Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Muslim Countries Must Unite in ‘Jihad' Against Israel and U.S., Says Iran's Supreme Leader
2020-02-09
[LI] Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday urged Muslim countries to support Palestinian "jihad" against Israel and the United States.

He called for "bold resistance by the Palestinian nation and groups in order to force out the Zionist enemy and the U.S. through jihad." He also urged "[A]ll Muslim nations and the world of Islam must support them too."

Khamenei reiterated his support for all Arab and jihadi groups waging a terror campaign against Israel, vowing to give them everything within the regime’s reach. Tehran already arms and funds the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas. Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror militia, which targets Israeli soldiers and civilians along Israel’s northern border, is a proxy terrorist group taking direct orders from Tehran.

"We believe that Palestinian armed organizations will stand and continue resistance and the Islamic Republic sees supporting Palestinian groups as its duty," Khamenei said in his speech marking the 41st anniversary of the Islamic takeover of Iran. "So it will support them however it can and as much as it can and this support is the desire of the Islamic system and the Iranian nation," he added.

The Times of Israel news website reported Khamenei’s latest remarks:

#9  Biggest problem is that Iran is not an Arab country.

Arabs don't really like Persians, who consider themselves superior and enslaved Arabs for centuries.

#8  Hello. under actual fundamentalist rule of islam they would.

In classical Islamic law, the major division are dar al-islam (lit. territory of Islam), denoting regions where Islamic law prevails,[3] dar al-sulh (lit. territory of treaty) denoting non-Islamic lands which have concluded an armistice with a Muslim government,[4] and dar al-harb (literarily territory of war), denoting adjoining non-Islamic lands whose rulers are called upon to accept Islam.[5]

Isn't this the muslim point we should be talking about?

#2  Muzzizm is its own worst enemy. Would that we had a George Kennan type telling US leaders to just stand back and let that dumpster burn.
