphasizing on the necessity of explaining the wills of the martyrs to the people, the ‎revered source of emulation ‎‎considered Iran’s dignity and authority is due to the sacrifice of ‎it’s great veterans and martyrs‎.‎

Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Nouri Hamadani met with the director general and members ‎of the Martyrs Foundation of Qom province and said, “Today, it must be known that ‎keeping the memory of the martyrs alive is very important.”‎

Noting that keeping the memory of the martyrs alive will lead to the revival of the spirit of ‎sacrifice and martyrdom, the revered source of emulation stated, “All of Iran’s dignity and ‎authority is due to the sacrifices of its great veterans and martyrs.”‎
‎ ‎
He said that according to narrations, anyone who abandons jihad on the path of God, God ‎will wrap him in the clothes of humiliation and debasement.‎
‎ ‎
Ayatollah Nouri Hamadani ‎emphasized that according to the narrations, jihad was always ‎emphasized by the Prophet Muhammad and the Infallibles and added, “God has given the ‎ummah dignity as a result of jihad. Every good thing has degrees and levels but one must ‎know that above all good is being martyred on the path of God.”‎

Referring to the spirit of sacrifice and jihad among the people nation of Iran, His Eminence ‎stated, “Wherever in the world where there is a war is taking place, people with worldly ‎motives go to the frontlines but the martyrs of Islamic Iran went to jihad with love, ‎enthusiasm and devotion for Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of the Jurisprudent].”‎

He emphasized the necessity of explaining the wills of the martyrs for the people and stated, ‎‎“Today, the enemies are trying to amplify a sense of regret and disappointment among the ‎people towards the martyrs in order to disturb the country. Therefore, we must try through ‎cultural works to stand against the enemies and preserve the dignity of Islam.”‎ ….

    Does Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Nouri Hamadani statement amount to a declaration of war?

    • Keys says

      Apr 19, 2019 at 5:38 pm

      Yes, it’s just another way of stating the highest degree ( killing and being killed for Allah) of Islam’s perpetual war against non-believers (all non-muslims and any muslim who is not the right kind).

      The war can be fought in other ways through deceit, infiltration, sabotage, rape, terror, arson, etc. against the non-muslim world (the realm of war – dar al harb).

      It is al walaa wal baraa in action, which is essential to win the war until all the world is for Allah.

      The religion of peace, Islam, has declared war on all the rest of us, and it is an eternal, formal, written in Arabic, perfect, unchangeable declaration of war to be carried out on Allah’s behalf by all muslims.

          Yes, it is a declaration of war and also a CALL TO RECRUITMENT OF SOLDIERS.

          Islam has its OWN LANGUAGE which Westerners must swiftly struggle to learn or else ALL WILL BE LOST.

      Personally, I think that if it is “dignity” that they want ….. let’s all give them all that they can take!!!!!

      The “Peace of Islam” is the “Peace of Death” …. theirs, or ours, it matters not to them.

      The only way to stop the onslaught of islam it the only way that has ever worked, throughout history …….., attrition.

        Rather than bringing them dignity, jihad has earned them almost global condemnation as vile troglodytes – except by the proponents of multiculturalism who bring these murderers to our shores. The totalitarian Ayatollah reigns in an anachronistic military theocracy that he would foist upon the modern world through violence and deception.

    The old liar lives in a technical world which owes nothing to the Doctrine of Evil, nor to Allah, aka Satan, nor to the lying, looting, raping, murdering pedophile supposed prophet, Mohamed. Muslims are barbarians, world class, no doubt, but fit for nothing that is not hateful or stupid. Yet, this ugly old fart thinks Muslims are superior to Westerners!?

    If I have offended any Muslim barrow, please believe me, it was intentional.

    Dignity….means deserving of respect and/or honor. So, surely this idiot jests!
    Perhaps old age and ugliness has overtaken his few brain cells and he speaks…speaking without knowledge of what words mean…what the word “dignity” means.

    Disdain…is the word for which his brain was searching and he misspoke.
    islam is deserving of great amounts of Disdain. Because islam is demonic, evil, nasty, filthy, contemptible, ….and deserves to have the Truth about it spread far and wide…and commits acts of terrorism he calls jihad. He meant to say “terrorism” instead.

  4. Westman says

    Apr 19, 2019 at 4:27 pm

    Yes, the dignity and love of Iranian Islamic martyrdom was apparent when children and old people were sent to clear minefields with their bodies during the Iraq-Iran war. Why didn’t you assist, Hamadani?

    The Grand Wizard of the Shite clan has spoken….

    Love,Peace,Tolerance,Respect for other beliefs……:There’s none of that “nonsense” in islam,the holiest most peaceful religion of the world with the best community possible:muslims k3:110

    The muslims have a false pagan Arab god{allah the “BEST of deceivers” k3:54},a false cross-dressing mass-murdering lying “prophet” muhamMAD{APFh,allah prays for him}{Sahih Bukhari 2442,Abu Dawud 4390,Al tabari 6:111},a commandment-of-God violating plagiarized “holy” book the koran,1,400 years of murder,mayhem,theft and invading countries along with violent antisemitism,antichristianity,misogyny and racism……………..

    Christians{Follow the Biblical God who they believe ALREADY owns the world}
    “He’s Got the whole world in His hands”

    muslims{Follow the pagan muslim god allah who has to use jihad,lies and evil to win the world}
    “he wants the whole world in his hands”

    Now why does the muslim god have to take over the world?How come he doesn’t already own it?

    Here’s a big clue..at least to those who can see it..

    allah,{The “BEST of deceivers”k3:54}greatest enemy is a man called Malik Al Amlak{“the King of kings”}
    Sahih Muslim vol 5 hadith #5611.If this is true then that shows that allah is a false god,an evil force and in opposition to the moral good

    {allah “the BEST of deceivers”} versus {MALIK AL AMLAK:Jesus Christ}

    {islamic doctrine of HATE:al walaa wal baraa} versus {Biblical doctrine of LOVE}

    It is amazing to think that the “holy” men of islam do not know that the “WHOLE OF THE LAW of Moses and all the prophets”{Matthew 22 v 40}depends on 2 chief Laws of Love and that their god allah{the BEST of deceivers”}COMPLETELY MISSED THAT.

    Instead of “Love thy neighbor”{2nd chief law,in Judaism and Christianity} we have allah teaching the muslims “Do Not love thy neighbor”{koran 5 v 51:”Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”}

    Iran: Grand Ayatollah says Allah has given the worldwide Muslim community “dignity as a result of jihad”
    ………………………

    Wait–where’s christianblood to tell us that Iran never wages Jihad–that Jihad is, instead, waged by the ‘filthy’ Americans and Jews?

      If the Ayatollah is telling Iranians and Shiites to defend themselves from their aggressor enemies then there is nothing wrong with his statement. But if he is telling Iranians and others to wage a jihadist war against non-muslims and is promoting sharee’a and jihad like the Saudis and other Salafi muslims say all the time then he is indeed un-Iranian is very wrong and he is no different from ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia and other Salafi jihadists!

      It is very, very likely that his words were completely taken out of the context or distorted
      by those who hate Iran because the whole world knows that Iran fights jihadists that are supported by Saudi Arabia, the US, Nato and Israel in Syria and elsewhere and prevented them from taking control of that country!

        Oh no! Muslims saying that they have “given the worldwide Muslim community ‘dignity as a result of jihad’” must have been taken out of context by the filthy Infidels! Bad dhimmis!

        Actually, in the video, the middle east rerrirotires become Balkanized, carved up according to interests of the majority of the populations in each area. Makes sense really. Should support this plan of NeoCons.

    But terrorist expectation is the other way around.

    Dignity? Sure, but only if you define dignity as being considered the scum of the earth and violent religious fanatics. Take a bow Muslims! You are the most dignified people around.

    What the idiot Hoseyn Nouri Hamadani doesn’t say is that 70% of the Muslims (mainly Sunni) would like to KILL all the Shi’ites, “because they insult the Prophet Muhammad!”.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 20, 2019 at 6:08 pm

      True enough. Both Sunnis and Shia hate Infidels, though.

  12. Savvy Kafir says

    Apr 20, 2019 at 5:26 am

    When I look at Muslim-majority countries around the world — and Muslim enclaves in the West — “dignity” is NOT the first thing that springs to mind.

    This idiot is confusing dignity with the (totally unwarranted) haughty disdain Muslims feel towards infidels.

    With this new information of the main top essay is should not be forgot ted and therefore remembered that an article of this site on April 12, 2019 had revealed that “The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, the highest-ranking branch of the nation’s military, issued a statement vowing to “spare no effort” in fighting the U.S. military on Tuesday, suggesting the potential of a planned attack against Washington.”

    This should be of no surprise to any informant person, in fact , it figures for the real legacy Ayatollah Khomeini who was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]
