Islamic Republic of Iran: Thousands scream “Death to America” to celebrate 40th anniversary of US embassy seizure

Nov 6, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

If Trump hadn’t removed the United States from Obama’s nuclear deal, they wouldn’t be screaming “Death to America,” and peace would be reigning, right?

Wrong. They were screaming “Death to America” even as the nuclear deal was being concluded. The mullahs have been pushing for war with the United States for decades, and the nuclear deal was no departure from this imperative. Get the details in The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran.

“Iranians Chant ‘Death to America’ to Mark US Embassy Seizure,” News18.com, November 4, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Dubai: Thousands of Iranians chanted “Death to America” near the old US embassy on Monday, the 40th anniversary on the seizure of the mission, with the country’s army chief comparing the United States with a poisonous scorpion intent on harming Iran.

State television showed crowds packing the streets around the former mission, dubbed the “den of spies” after Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution. Marches and rallies were being held in some 1,000 communities across the country, state media said.

Hardline Islamist students stormed the embassy soon after the fall of the US-backed shah, and 52 Americans were held hostage there for 444 days. The two countries have been enemies ever since.

“Our fight with America is over our independence, over not submitting to bullying, over values, beliefs and our religion,” army chief Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said in a speech at the rally outside the former embassy.

“They (Americans) will continue their hostilities, like the proverbial poisonous scorpion whose nature it is to sting and cannot be stopped unless it is crushed,” Mousavi said in remarks carried by state TV.

On Sunday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei renewed a ban on talks with the United States, describing the two countries as implacable foes.

“Those who believe that negotiations with the enemy will solve our problems are 100% wrong,” he said.

Meanwhile, Iran’s parliament gave initial approval to a measure requiring schoolbooks to inform students about “America’s crimes”. Lawmakers also chanted “Death to America”….

        PanirKudi108–the former “Prabh”–has said things like this before. That our objecting to Muslims calling for our murder makes us “oil thieves”.

      Here’s an interesting review of how Iran has become more powerful and influential in the Middle East, especially since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

    Prior to Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, I knew virtually nothing about Islam.

    I am now relatively well versed in the basics of Islam, although always wishing that I never had to be…

        I too have got sucked into the study of Islam, and it has wasted a lot of my time and energy. We must all try to think how to combat it by spreading the truth, without it falling on deaf ears. That is the main problem. Governments won’t listen, therefore the public must be educated, somehow.We must not be deterred by cries of Islamophobia: It is the ‘westernised’ word for Allahu Akbar!

          I’ve had to learn more than I ever cared to know about Islam, as well, David. But this is the greatest fight of our time, and it is important that we continue to expose this threat.

    I hope that President Trump will end USA participation in “endless” wars, but I don’t think the neighbors will cooperate or allow it. This is an illustration of stubborn belief that is prevalent in major power competition.

    • Infidel says

      It needn’t be in their hands. If we withdrew completely from the region, there would be a 3-way power struggle for the leadership of Islam b/w Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran. Just like it was in the Middle Ages after the Abbasid Caliphate was demolished by the Mongols.

      Like Hugh prescribed several times, we have no dog in that fight: the only dog we have is that fight itself. Just make sure that nobody ever gains the upper hand or manages to completely destroy either of the other parties.

      • don vito says

        Nov 7, 2019 at 10:36 pm

        It could be as you say, or perhaps the major powers competition spreads to other neighborhoods, after victory of one of three you mentioned. I think I read from Hugh, several years ago that it would be in our (West) interest that these carrion eaters should continually devour one another. However, what is to be done if one devour’s the other two? That wouldn’t be good, would it?

        • don vito says

          Nov 7, 2019 at 10:49 pm

          Sorry Infidel, I some how didn’t finish reading your entire post, were you pre-answered my question. However, when you posted “Just make sure that nobody ever gains the upper hand or manages to completely destroy either of the other parties.” that “making sure” part seems like a very big invitation to the next part of the “endless” war scenario the West finds itself in.

    The heading of the jihadwatch site article, alone reveals much . It reads Islamic “Republic of Iran: Thousands scream “Death to America” to celebrate 40th anniversary of US embassy seizure “

    In addition, this all started with Ayatollah Khomeini and his lying and deceptions started this Islamic regime Iran which is based in the foundation of false and empty promises. As well as lying words. After the fiendish Muslim clerics obtained total power in Iran they showed their true colors by having their Islamic state police who are called the “Revolutionary Guards truest the people on Iran in many heinously brutal and ruthless ways. As, for example, their brutal, callous misogyny against both girls and women. This thesis statement is explained, in some detail, by the following. This tyrannical Islamic regime in Iran that so falsely and inappropriately has the word “republic” in its title. It should be made known that this called the “Iranian Revolution” turned out to be a hoax. Ayatollah Khomeini before achieving power in Iran in his lying and deceptions presented himself to the Iranian people as if he was someone who would be in power would give freedom to the people of Iran with any tyranny. The reality turned out to be just the opposite. As explained by a former Muslim as well as a man who took part in this Islamic “revolution “ ,who is now a Christian informs the reader of his book that “Prior to the Revolution no one ever imagined that other political parties would be suppressed under the rule of Ayatollah Khomeini. He had promised that all groups would have freedom to run their own campaigns after the Revolution. He even stated that governing system would be based on the decision of the people via a referendum. He never spoke of a system that would be governed by Islam. He even made clear that mullahs would not take part in any political activities, and that they would only be allowed to teach spirituality… Immediately after the Revolution, mullahs rushed into government offices to occupy the most important political l positions, making it difficult for the interim secular government to function … The mullah’s occupation of position was exactly the opposite to what the Ayatollah Khomeini had promised before the Revolution.”. [1] In other words, the insincere, disingenuous and outright lying Ayatollah Khomeini made many bogus promise he really had no intention of keeping. His lying deception worked, for he achieved great power in Iran.

    Furthermore, of the many heinously evils outcome s of that Islamic “revolution” is the extremely cruel, brutal and demonic misogyny of this hideous Islamic regime. Not only against women but even young girls. As explained by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who defected to the West and how now lives in America his book also informs the reader about the malicious and murderous affront girls in Iran’s Evin prison which reads that those in power ,the “paraded teenage girls in front in front of me as they led them to their deaths. These girls were barely out of their childhood, barely old enough to think of themselves, much less form thoughts against the state. They knew nothing about the machinations of politics. They were innocent in every sense of the word and certainty innocent of trumped –up charges that led to their imprisonment. Yet they suffered fates too brutal for even the most vicious criminal. ..Their few remaining moments of life had been filled with the level of abuse that few can imagine…The author further states “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [2] This is as malice -filled and viciously wicked as can possibly be. This, very much, reflects the Wisdom found in the Bible which in Proverbs 15:15. For it reads “All the days of the oppressed are wretched. “ and likewise Proverbs 29:2. Which teaches “When the wicked rule, the people groan. “ [N.I.V.]

    That the mullahs work the people up to so much hate that they chant over and over again “Death to America” is keeping with character of the rough Islamic state of Iran . Therefore that attack, by Iran, should be of no surprise to any informant person, in fact , this fits in with the real legacy of 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]

      Yes–just look at how Muslims treat diplomats–taking the US Embassy staff hostage in Iran, and murdering our ambassador in Libya.

      Civilized people treat diplomatic staff with respect; even in the case of war or crime, the most we do is safely deport them.

      • Infidel says

        Nov 6, 2019 at 11:04 pm

        That thing dates back to the 12th century: Genghiz Khan sent a number of envoys, including a token Muslim, to Samarqand to meet the Khwarezmid sultan. The sultan executed the Muslim envoy as a traitor to Islam, and blackened the face of the others. This was repeated once or twice, and finally, Genghiz Khan had enough, spent a year preparing for an invasion, and finally, when he invaded, he totally razed the Khwarezmid cities of Samarqand, Qonyeurgench and Herat. And he used exactly the sort of tactics that Muslims used in war, so that they were completely defeated and that empire destroyed.

        If we don’t have the balls to do that, we should avoid having any diplomatic contacts w/ Muslim countries in the first place

        • gravenimage says

          Nov 6, 2019 at 11:06 pm

          It likely dates back even further, Infidel.

          And I agree that Islam should be isolated as much as possible.

    Islamic Republic of Iran: Thousands scream “Death to America” to celebrate 40th anniversary of US embassy seizure
    ……………………….

    These thugs have not changed in 40 years. So glad Trump pulled the plug on Obama’s appeasement deal.

    • Infidel says

      Nov 6, 2019 at 11:11 pm

      Ali Khamenei – the current ayatollah – became the president of Iran in 1981, just 2 years after the revolution. So he’s been in power the whole time – for the first part of his career, as #2 to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei until 1989, and since then, as #1.

      So it should be no surprise that nothing has changed. In fact, wasn’t Ahmadinezad one of the hostage takers of that embassy, or was that ‘debunked’ by the LSM?

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 7, 2019 at 9:25 pm

        There is a photo of a hostage-taker that looks like a young Ahmadinejad–but I don’t think this has ever been confirmed.

  9. No Muzzies Here says

    Nov 7, 2019 at 9:35 am

    One wonders if the cry “Death to America” was what inspired Obama to enter into the nuclear “deal” with Iran and to deliver to them planeloads of cash.

    • David says

      Nov 8, 2019 at 8:53 am

      Perhaps he thought it would appease them? In the meantime they continued with nuclear enrichment, no doubt with the help of US Cash!

  10. OLD GUY says

    Nov 7, 2019 at 11:35 am

    The only answer to these people is death, we will never buy their friendship. They are taught to hate America from a vary young age with that hatred is being driven into them constantly. Obama the traitor has given them the ability to strike America in the near future, and our politician are fighting over a supposed quid – pro quo.
