My latest in PJ Media:
On the day after Christmas, the Iranian Islamic regime’s Ahlul Bayt News Agency published a collection of the sayings from Shia Islam’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, about Christianity and related matters. Khamenei denounced the claim that “Islam is hostile to other nations and to other religions” and insisted: “This is not true. Islam is not antagonistic toward other religions.” Digging even deeper, he added: “When Islam dominated non-Muslim regions, the followers of other religions were grateful to Muslims for their Islamic mercy.” Khamenei and his regime are known for their deceptive practices, but this one may be the biggest lie the ruthless 81-year-old autocrat has ever told.
In The History of Jihad there is superabundant detail about how Islamic conquest led to the humiliation and abasement of non-Muslims. This was not a bug, but a feature, codified in Islamic law: one influential Islamic scholar, Salah as-Sawi, specifies that the payment of the jizya, the Qur’anic tax that non-Muslims must pay to Muslims as a sign of their submission (Qur’an 9:29), signifies that the non-Muslims are “humble and obedient to the judgements of Islam.”
And speaking of Iran, the Bedouin commander al-Mughira bin Sa’d, who when he met his Persian counterpart Rustam in battle before Khamenei’s nation was conquered for Islam, said: “I call you to Islam or else you must pay the jizya while you are in a state of abasement….You pay it while you are standing and I am sitting and the whip hanging is over your head.”
Similarly, the revered Qur’an commentator Ibn Kathir says that the dhimmis must be “disgraced, humiliated and belittled. Therefore, Muslims are not allowed to honor the people of Dhimmah or elevate them above Muslims, for they are miserable, disgraced and humiliated.” The seventh-century jurist Sa’id ibn al-Musayyab stated: “I prefer that the people of the dhimma become tired by paying the jizya since He says, “‘until they pay the jizya with their own hands in a state of complete abasement.’”
There is much more. Read the rest here.
Esperanza says
Hahaha, my ancestors were so happy with Islam that they fought for seven centuries to expel them from Spain

Spot on, Esperanza.
mortimer says
No kafir was ever glad that the Pact of Omar was imposed.
Dhimmitude is merely a form of slavery. The dhimmi has no enforceable rights, only ‘privileges’ that may be denied whimsically by the Muslim ruler for any or no reason.

The Christians of Iran don’t seem happy to be dominated by Muslims. Neither do the Coptic Christians of Egypt but Muslims are great at revising history and lying by omission to cast themselves in a favorable light.
Check Burry says
Plus the dominating list Christians in palestine area must live by, imposed by mus. totally unreasonable domination, denial of normal freedoms, and a little bit racist to put it mildly.
mortimer says
Even Muslims hate living in Muslim countries and prefer the comparative freedom of Western countries to their own Berzerkistans!
Infidel says
Talking of Iran, the Zoroastrians of that country either converted or fled the scene to India, where they managed to be under the radar when the Muslim conquests of that country happened. Since muslims in India were busy massacring Hindus, Zoroastrians managed to get overlooked, as did Jews and Christians
David Grisez says
What else is new? So we now see that the Iran Ayatollah Khamenei is good at telling lies. That is sure a big lie that in Muslim dominated regions people of other religions were grateful for Muslim mercies.
Eur says
all dictators say the same thing and that is that Islam is a dictatorship, it is pure and simple totalitarianism.Pinochet,Videla, Mussolini ,Franco ,Ceausescu … they were mere apprentices compared to any Islamic regime.Hitler, Polpot, Stalin … those were at the height of Islam.
Mojdeh says
Islam needs get out of Iran as well. Islam ruined Iran. We need to be Christian or Zoroastrianism etc.
Islam is Satanic religion made by Impostor of Mohamed… Abu Bakr Umar Osman are enemies of world.
Islam has nothing to offer for humanity accept bull-ism. There was a ship in Persian Gulf and Mined was attached to explode by terrorist regimeof Iran, It was neutralized by American Forces.. WW3 is in full
motion? PR Donald Trump cut his vaction short came back to white house. He is in the processing ordering full nukes Iran soon?
Mojdeh says
Please look at his face what you see can you tell me please… I say his turban is fake like himself. He is a Joke.This terrorist regime must go and forced to go better for world. Queen of London and Jimmy Carter we will not forgive you ? New James bond movie is a lady selected we all must clap for her.
Westman says
Yes dhimmis were thankful for being alive and gave that thanks to their own diety or luck. Khamenei talks like a slave owner trying to justify owning slaves. He must think the West is composed of simpletons.
Islam claims that it reformed Arabs from burying their live girl babies in the sand because of poverty. What it did was promote wealth through raiding, plundering, enslavement, and killing of unbelievers – and left the dead children of unbelievers in the sand.
Iranians are Persians not Arabs. Persia was where scientific inquiry flourished until Islam snuffed it out. Why do they allow themselves to be ruled by a primitive, uncouth, Arab religion?

Khamenei: ‘When Islam Dominated Non-Muslim Regions, Followers of Other Religions Were Grateful’
………………..
Yeah–that’s why Spain, Portugal, southern France, southern Italy, Sicily, the Balkans, Greece, Israel and others fought–sometimes for centuries–to get out from under the crushingly oppressive Muslim heel…

But we need attack first then rest is done by the people of Iran. Islam out of Iran now. We refer it to Islam of Impostor. Javad Zarif and Rohani both got fatter and thicker neck. Where is food for people of Iran. Why do you send missiles new high tech to all terrorists in the world. Where is my oil? Death to Khamanie and Donkeyoallahs, IRGC and all the gangs rules in Iran.

I am no fan of any nations selling arms to any Muslim nations–suicidal insanity.
Check Burry says
I agree, if the F35 and variants are so good, why sell to what could become enemies. Friendly as they may seem now.

gravenimage,
To your point, the Iranian air force in 2019 still operates around 24 F-14 Tomcats that they acquired from the United States in the mid-1970s before the islamic revolution.

This new photo of Rohani and Javad Zarif so thick neck… Shame on of them we hope they get cancer from nuclear sites and die like Khamanie. Still no showing him. He is out of pictures. The mullahs all see show times and play boys as well. They are perverted Abu Bakr like Impostor Mohamed.. They sale thier infants to Arabs for money …These are real psycho.
Jayell says
Should that read ‘When Islam Dominated Non-Muslim Regions, Followers of Other Religions Were Grateful – or else’ ?’
Check Burry says
Exactly, they didnt have a choice, join or die, same old, same old.
newsupplements says
That must have been why the oppression got so bad that they were forced to take up arms in Spain, In Italy, in Russia and in parts of Germany to drive them off their land back to the sand. They really got pissed off with forced servitude, rape of their children and their usurped property, not to mention the crap food they were left with once the Muslims had taken and conquered their land from within in the time honoured multi-cultural way! known as your culture is what I say it is now that I have bred you out of your house and home.

He must have read a book written by a Jew or a female in western academe. Wonder which one. Violet Moller’s “The Map of Knowledge”? Alan Mikhail’s “God’s Shadow”? Maybe Mark Cohen, “Under Crescent and Cross”.
gravenimage says
Or one of those books touting what a paradise of tolerance Spain was under Islamic conquest…
Giacomo Latta says
Hmm, he must have studied at a liberal Western university.
Kesselman says
Look at the unstoppable Hijrah, Muslim emigration to spread Islam, the native Europeans are experiencing now. Muslims by the millions are embedded everywhere in Europe, wreaking havoc daily.—This fact courage the sup leader to tell the old lies about Islam’s tolerance which, of course, is tayyiqa and bull-sheet.
Val says
Khamenei should be ashamed of the Arabification of Persia. He knows Arabs choose their prophets based who who commits the most murders, rapes, and robberies. Yet still the Iranian government enforces a strange totalitarian religion from Arabia. Why? How embarrassing.
Stephen O'mara says
So, was this infidel ”gratitude noticed before or after your Muslim armies burnt the national libraries of the invaded and ravaged countries and slaughtered their defenceless people.
OLD GUY says
Khamenei is delusional, Islam is the vary worst of societies to live in unless you are a muslim male of importance, then you can rape, enslave and murder at will. If you want to check out living under a dictatorship simply visit if they will let you in one of the many islamic countries.
Ren says
Islam is BS. No one wants to be dominated by islam.
