“O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends of one another. He among you who takes them for friends is of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.” (Qur’an 5:51)
“IRGC Commander-In-Chief General Hossein Salami: We Will Turn The Upcoming ‘World War’ Into A Graveyard For The Policies Of America, Israel, Saudi Arabia; There Is No Middle Ground; We Must Not Take Jews, Christians As Allies,” MEMRI, November 27, 2022:
IRGC Commander-in-Chief General Hossein Salami said in a November 27, 2022 speech aired on Ofogh TV (Iran) that Iran will soon witness the collapse of Israel and that it will turn the upcoming “world war” into a “graveyard” for the policies of America, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and their allies. He said that there is no middle ground and that one must choose between the “front of Islam” and the “front of heresy.” He added that the Quran instructs Muslims to “not take the Jews and Christians as allies.”
Hossein Salami: “Rest assured that we will witness the collapse of the Zionist regime, but we will never witness any serious damage to our revolution.

“We are aware that before the enemy leaves its den, before we set out from our homes, and before the swords clang, the enemy will not be defeated. Today, this opportunity presents itself. Our enemies – America, England, Israel, and the regime of the Saud clan – have left their dens and are overtly meddling in the domestic affairs of this country. We are determined to confront them. We will undoubtedly turn this new battlefield, this great front of great fitnah [strife], this world war, into a graveyard for the policies of America, Israel, and their allies.

“Today is the time to choose. We cannot take the middle ground. We must choose between the front of Islam and the front of heresy. The choice is clear. The choice is clear. The movement that has the support of America and Israel is a filthy and impure movement.

“The Quran instructs us… Note that I am quoting the Lord: ‘Oh you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians as your allies.'”
Wellington says
And it works the other way around, to wit, do not take Muslims as allies. Caveat emptor.

And if they claim to be allies, it will be takiyya.

Absolutely! That’s what I do in my life. If I am in a situation where I have to be cordial to muslims, it’s taquiya on my part, even though I’m not a muslim
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Fine. Then why is Iran in an alliance w/ Russia, which, the last I checked, is not islamic. Not even Vladimir Putin!
Westman says
The West has learned from experience that defeating Islamic regimes can be accomplished in short order, yet, the occupation of an Islamic nation has no more chance of success than herding cats. The Islamic hand is turned against all unbelievers and even some believers.
The US or Israel could remove the Iran’s leadership and it would quickly be replaced by another Islamic butcher regime. Only the citizens of Iran can remove the Mullahs from power and make it permanent. The disappearance of the Qom seminaries would also be a welcome improvement.
Yes, “The Choice Is Clear”. The Regime members are absolute liars, the worst of power mongers. They speak with stolen authority from Allah, quoting the Quran, while torturing, raping, and killing their critics. It is not possible that they believe in Allah and then use Islam as a weapon. They know they are frauds but the personal adulation from the frightened is addictive and they fear their retirement, as a tyrant, has risks of death.

Khomeini, who revived the political islam and emboldened the islamic jihadis all over the world was worse than Hitler.
Even the Sunni supremacist ISIS is an indirect production of Khomeini.
No other religion command it’s believers to demonize and dehumanize unbelievers, other fellow humans, as islam’s main book and hadith commands.
There is no real human rights in islamic countries. They don’t even accept the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Instead they accept the “Human Rights in Islam Decleration.”
James Lincoln says
Is it just me or does General Hossein Salami look just like the current Rob Reiner?
