US embassy move to Quds, war on Islam
2017-01-25
[Iran Press TV] Iraq's prominent Shia holy man, Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
... the Iranian catspaw holy man who was 22 years old in 2003 and was nearing 40 in 2010. He spends most of his time in Iran, safely out of the line of fire, where he's learning to be an ayatollah...
, has slammed the potential relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds as a "declaration of war on Islam."

"Transferring the US embassy to Jerusalem [al-Quds] would be a public and more-explicit-than-ever declaration of war against Islam," Sadr said in a Tuesday statement.

Touching on US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s pledges to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of the occupied territories, Sadr called for the "formation of a special division to liberate Jerusalem [al-Quds]."

Sadr urged the Cairo-based Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
as well as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to either take a decisive stand on the issue or be dissolved.

The Shia holy man also called "for the immediate closure of the US embassy in Iraq" if Washington goes ahead with the plan to move its embassy to Jerusalem al-Quds.

#4  Meh. Islam routinely declares it's at war with us -- even at mosques located in the US -- so it's time we returned the favor.

#3  Well, Tater, think of this as follows. So far only Israel was fighting you seriously: while USA was playing 'Nation Building', and Russia was pursuing limited strategic objectives. But Israel is not that strong - so, eventually, we'd have to exterminate you. USA, however, can afford 'whipping you back to your kennels'. So, with Trump, you get to live.

#2  You - especially you have no rights to Yerusalem, nor anyone else trying to keep it decimated.
