Iran still top state sponsor of terrorism, U.S. report says
7. “Bombings, assassinations, and hostage-taking are all part of the Iranian regime’s DNA, and no major government institution can be thought of as isolated from the use of terrorism as a form of statecraft.
8. …even Iranian officials have pointed to the intimate connections between paramilitary and diplomatic entities within the regime. In a recent interview with Iranian state media, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi declared that the Foreign Ministry, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security all pursue the same objectives.
9. In the wake of last year’s thwarted terror plots, an appropriate policy would involve dramatically expanding economic sanctions as well as expelling Iranian diplomats.”
Western Dealings With Iran Must Recognize The Extent Of Terrorist Threats
In light of these facts, and the title of the thread, one’s curiosity might be piqued as to who, or what,
the greatest threat.
That would be the individual and political party that serves at the beck and call of Iran, and has been the greatest enabler of this barbaric nation……
Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party....who fund and arm the 7th century savages.
Thing is, "people" like Pene do not care how many innocents are slaughtered as long as there is a Jew among the dead. Everything she posts is rooted in her all-consuming hate for the Jooo. Everything.
Let's go over the sort of things she does seem to support:
“Salafists adhere to a strict version of Islam,” the
report explains. “They do not believe in women’s rights and call for women to be clothed from head to toe. The Salafists adopt a hostile stance towards non-Muslims, saying they are not full citizens.”
Indeed, Sheikh Yasser al-Burhami has authored numerous fatwas—edicts based on Islamic scriptures—that demand hate and hostility for non-Muslims, most specifically the nation’s largest and most visible minority, the Christian Copts, whom Burhami has referred to as “
a criminal and infidel minority,” one that he regularly invokes “
Allah’s curse” on.
For example and in keeping with the doctrine of
al-wala’ w’al bara’ (“Loyalty and Enmity”), Burhami has called on all Muslims to hate all non-Muslims—going as far as to say that, although a Muslim man is permitted to marry Christian or Jewish women (
ahl al-kitab), he must make sure he still
hates them in his heart—and
show them this hate—because they are infidels; otherwise he risks compromising his Islam.
Burhami has
stated that churches—which he refers to as “places of polytheism (
shirk) and houses of infidelity (
kufr)”—must never be built in Egypt. He issued a separate
fatwaforbidding Muslim taxi and bus drivers from transporting Christian clergymen to their churches, an act he depicted as being “more forbidden than taking someone to a liquor bar.”
Burhami has also stated that Egypt’s Christians must pay
jizya—“protection” money in exchange for a measure of tolerance, a la Koran 9:29—or be fought to death.
Even so, the wily sheikh insists that circumstance is the ultimate deciding factor. In a 2013 video, Burhami
said that “Destroying churches is permissible—as long as the destruction does not bring harm to Muslims, …
Burhami
elaborated on the importance of circumstances in an earlier video:
The Jews of Medina represent a paradigm—laid by the prophet [Muhammad]—that shows how Muslims should deal with infidels. ….. Today in Gaza, we do not tell Muslims to launch rockets every day and so destroy the country, but we tell them “Refrain from action and respect the truce.” When the Prophet first arrived in Medina, he made conciliation with the Jews, conciliation without jizya [i.e., equal-term conciliation without forcing Jews to pay tribute and live as second-class dhimmis]—this is a pattern that can be followed whenever circumstances dictate…. Yes we can deal with those Christians [Egypt’s Copts] as the Jews were dealt with in Medina; it is an option. The Prophet made the Hudaybiya Reconciliation with the infidels and held a truce for ten years [which he abrogated on becoming stronger]; that is also an option…. So, it is legitimate to choose from examples set by the Prophet, depending on what suits the situation of Muslims now.
In plain language, when strong, wage jihad—including by destroying churches and forcing jizya/extortion money from non-Muslims; when weak, preach peace and coexistence, including with the “archenemy,” Israel.
Even so, according to the reinstated Salafi cleric, no circumstance ever requires Muslims to be on friendly terms with non-Muslims. Burhami has accordingly
issued fatwas banning Muslims from congratulating the nation’s Christian minorities during the latter’s religious holidays; banning Muslims from in anyway participating in such festivities; and, in an effort to further impoverish the nation’s Christians, banning Muslims from going to Christian businesses, pharmacies, hospitals, or any other place of business.
One can go on and on with Burhami’s fatwas—including calling for the
persecution of apostates, permitting Muslim husbands to
abandon their wives to rape, permitting “
marriage” to 12-year-old girls, and
banning Mother’s Day—but his quality should be evident by now.
Egypt’s Muslim leaders are not alone in their silence and/or complicity; as the Arab Weekly
explains, ..."
