Ilhan Omar and Nancy Pelosi hardest hit.

Dear Iranians
Please show everyone how serious you are by adding ‘Death to Islam’ amongst your slogans. You’re being attacked and targeted anyway, so what do you have to lose?
Assuming that it’s really what you believe.
P.S. On another front – since I don’t yet see that story posted here, good news, that over a dozen Saudi servicemen are being expelled from the US for either extremist ties, or possession of child porn

Fine post, Infidel. And, specifically, I do hope that those trying to pull down the despicable Iranian regime comprehend, fully, that this regime very much has Islam in its structure and ideology completely on its side as your “Death to Islam” encapsulates.
Getting rid of the Iranian theocracy and throwing Islam on the trash heap of history are tied at the hip. Can’t really get rid of the one without getting rid of the other.
Good news too about Saudis being expelled from the US. No Muslim should be allowed into Western nations except a very limited diplomatic personnel. Of course this will require looking upon Islam as Communism was viewed during the Cold War. Would warm my heart if this occurred.

Oh, you *could* get rid of the current regime in Iran without dealing with the issue of Islam–but you would be apt to soon have something about as bad in its place.
Wellington says
Agreed. But this is why I wrote, “Can’t really get rid of….” Emphasis here on “really.”
gravenimage says
Yep.

“No Muslim should be allowed into Western nations except a very limited diplomatic personnel.”
Yes, and they should be constantly “supervised” by law enforcement…
Infidel says
Precisely, which is why, if Iranians don’t mass-apostatize, then I’m rather ambivalent about whether or not this regime stays in place. At the very least, the current regime is a regional counter-weight to both the Turks and the Arabs. Whereas a replacement regime could easily be at the mercy of, if not a puppet of, either or both
roberta says
Yeah, Im not exactly full of hope for the possible ”next regime” in Iran. If it is Islamic, its screwed from the start.
But maybe a regime change could put the necks of the current diaper heads in charge of Iran in a noose. That would be sweet.
Cant say that wishing death on anyone makes me feel too good about myself, but damn, seeing those guys swinging from ropes would be so satisfying.
CogitoErgoSum says
I hear a lot of female voices in that crowd.
Wellington says
Definitely a positive CES.
CogitoErgoSum says
I think so too.
CogitoErgoSum says
I’m seeing reports now that the mullahs don’t like what those women are saying and so are allowing their men to shoot some of those women. Evil usually finds a way to do itself in and the mullahs are now in the process of doing just that. Do you remember I once said that Iranian women were among the most beautiful in the world? I think that even more tonight.
gravenimage says
Yes–so many of the “protests” with screaming “Death to America!” there are no women in the crowds at all.
underbed cat says
Wow, good they should be expelled from all bases. It is not that they are Saudi, it sharia law they follow…and once people get that it becomes clear. We must also protect from with in….on all borders and directions. I just hope we didn’t start too late.
Wellington says
Seconded, underbed cat. The fewer Muslims in a still-free polity the better.
Message to ALL Muslims: Your religion cannot be squared with liberty. All other major religions can be but not yours.
James Lincoln says
underbed cat says,
…”they should be expelled from all bases”.
YES !!!
Infidel says
Like Rep Matt Gaetz said recently on Tucker Carlson Tonight, we need to revisit this alliance w/ Saudi Arabia, as well as the rest of the Arab countries.
Also, while I like the president’s idea of making NATO somewhat relevant by involving them in the Middle East, I’m not sure that I agree w/ the concept of ‘NATOME’, particularly in terms of new membership. Israel definitely would deserve to be a member, but I’m not a fan of any Muslim country joining. There is Article 5 of NATO, which requires NATO to come to the defense of any country which is attacked. If Israel attacks Lebanon and Lebanon is a NATO member but Israel isn’t, then I wouldn’t want us to go to war w/ Israel.
Terry says
Fox News and other conservative sites are showing videos of the Iranian protestors in the streets and mentioned that our democratic politicians and the MSM are mum on this new development. Reports coming in claim that many of the passengers on the downed plane were Iranians which sparked the latest protest as the citizens of Iran found out their own government was responsible for the tragedy.
