While the Left is blaming Trump for escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, in reality, the Islamic Republic has been pushing for war with the U.S. for decades, as I demonstrate in my 2016 book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, which you can order here.
“‘Death to America’ chant Iranian lawmakers, calling U.S. a ‘real terrorist,'” Reuters, June 23, 2019:
DUBAI – Iranian lawmakers chanted “Death to America” during a parliament session on Sunday after a speaker accused the United States of being the “real world terrorist,” amid escalating tension with Washington following the downing of an unmanned US drone.
“America is the real terrorist in the world by spreading chaos in countries, giving advanced weapons to terrorist groups, causing insecurity, and still it says ‘Come, let’s negotiate’,” the parliament’s deputy speaker, Masoud Pezeshkian, said at the start of a session broadcast live on state radio.
“Death to America,” chanted many lawmakers….

Fact is : Iran never attacked a country — USA are in wars since 1945 – and attacked Iran 3 times !
Buraq says
@ Nicu
Iran is currently attacking Israel day and night via its terrorist proxies, such as Hezbollah! And by the way, the Iranian invasion of the American embassy in 1979 in which 52 US citizens were held captive for 444 days breached the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) which clearly states:
Article 22
1. The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission.
2. The receiving State is under a special duty to take all appropriate steps to protect the premises of the mission against any intrusion or damage and to prevent any disturbance of the peace of the mission or impairment of its dignity.
You’re a clown, Nicu!!

Israel attacked Syria over 200 times, supporting ISIS and Al-Qaeda for the past two years alone! Who is the real aggressor here?

As Buraq pointed out, Iran is currently supporting terrorist groups, including your buddies in Hezbollah (child murderers). That you needed to distort Buraq’s words and pretend he simply said “Iran is attacking Israel” instead of what he actually said is merely a reflection of your dishonest character and your lack of ground to stand on.

If “independent” means cheering for child-murderers, supporting rape and hating people for characteristics they have no control over – like sexual orientation – like you do then I’d rather carrying on as I am instead of becoming what you are – an immoral, bloodthirsty beast without a soul or even a shred of humanity.

“They are one and the same thing!”
Nope – they are two different groups at odds with one another. That you use the same footage without managing to identify to which group the alleged jihadis allegedly receiving treatment in Israel belong to just shows how dishonest you are – hellbent on denigrating Israel no matter what. But that should come as no surprise, seeing how you’ve praised the murderers of Israeli children…

“Shiites, Ismailis and Ahmadis make up only about 8.5 percent of all muslims”
Irrelevant.
“and they are peacefully different.”
The shiite quran is the same as the sunni quran – it says “kill unbelievers”, not “be peaceful to unbelievers”.
“They own you!”

Really? Murdering Jews, screaming “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”, waging a violent insurgency in Yemen, and slaughtering Christians in Iraq is “peaceful”?
Really, the only group of this lot that rejects violent Jihad is the Ahmadis–and even they believe in imposing brutal Shari’ah law.

“USA are in wars since 1945” It’s true the Democrats got us into very unpopular wars in Korea and Vietnam. No denying that. And the US was involved in many proxy wars against the spread of Communism. And Nixon bombed the ess out of Cambodia. Still, none of that was terrorism directed against non-combatants.

I see you’re still parroting that anti-American propaganda that I’ve debunked before. For reminders, and to start from the beginning, I pointed out that it required suspension of disbelief to buy into the nonsense that the US lured the USSR to invade Afghanistan and that all deaths caused directly and indirectly by Soviets (and that includes the next item, Angola, where the USSR supported the MPLA and had over ten thousand troops on the ground) are being pin on the US.

dumbledoresarmy says
Typical Mohammedan projection. There is also the fact that the USA, as one of the largest and freest and most powerful non-Islamic countries – and it is still majority-christian – represents a major obstacle to the spread and dominance of Islam. The USa is an ‘uber-kuffar’ nation; ipso facto, the USA is ‘the worst terrorist’. Muslims do not regard their war upon the world as ‘war’; ‘terrorism’ is anything at all that impedes the spread of Islam and/ or is displeasing to mohammedans.
Back in 2014, Saudi Arabia declared atheists to be ‘terrorists’ and imposed 20 years prison for anyone criticising Islam ( which is, in fact, *less* than the prescribed sharia punishment, to wit, death).
One must remember, too, the Islamic teaching that “shirk” (‘assigning partners to allah) is deemed to be a worse crime than murder.
Bassam Tibi on Islamic terminology offers some further insights.
“…world peace, the final stage of the da’wa (call to embrace Islam), is reached only with the conversion or submission of all mankind to Islam…
“Muslims believe that [Islam’s] expansion through war is not aggression but a fulfillment of the Qur’anic command to spread Islam as a way to peace.
**The resort to force to disseminate Islam is not war (harb), a word that is used only to describe the use of force by non-Muslims.** [nota bene – dda].
“Islamic wars are not hurub (the plural of harb) but rather futuhat, acts of “opening” the world to Islam and expressing Islamic jihad.
“Relations between dar al-Islam, the home of peace, and dar al-harb, the world of unbelievers, nevertheless take place in a state of war, according to the Qur’an and to the authoritative commentaries of Islamic jurists.
**Unbelievers who stand in the way, creating obstacles for the da’wa, are blamed for this state of war,** [my emphasis – dda] for the da’wa can be pursued peacefully if others submit to it.
“In other words, those who resist Islam cause wars and are responsible for them.
“Only when Muslim power is weak is “temporary truce” (hudna) allowed (Islamic jurists differ on the definition of “temporary”).”” – quoted in an article by European essayist Wolfgang Bruno, “Islamic Dictionary for Infidels” – which appeared here on Jihadwatch on 28th July 2006.
eduardo odraude says
“…those who resist Islam cause wars and are responsible for them.”
Empirically, wars are caused by non-democracies. Empirically, democracies have never, or virtually never, gone to war against one another. Such a statement can be made of no other form of government. Dictatorships go to war against one another and against democracies.
This empirical phenomenon is referred to by social scientists as the “Democratic Peace.” Last I checked, the only disagreement among social scientists about the Democratic Peace is on the question of whether, historically, democracies have never gone to war on each other, or almost never gone to war on each other. Such disagreement as exists on the question among social scientists is due in part to how the terms “war” and “democracy” are defined. The scholar who did the most work on understanding the Democratic Peace and supported the more unqualified view of the phenomenon was RJ Rummel, who recently passed away and was a professor at the University of Hawaii.

Iran, the number one terrorism-sponsoring state in the planet, with a demonstrable history of support of terrorist groups all over the world and who are currently trying to force the US into returning to the nuclear agreement, is accusing the US of “spreading chaos” (I suppose that’s what they call Trump’s push for homosexual rights in countries where being gay can get you killed), supporting terrorism and wanting to negotiate.

Strange, because you could simply replace Muslims with Progressives or even, unfortunately these days, Democrats, and the golden rules still apply. About the only change would be to put #3 as #1 because that’s the most prominent behaviour of Democrats in Congress and the Senate as soon as there is a camera in front of them.

The average IQ in Iran is eighty-four points.
https://brainstats.com/average-iq-in-iran.html
Don McKellar says
That’s an entertaining site to look at, but that “study” was really poor and pretty ridiculous. For 104 of the 185 nations, no studies were even available and they just made stuff up! Rather than do their own IQ studies, the authors averaged and adjusted existing studies and estimated values by taking averages of the IQs of neighboring or comparable countries! WHAT? For example, there is no way in hell that the average IQ in China is anything like 105. Everything they have today is stolen technology and methods. They create nothing of their own. And outside of the big cities are about three quarters of a billion hopelessly ignorant bumpkins.
Isntlam says
It’s controversial. I will look into the things you say.
eduardo odraude says
The Chinese create nothing of their own? Not so. That is an outdated view. They produce many patents. The fact that the Chinese government encourages theft of foreign inventions does not mean they produce nothing of their own. They have far more scientists and engineers than the US does. I think it quite likely that the IQ average I’ve read for Far Eastern Asians is correct: 107. Part of this, perhaps most of it, is due to the incredibly intense study habits in the Far East in places like China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. It is no accident that in the US, Far East Asians have tended to become so overrepresented in our top universities — and we are talking STEM, not BS. That is why Harvard and other universities, when it comes to admissions, have discriminated against Asians and are being properly sued for it. Asians, based on their high test scores and grades, would be a large percentage of Ivy League student bodies, and the top universities, in the name of “diversity,” therefore found ways of shutting significant numbers of qualified Asians out. I recall reading some years ago that the average Japanese student, if tested among US students in math, scores in the top 1%! That’s the average Japanese student!
It seems quite likely that Far Eastern peoples’ average intelligence is above average, like 107, the score I’ve been reading lately. As an average that is not that significant, but it does mean they produce a larger number of gifted people than do peoples with average IQs of 100. Chinese people, wherever they go when they emigrate from China, tend, like Jews, to be highly economically successful.
I believe the highest average IQ of all peoples in the world is found among Ashkenazi Jews: 114. That means that for Ashkenazi Jews, one standard deviation above their average is similar to two standard deviations above the average for populations with average intelligence of 100. What this means is that Ashkenazi Jews produce an uncommonly large number of geniuses. That’s why they are so over-represented in Nobel prizes in the sciences, mathematics, medicine, economics.
If a population group is determined to do it, they can establish cultural polices that over generations will raise the average IQ of the population. (I’m not talking about eugenics.)
Isntlam says
“I think it quite likely that the IQ average I’ve read for Far Eastern Asians is correct: 107.” Citation needed.
Don McKellar says
You are confusing population numbers with IQ — you are only observing a small percentage of Chinese people whose parents, grandparents or whomever were the smart ones who got out when they could. Not only that, but there are cultural issues at play with asian students. For example, asian students have a lot of family pressure to do better and also do things like form study groups together. How many average American teens do that? They aren’t out “being teenagers” in the common western model — they are studying together. Always. So of course they show up applying at universities with top marks and qualifications in larger numbers than other groups. There is no inherent natural IQ advantage. That is a fallacy. It’s family pressure and hard work and total immersion in being a good student through high school. That’s what’s behind that.
You can also make much the same case for the second point for the success of Jews in general.

Don,
Perhaps.
But here’s a paragraph from the IQ study I linked for Isntslam in my 9:34 pm comment above. This paragraph says East Asians on average have one cubic inch more cranial capacity than whites have on average, and whites on average have 5 cubic inches more cranial capacity than blacks have, and that this also correlates with brain sizes. I can’t say whether the paper from which the paragraph comes is sound or obsolete or what. It was written by Arthur Jensen and Jensen’s views have been countered by Stephen Jay Gould’s book The Mismeasure of Man. Anyway, Jensen’s article was published by the American Psychological Association in 2005. The paper discusses two different views of IQ differences related to race. One view is “hereditarian”, meaning it gives genetic factors some role in IQ, and the other view is “culture-only”, meaning IQ differences are due only to differences in nurture and culture and environment. Anyway, here’s the paragraph on cranial capacity:
As I say, one source for counterarguments is Stephen Jay Gould, The Mismeasure of Man.

There is an old saying the “If a man points his finger and someone there more fingers pointing back.” This is likewise true pf those men who are members of that mullah controlled Parliament of Iran. stooge jihad groups with the jihadists who are the members of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish , Islamic terror entities as Islamic jihad ,Hezbollah ,Hamas , and so forth with their Muslim jihad agenda of destroying the United States as well as the Jewish State of Israel and replacing her with an Islamic “state.”
Just consider the source when the officials of this violent Islamic regime claim that the USA is “the real terrorist in the world.” In fact, this rogue Islamic state of Iran eves sends weapons to Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan, such as the Taliban, to murder US troops.
It’s therefore the Islamic “republic” of Iran that’s the real,actual, terrorist in the world.
Walter Sieruk says
The actual terrorist in the world in that terrorist “mullah regime ” of Iran which even terrorizes this own citizens, especially its female citizens who are trapped and forced to existed in that Islamic terror state.”
For that ruthless cruel brutal heinous l regime of Iran that is so unfittingly has the word “Republic” in its title ,for its called “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” [ I R I]. On the topic of this Islamic tyranny a former Muslim revealed that “The IRI system recognizes women as dependent upon men and incomplete human beings who need to be supervised and controlled by men and the State. This author further exposed that “Women are created for the purposes of giving pleasure to men and child bearing – functions that confine them to the home” This is a male Chauvinistic as can possibly be. In addition this writer further makes it known that “The IRI legal system still retains traditional patriarchal bias that can be described as nothing but systemic subordination of women , which is undoubtedly a human rights violation .” This author further reveals that “Iran is of what Islamic fundamentalists desire, an Islamic State, and the consequence of achieving it “State Terror. Instead of utopia, Iran is an Islamic totalitarian nightmare…” and “the Islamic Republic of Iran exists and operates as what every Islamic fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by Sharia …What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premises; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1] This heinous Islamic has been also exposed by another author who was born and lived in a Middle Eastern nation for many years. She wrote “Female freedom and independence is one of the greatest sins in Islam…” and “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [2] All this is wicked, unjust and misogynistic to the extreme. Islam had not regard for human life, regardless of what the apologists for this religion will claim.

Since the subject of what nation is and is not a real supporter and sponsor of terrorism.
Maybe now mostly forgotten by most people was that vicious and murderous jihad bombing on December 21,1988 of that Pam Am flight 103, Lockerbie bombing disaster. Iran might have had a part in that murderous affront. With those malicious and spite-filled mullahs and other tyrants in power in Iran with their malice-filled Islamic hate for Americans and America. Those malice-filled mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other sinister and insidious fiends in control of Iran with their destructive intentions. This information has been given by a former Revolutionary Guard member, Reza Kahlili, for Iran who defected to the United States. This information about Iran’s possible involvement in that Pam Am bombing is from his book, which is entitled A TIME TO BETRAY pages 291,292, 294, 296.
Walter Sieruk says
About that terrorist Islamic state of Iran and the September 11, 2001 jihad murderous affront against both humankind and America the following might be interesting to some people. A type of thinking of many from Middle East is the sayings that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This type of Middle Eastern “philosophy” may explain, to a degree, how Muslims of two different branches of Islam which are hostile to each other can work together against what they perceive as a “common enemy.”
In this case the mullahs and other in power in Shi ‘ite Iran can work with the jihadists of al Qaeda against which they see as “The Great Satan” By that term they mean the United States of America. As the Muslim author, Rohan Gunaratna , explained in his book INSIDE AL QAEDA . For on page 198 it reveals that among different Islamic terror organizations that “Ideological tolerance and intergroup cohesion as a means confronting a common enemy.” So another author, Robert Spencer, in his book which is entitled THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO IRAN supply’s information about this topic. It has been keyboarded that this book reveals “Iran’s long –standing support of terrorists- including shocking evidence that Iran helped plain the 9/11 attack.”
