“Iran says will target 6,236 US sites, in reply to Trump’s Twitter threat,” PM News, January 5, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The sabre-rattling is on between Tehran and Washington as a senior Iranian lawmaker responded to President Donald Trump’s threat to attack 52 Iranian targets.
Chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mojtaba Zonnouri said Iran will attack as many US targets as the number of the verses of the Holy Quran if it comes under assault by the US, Fars News reported.
“If they want to hit 52 sites of ours, we will hit a number of US targets that will be as many as the number of the verses (6,236) of the Holy Quran, and we will target 124,000 of them that stands equal to the number of 124,000 prophets,” Zonnouri said on Sunday.
He said that from the closest US base in Bahrain to its farthest base in the Indian Ocean are within the range of Iranian missiles.
“If they attack our cultural centres, we will hit their bases and warships,” Zonnouri said.
His remarks came after US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Iran that if it retaliates for the assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, it will face US attacks on 52 targets, a number he said was symbolic.
“Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have………targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD,” he said. “The USA wants no more threats!”
In response, Iranian Army Commander Major General Seyed Abdolrahim Mousavi said that Trump does not have the courage to attack Iran.
“The US will not dare to take any actions against our country,” the Iranian Army commander said.

I suspect Rocket Man Kim already understands that if he ever so much as singes the outer corner of a parking lot at a farmers market in Portlandia he’ll be sitting in the middle of a lump of molten glass within about 25 minutes. If the Irationalians try the same thing I can only assume they aren’t really all that attached to those oil refineries or nuclear plants. But as with all Muslim fanatics, grandiosity is their stock in trade. It must somehow be connected to the quality of the holy virgin ‘ho’s they expect to meet when they go to their “reward”.
Jay de Silva says
Why the hell do people refer to Islam as ‘A Religion of Peace’? Islam is the most vicious religion of all, if it can be called a religion. There is no peace mentioned in any of the Suras, nor does the so-called Islamic god, ‘Allah’, ever mention anything about peace.

The “religion of peace” thing was cooked up in a 1930 article in India–but this Taqiyya became really popular after 9/11. Yes–it is the biggest lie of all.

Iran has been a terrorist nation for decades. They threw the first punch decades ago and we have only answered each punch with a slap on the wrist. Our current president is not the slap on the wrist type of guy. Iran has been put on notice as has palestine and every nation who sponsors terrorism.

Infidel says
Yeah, this coming days after the Iranian who would have been most feared by the Americans, assuming that they fear Iran at all, was taken out. The US would have even less fear now.
They might as well start guessing what the 52 targets are
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
There have been 124,000 prophets in Islam? Source, please.
https://www.al-islam.org/prophethood-and-prophet-islam-ayatullah-ibrahim-amini/number-prophets
says, “Throughout the history, a large number of prophets were sent to guide human beings. His Eminence, Adam (a.s.) was the first of the divine prophets and The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S) was the last of them. The exact number of prophets is not known, but in some traditions their number is mentioned as 124000.”

Probably a number like those seventy-two virgins…

Yes, very probably g.i.
Infidel says
So every one of those 123999 prophets before Mohammed was a pre-Muslim (since Muslims regard them all as Muslim)? So Iran can’t even base their threat on actual Muslim prophets, like say, the 12 imams. That would be a more achievable goal (actually, already achieved and surpassed, if one counts their Jihad attacks to date)
But I didn’t get their statement: how many are they hitting? 6,236 or 124,000? Does that mean that they’ll be targeting 124,000 and when they hit #6236, then they’ll stop?

I was recently watching a video about Japan’s worry about invading the US. Bacially he said the problem with invading the US is that there is a rifle behind every blade of grass. I’m here to tell you, I have more than one pistol and more than one rifle with me and enough ammo for each.

The Iranian government has a bad case of “little dog syndrome”.
Wellington says
A larger “element” here is that the more devout the Muslim the more they are inclined to melodramatic hyperbole.
Fitting since all of Islam is rooted in rank sentiment and exaggeration, in addition of course to the usual and predictable death and maiming.
Islam: Could be cogently contended that it is the greatest mistake over the longest period of time in mankind’s history. I personally would vote in the affirmative here—“enthusiastically.”
Murali says
+1 . Totally agree. Moreover, The folks in Tehran tend to believe in a lot of supernatural stuff too.

So true–remember “THE MOTHER OF ALL BATTLES!!!!!!!”? Muslims are ridiculous.
mortimer says
That would be 6,236 DIRECT LINKS between Islam and terrorism.
Islam has already killed 270 million kafirs since Mohammed began his raids … that is 3 Kafirs killed EVERY HOUR since Mohammed began his raids.
Mohammedanism is the religion of 3 killed per hour.

Interesting figures on the number of kafirs/infidels killed since the Prophet began his raids.
Where do these staggering figures come from ?
Scary figures wouldn’t you say ? given how there is just a very small percentage of radicalised people in the RoP – I think you said 1% or was it 2% who become radical.
Imagine the power of these lone killers if considerably more of the prophet’s and al lah’s adherents decide to pursue the killing of infidels.
Still, we on this website must continue – as you inform me – to not lump all of the adherents of the prophet & al lah together, as by far the greater majority live quiet, unviolent lives. A trap I sometimes fall into when anger and pain carry me away when I repeatedly see the horror of those murdered around the globe… and especially in Africa.
Ann says
But decent human beings would speak out against the violence and persecution carried out in the name of Islam. Very few Muslims do so. No protests after any terrorist attack. Only willing to enjoy the benefits of living in the West with no willingness to walk the walk.
gravenimage says
This is because most Muslims support Islam–and Jihad and Shari’ah are the core elements of that creed.
FYI says
Do you know what is MISSING in the koran,something no islamic scholar will be able to tell you {why it is missing}?
The GOLDEN RULE
“Do for others what they want them to do for you:this is the MEANING of the Law of Moses and the teachings of all the prophets”
Matthew 7 v 12
If the Golden Rule is defined as being the meaning of the Law of Moses and the prophets and given that allah claims 1} he gave the Gospel to Jesus {k5:46-47} which contains this essential teaching and given that allah confirms the Gospel as being TRUE at the time the koran was written k3;3..
Then WHY is it missing in islam and the koran?
HOW is it possible it isn’t in islam or the koran?
Also missing in islam:the 2nd chief commandment lev19:18,the recognition of the essential role given to the Jews{John 4 v 22},the idea that non-muslims are made in the spiritual image of God,the Holy Spirit of Wisdom{denied k4:171 as allah doesn’t believe in theTrinity},any respect for the Exodus 20 laws:in fact if you look at the two CHIEF commandments of God{defined by Jesus as being “the WHOLE of the LAW of Moses and the teachings of the prophets”matthew 22 v 37-40} you will see the koran and islam does NOT even conform to them.
The absence of both the Golden Rule and the 2nd chief commandment{revealed in the BIBLE} but missing in islam/the koran shows you that it is the koran that is FALSE.
Critics of islam/the koran should note these two koranic criteria..
koran 4:82 Of koranic perfection:any errors in the koran would show it to be false
{but the koran is FULL of ERRORS…hidden from muslims by using that arabic nonsense}
koran 45:16 authentic prophets must be from the Children of Israel
{but muahmmed wasn’t from the Children of Israel:he wasn’t Jewish and thus could not have been an authentic prophet:Jesus satisfies the criterion of koran 45:16,laugahbly muhammed doesn’t.
That explains why islam is a religion of HATE{al walaa wal baraa confirms it}
CogitoErgoSum says
They should bury their dead, take a month (or two) of mourning and try to figure out what they did to deserve this (as I remember being told after Sept. 11, 2001). The difference is this time, yes, they really did bring this upon themselves. They fought Saddam Hussein to a stalemate for almost 8 years. How long did it take the U.S. to anihilate Saddam? You want to bet we’ve learned more from our wars than they have? Maybe they feel lucky but their luck is that only a general and of few of his men were killed — this time.
Carol the 1st says
Christopher Hitchens thought it was obscene that a psychopath by name of Saddam Hussein was given TIME to adjust his thinking and turn himself around. Just doesn’t happen with his type. He burned his way out of Kuwait when there was no need to do so.
JHL says
Few people, if any, seem to realize that you simply cannot make peace with Islam. It is a supremacist ideology that admits of no compromise, and no innovations. If there is to be an end to the world, and to civilization, it will begin with Islamic ideology. They must be stopped.
Gfmucci says
I’m among the few. You are absolutely correct.
PLD GUY says
There is no peace with islam, the only thing these fools know is power. Their minds are still in the stone ages and they follow the cave man ideology, the strongest man wins and gets to drag the females into his cave so that he can beat and rape them into following Muhammad. Thats their plan for us and the sooner we understand that the better.
Gfmucci says
We will hit 31,103 targets in Iran…the number of verses in the Holy Bible! Such childish BS.
somehistory says
Another guy said that they would remember the 290 from the downed airliner in 1988; accidentally shot down by the U.S.
It’s all hyperbole. The leader, khomenini…or whatever is the spelling..said that iranians would do the killing this time around and they wouldn’t use proxies.
Infidel says
Khomeini was the former ayatollah, who died in 1989. Khamenei was his president during that time, and succeeded him as supreme leader.
Incidentally, when the Pentagon said that there was just one cultural site, I suspect it’s the tomb of Khomeini, which is a major destination in Teheran
gravenimage says
That would be a good target. Somehow I didn’t think we were going to be aiming at something like the ruins of Persepolis or Bam.
Infidel says
No, I don’t think those would be. I don’t even think they’d aim at shi’ite holy sites that were revered before this revolution, just the ones built under the Kh*menei’s.
But if we ever did have a war on islam, then such sites would be fair game. Also the lair of the Hashshashin (Assassin) cult in Alemut, on the Elbruz mountains

Agreed, Infidel.

“we will hit a number of US targets that will be as many as the number of the verses (6,236) of the Holy Quran.”

So if the hit fewer or more than this number, would that mean that they’ve changed the Qur’an?
Tay says
Areas in the US were already attacked in the name of Islam even before this happened
FYI says
well they probably shouldn’t use THIS number from allah’s “perfect” book.
“Above it are 19”
Koran 74 v 30
19 what?
19 books,19 flying donkeys like muhammed had,19 pigs..?The problem with an inconclusive statement in allah’s “conclusive word”koran 686:13 is that it is open for interpretation..as it is inconclusive
Nobody knows what allah means by that cryptic statement.Nobody.
What is ‘it’ and what are those mysterious 19 things above ‘it’?
Can any islamic scholar explain?
Is allah a fan of cryptic crosswords?
Why does allah make so many mistakes in his “perfect” book,even one of which,by allah’s OWN criterion of k4:82 means the koran ,in its imperfections,cannot actually come from God but from “other than allah”{which means the Arabs who wrote the koran}
Answers from islamic scholars on a postcard please..
