My latest in PJ Media:
On Saturday, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted: “Martyr Soleimani is an eternal reality that will live on forever. His assassins – including Trump & the like – will go down in history’s garbage bin, but of course after receiving retribution in this world for the crime they committed.” This is a clear threat, but Twitter has not banned or suspended Khamenei’s account. After all, he was threatening Donald Trump, and as far as Twitter is concerned, what could be wrong with that?
Khamenei was referring, of course, to Qasem Soleimani, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force commander who was killed in a Trump-ordered American airstrike on Jan. 3, 2020. Soleimani was killed near Baghdad International Airport shortly after an Iranian-backed militia attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, as a clear warning to Iran not to continue to target Americans and American installations.
The Islamic Republic, however, has consistently portrayed the killing of Soleimani as an unprovoked, gratuitous strike by the Great Satan. Yet the Supreme Leader’s belligerence is longstanding. Before Soleimani was killed, he was just as hostile to the United States and American leaders as he is now. Khamenei has also threatened Trump before. Iran’s state-controlled Ahlul Bayt News Agency reported on Jan. 23, 2021, that the Supreme Leader’s official website “posted a photo-montage of former US President Donald Trump playing golf under the shadow of a drone, vowing to avenge the assassination of Iran’s Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.”
Khamenei also thundered in December 2020, “Revenge is certain.” He added, “The assassin of Soleimani and the one who ordered the murder should be punished. As an esteemed person said, Soleimani’s shoe is worth more than the assassin’s head and even decapitation of the assassin will not compensate for Soleimani’s shoe; but they did the wrong thing. They should be punished. The one who ordered and the assassin should know that they should be punished at any time possible.”
Trump was a favored Khamenei target even before Soleimani was killed. In February 2019, the Supreme Leader declared to a military gathering that “as long as America continues its wickedness, the Iranian nation will not abandon ‘Death to America.’ ‘Death to America’ means death to Trump, (National Security Adviser) John Bolton, and (Secretary of State Mike) Pompeo. It means death to American rulers.” Oh, well, then, that’s okay — at least with Twitter.
In May 2018, the Supreme Leader said in a speech, “A few days ago, Trump wrote a letter to the leaders of some Persian Gulf countries, to which we have access. In the letter, he indicated that he spent $7 trillion on these countries, so they must adhere to his orders. Well, Trump, you have spent all this money to dominate Syria and Iraq, but you couldn’t do it; you will go to hell with your failures. … This man’s corpse will also be worm food while IRI [the Islamic Republic of Iran] stands strong.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I would almost think that maybe Twitter is working with the CIA on providing intelligence on this Islamic filth… Then I remember Jack Dorsey… Nose ring replete with Osama beard… Nah…. Never…. And his replacement is worse.
mortimer says
This a perfect example of the Red-Green Axis of Evil. The collaboration between Leftistist-Corporate-Globalists and Islam is in the focus here. How can they deny that they are in cahoots?
The Western Corporate-Globalist-Leftists are in bed with fascist Islam. That actually makes them Fascists as well.
Heil Aytollah! Heil Corporations! Heil Google! Heil Twatter!
Wellington says
Twitter is anti-American, anti-liberty, and one knows this or should know this by now.
Westman says
The louder it squawks about Soleimani, the more frightened it is for itself.
Soleimani is gone and Israel is coming.
Wellington says
+1—and screw the Iranian regime.
Keith O says
Me thinks these brain damaged mullah’s should be more worried about the peasants they rule over with an iron fist.
Under their rule Iran has gone backwards at a great rate of knots and the people have finally had a gutful of living under the heel of these scum.
All this crap about “the great Satan” & “death to America” is a smoke screen to try and hold onto power.
mortimer says
Twitter is globalist. Globalism is treason to American values.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“Soleimani’s shoe is worth more than the assassin’s head and even decapitation of the assassin will not compensate for Soleimani’s shoe”
So how much is Qasem Soleimani’s show worth? (And why just one shoe? Where did he lose his other shoe?) Where is his shoe now? Who owns it? Is Soros rich enough to buy it?
gregbeetham says
In a sense it’s probably a good thing that Twitter leaves the murderous threats from the supreme leader of Iran in full view for all to see, it exposes and confirms to reasonable people what the real religion of peace stands for, hate first and foremost, the satanic verses compile the scripture of hate and uttered by a loathsome creature, uttered actually by many loathsome creatures down through the ages.

Iran’s Khamenei Threatens Trump on Twitter, Twitter Yawns
……………
Say anything critical of Islam and you may get banned–but threaten to assassinate an American president and you’re good. Twitter–and Facebook and other social media–are just appalling in their appeasement of Islamic violence.
Wellington says
Facebook and Twitter are both enemies of America and Western Civilization. Too bad so many, whether by way of ignorance, apathy, evil complicity (N.B., complicity with evil is the worst ignorance of all so, anyone, don’t tell me yet again that evil people know exactly what they are doing—I KNOW that already for God’s sake and so quit making, if you will, this errant statement), et al. still don’t know this.
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
Melc says
Correct. I just quoted a fact about Islam and Twitter deplatformed me.
No way an I going to apologise. Screw them fascist bastards.

Ot:
Remember Horn Lake, Mississippi?
“The city of Horn Lake, Mississippi, has been ordered to permit two Muslim men to build a new mosque, as well as banned from delaying permits to do so.
U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills filed a consent decree Monday in favor of the plaintiffs, Maher Abuirshaid and Riyadh Elkhayyat, for whom the American Civil Liberties Union filed a discrimination lawsuit for two months ago. The consent decree was filed with agreement from both plaintiffs and city officials.
The lawsuit claimed that when the city denied a zoning request for what would become the first mosque in DeSoto County, Mississippi, Horn Lake officials had done so due to anti-Muslim prejudice.”

A mosque is NOTHING LIKE A CHURCH – Sam Solomon, former professor of Islamic Law
Mosques: Learning Curve Needed
https://gatesofvienna.net/2019/02/mosques-learning-curve-needed/
somehistory says
Absolutely true. A church is for people to go and learn how to be better people and to treat others with respect and learn to “love one’s neighbor.”
Whereas a mozlum barracks is a forward fort in enemy territory where mozlums go to learn hatred and war against the people who would be their “neighbors.”
Alfredo says
Absolutely true!
A mosque is a forward fort in enemy territory.
“Dar Al Harb.”
The House of War.
De ja vu all over again…
Muhammadans consider any land not under their dominion enemy territory therefore the useful idiots (judge), who have no clue about their mindsets, are unwittingly aiding and abetting a fort to be built most likely with Saudi, Qatari or Kuwaiti money.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I’ve heard about this Mosque in Horn Lake Mississippi before. The thing is, there are no Muslims living there:
https://www.bestplaces.net/religion/city/mississippi/horn_lake
So is this intended to draw Muslims in to this town? Chilling, in any case.
gregbeetham says
They should then ask what’s wrong with having anti Muslim prejudice. It would seem to be a massively sensible idea from where I’m standing in view of the 40 thousand Muslim atrocities committed all over the world since 9/11 who in their right mind would want Muslims in their community.
Alfredo says
Twitter let’s this mohammadan terrorist spew his hateful venom.
For his ilk Suleimani wass a martyr.
All the people he killed are good deeds to the glory of his pagan god.
Twitter is a cesspool where the most depraved specimens feel right at home because they know it won’t do anything to censor them.
It is in allegedly neutral platforms like Twitter that anything anti-American is aproved. The Antifa thugs are OK. BLM is the darling of the platform, even if it has caused the deaths of hundreds of blacks. The looting and burning of many cities is celebrated as “peaceful protests”…
It is from places like Twitter where all that is anti-American, anti-Semitic, all that pushes Marxist and Islamic ideology is celebrated as good.
That is why that thug uttering death threats is not banned but given prominent play, because the death threats are directed against someone the denizens of that cesspool have a pathological hatred for.
gregbeetham says
The peaceful burning and looting BLM protestors should have been peacefully shot on sight.
