Where did Mohammad-Hossein Sepehr get this idea? From passages such as this: “Drive them out from where they drove you out” (Qur’an 2:191). It is not fact, but propaganda fiction, that Israel drove the “Palestinians” out, as The Palestinian Delusion proves. But those who believe that their ancestors were driven out think that they have a responsibility before Allah to drive out those who took their land. That’s the declaration of war that makes it impossible for many of the neighboring Muslim Arabs to live in peace with Israel or accept its existence, as they believe they have a religious duty to destroy it.
“IRGC General Mohammad-Hossein Sepehr: Iran Has Built Islamic Resistance Bases From Tehran To Baghdad, Beirut, Syria, Yemen, Horn Of Africa, In Order To Fight The Cancerous Growth That Is Israel; We Have A Religious Duty To Annihilate Israel,” MEMRI, May 6, 2021:
IRGC General Mohammad-Hossein Sepehr, commander of the Iranian Central Training Base, said that Iran has built Islamic resistance bases from Tehran to Baghdad, to Beirut, to Syria, to Sanaa in Yemen, and all the way to the Horn of Africa in order to fight the cancerous and pustular growth that is Israel. He made his remarks in a public address that was aired on Dena TV (Iran) on May 6, 2021….
Mohammad-Hossein Sepehr: “We see that the command of Imam [Khomeini about Quds day] has given rise to the formation of an Islamic resistance front that spans from Tehran to Baghdad, to Beirut, to Syria, to Sanaa in Yemen, and all the way to the Horn of Africa. It has built Islamic resistance bases all over the world, in order to fight the cancerous and pustular growth [that is Israel].

“Israel’s crimes are many: The massacre of the Palestinians ever since the [Israeli] rule was established, the creation of Wahhabism, the creation of Baha’ism, the creation of Freemasonry, the birth of ISIS… All those were, and still are, part of the main strategy of global Zionism.

“We have a religious duty to defend the world of Islam. We have a religious duty to act against Israel and annihilate it. This is the command and strategy of both imams of the Revolution. This is the command and strategy of the Prophet Muhammad and of God Himself.”
Stephen Grant says
Then Israel will have no choice other than all out nuclear war on terrorism. If Israel is destroyed with all its people then all those who attack it’s existence will end up as glass.

The Jews have a religious duty to exterminate the seed of Amalek. Ir;s in the Bible.

Any “religious duty” that demands genocide must be ferociously opposed by all who believe in the right of a people to exist.
The Israeli’s are not calling for the genocidal destruction of the Palestinian people. It is only the Islamic countries that are calling for genocide and the complete annihilation of the Jewish people in Israel.
Those of us who believe in freedom must stand with Israel against the evil of genocide.
We failed the Jews when Hitler and his fascists conducted a genocide of the Jews, we must not fail them this time.
Bob C says
didn’t some folks think this same way in 1099?
Kesselman says
You just signed your own death sentence, general Mohammed-Hossein Sepehr. Not necessarily by Mossad or any exterior force but from within. Thoughts and wishes of this scale don’t get unpunishable.
Infidel says
According to the sunnis, who are several times your population, Iran, you are the unislamic one who needs to be annihilated. Why don’t you fight a war against the Turkic and Arab countries to determine who represents true islam? ?
don vito says
These k-9 hating saracen can define their striving, and define what victory looks like. Too bad the Western leadership can’t. Defeating saracens in a battle, or war, isn’t victory, it just postpones the clash to another day. To vanquish the saracens would look like what? I think Western leaders are afraid to imagine the action needed to attain victory over the saracens, because our morality prevents doing what is needed for victory, our virtue over islam is more pure, we are civilized and certain things we (the Western Leadership) won’t do. All of these narratives are/have been/ will be used to justify inaction and/or submission. Lest we forget our leaders are characterizes as, traitors, sympathizers, collaborators, corrupt, liars, vain, and criminal.

They clearly say “We have a religious duty to annihilate Israel”. A religious duty!
What else needs to happen until we finally see the enormous evil of Islam?
Walter Sieruk says
When that Muslim Iranian general declared “We have a religious duty to act against Israel and annihilate it.” He The awful vicious spiteful Muslim hate and malice against the Jewish against the Jewish people and the State of Israel. he was reflecting the teachings of the Qu ‘ran
For the tragic reality is that such malicious Islamic mindset , with murderous intent is sanctioned in the “holy book” of Islam the Koran. Which instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam. As found in, for example, 4: 89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. In other words the Koran inspires and causes such hideous violence.
Furthermore, another role the Qu ‘ran has in such deadly Islamic terror attacks in the Jewish nation of Israel is that the Koran contains many negative about the Jewish people. The reason that the Qu ‘ran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first.
Later when they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Qu ‘ran. Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Koran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60.
Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [K.J.V.]
