Let Iran have the bomb!

Published

on

I detest Iran’s dark embrace of the Hitlerian regime of Damascus, but Tehran does have a right to possess a Nuclear deterrent.

I, too, shouted “Istiklal Azadee, Hukamati Islamee” (independence, freedom, Islamic government) and “tau Margi Shahi Kha’en, Nehzat Idameh Durad” (until the death of the treacherous Shah, the revolution will continue.” That was in the late 1978, when I, along with the bulk of Muslims around the world, Sunnis and Shiites,  gave the late Imam Khomeini  and his companions the benefit of the doubt.  We thought the Sun of Islam would rise anew from the land of Abu Hamed al-Ghazali, Umar Khayyam and Saadi Shirazi. We were tragically wrong, as the Grand Ayatollah soon took off the outer cloak of true, authentic Islam in favor of the repugnant Turban of schismatic sectarianism. (See my book  “My story with the Shiites: Major Contradiction in the Shiite Imami Religion.”

  I didn’t immediately lose the hope for some reforms that would correct the course of the revolution which was facing overwhelming challenges from a huge cacophony of internal and external enemies at the top of which stood the United States and Israel, as well as a number of despicable Arab regimes that  were at Washington’s beck and call.  But as the years passed, Iran’s sectarian character became hard to hide and harder to defend.

The Iranian intervention in Syria

 The brutal ugliness of Iran’s face became quite conspicuous to everyone, friend and foe alike, when the clerical regime in Tehran trained,  funded and dispatched more than 50 Shiite militias to help the Butcher of Damascus exterminate his own people, including women and children. Read my article: Is Iran trying to create another Israel in Syria.

These mostly ignorant zealots hailing from as far as Herat, Mazari Sharif and Karachi were told that they were going to fight the enemies of Imam Hussein and that whoever died of them  in battle would go straightforward to paradise in the company of Imam Ali, Imam Hussein and Fatema, the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him).! Needless to say, this perfidy by the regime in Tehran was a slap to world Muslims as well as to free and honest men and women around the world.

Bashar Assad is not really Shiite. He belongs to an esoteric sect called Alawites, which believes that Ali, the Prophet Muhammad’s son-in-law and the fourth of the rightly-guided Caliphs who ruled the fledgling Islamic state following the Prophet’s death , was God-incarnate, which constitutes absolute blaspheme, apostasy and polytheism in Islam.

 So what would make the most revolutionary Muslim country embrace a decidedly nefarious mass murderer and certified war criminal, who murdered hundreds of thousands of Syrians, destroyed Syria and expelled more than 50% of Syrians to the four corners of the world, all in order to remain in power for a few more years? Read my article: The Syrian regime must change, or it will be changed

The answer is sad and lamentable. The  clerics of Tehran had no moral credentials whatsoever and apparently hated Sunni Muslims much more than they loved their own children.

The Bomb

Having elucidated my views on the cleric’s regime in Tehran, I believe Muslims, notwithstanding the regime’s many days of infamy,  ought to be fair and just with regard to the Iranian nuclear program. This is in line with the Qur’an, God’s final revelations to mankind. Which instructs us to be fair and just in all circumstances even toward foes and enemies:

O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do. (al-Ma’eda, V. 8)

Iran has absolute right to possess Nuclear weapons

In my opinion, Iran has an absolute right to possess a nuclear deterrent. For that matter, I believe Major Muslim countries such as Egypt and Turkey should possess a deterrent.  Israel has had a nuclear deterrent since the late 1950s, with the help of France and the US. Indeed, why should a small and notoriously- bellicose country, like Israel, have over 90 nuclear warheads whereas a country such as Egypt with a 100  million –plus population, or Iran, with more than 80 million people, are forbidden to have the bomb?

Besides, how should Iran defend her people if Israel decided to drop a nuclear device on Tehran or Mashhad or Shiraz? Who would, indeed who could restrain, let alone deter Israel then? America? You must be kidding!

The possession by Iran of a nuclear deterrent would probably mitigate Israel’s  insolence,  megalomania and arrogance of power, but nothing else.  Indeed, the very maximal potential  level of deterrence Iran would possibly reach is what is known as “Mutual Assured Destruction, or MAD.

But MAD is not necessarily a mad concept after all. Indeed, most strategic experts attribute the non-occurrence  of a nuclear Armageddon between the West and the former Soviet Union to the MAD theory and rational fear of humanity’s extinction.

The Ukrainian crisis

It is widely believed that the Ukrainian leadership is more or less remorseful for giving up its nuclear arsenal following the downfall of the Soviet Union. The argument made by some Ukrainian military leaders, and privately by President Zelinsky,  is that Russia wouldn’t have invaded a nuclear-armed  Ukraine in broad daylight and in full view of NATO and the West?  I realize that it would be  “probably unwise” to take this argument for granted. None the less, it is true that the world has been transformed into a real, brutal jungle thanks to the rapacity, arrogance and criminality of the big powers,  especially the US and Russia.

I do believe a nuclear Iran would be an immensely destabilizing factor especially  at the regional level.  I know Israel, which has been demonizing and vilifying Iran since the downfall of the Shah, is in no mood to listen to a voice of reason and sanity regarding Iran. This is because the apartheid entity is hell-bent on retaining and expediting its belligerent regional hegemony.

Arabs have only themselves to blame

 I could anticipate that Saudi Arabia would have to choose between developing or buying! its own nuclear deterrent, or embarking on a road leading to a cordial normalization and full alliance with Israel in exchange for placing the bloated kingdom under Israel’s nuclear umbrella.

There is already a strong proclivity by the de facto King, Muhammed Bin Salman (MBS) to go in this direction. But Israel is notoriously parsimonious, and an insolent Zionist leadership would most likely insist that MBS must recognize Jerusalem (East and West) as Israel’s united and eternal capital. So, once again the Palestinians would be the main losers if Israel had her way.   

This is the price the Arabs of our time would have to pay for succumbing to their treacherous “rulers” who acquire their “legitimacy” from Israel’s guardian-ally,  America, which doesn’t give a damn about Arabs and Muslims, or their rights, honor and dignity (END).

Muslims have more reasons to hate the US than the other way around

Published

Muslims hate the US

I don’t think that most Muslims hate ordinary Americans who believe in the general principle of “live and let live.” Moreover I don’t think that most Americans would unhesitatingly embrace Israeli Nazism if they had the chance to know the truth about Israel e.g. that it is a criminal state par excellence based on ethnic cleansing land theft and racist and religious discrimination.

Unfortunately most Americans are spoon-fed Jewish propaganda from early childhood. This creates a virtual reality in America’s collective mind about Israel a virtual reality that is nearly completely disconnected from the real reality in Israel-Palestine.

For example many Americans are made to think that Israel and America have much in common in terms of democracy. However the truth is that democracy in Israel is more or less confined to Jews while non-Jews are systematically discriminated against. Their land is confiscated their homes are demolished and their rights and dignity are trampled upon.

And when they seek redress at Jewish courts they discover that non-Jews can’t possibly hope for true justice and equality under Jewish rule. Ask non-Jewish Americans who have been living in Israel and you will hear a lot of hair-raising stories about the Israeli “democracy.”

Some Americans are so brainwashed that they are willing to claim that Muslims hate America for its freedoms.  This is what Georg W. Bush probably the most ignorant President America has ever had once claimed.

The truth of the matter however is that most Muslims hate the US government for embracing tyrannical Arab and Muslim regimes that torment their own people by denying them natural freedoms and civil liberties as well as the right to freely elect their own governments. This is in addition of course to backing and supporting Israel’s Nazi-like policies including ethnic cleansing and settlement expansion at the expense of the native Palestinians.

It is really scandalous that while Americans boasts bout their First Amendment freedoms successive American governments have consistently embraced despotic regimes abroad. In many instances the US intervened either brazenly or behind the scenes to destabilize or overthrow democratically elected governments such as in Iran Chile and the occupied Palestinian territory.

Of courser America’s days of infamy are too numerous to be counted. For example we all tend to view Adolph Hitler as the ultimate embodiment of evil. However it is historically true that the US its allies Stalin Mao murdered more people than the Third Reich ever did.

America wanted to be looked upon as a moral example to be followed. But the beacon of light eventually turned into a ruthless beastly power where military might took priority over moral power.

Take for example America’s stand over Israel. For decades the United States enabled Israel to violate every international law and norm and commit every conceivable crime under the sun including murdering children by raining on them White phosphorus.

This is the same America that allows herself to judge the world for human rights violations while enabling Israel diplomatically politically and mainly militarily to pursue decidedly Nazi-like policies against the Peoples of the Middle East.

Watch the ongoing genocidal onslaught which against our helpless and unprotected people in the Gaza Strip. Some of you might be prompted to think that I am indulging in excessive exaggeration when I speak of a genocidal onslaught.

But I am not. Otherwise, how else can we describe a condition where hundreds of ultra-advanced war planes rain missiles and laser-guided bombs from high altitudes on apartment buildings, homes, and civilian neighborhoods packed with men, women and children? Yet, this is exactly what Israel has done¸ murdering , maiming and incinerating thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians and utterly destroying tens of thousands of buildings.

Israel effectively destroyed Gaza, murdering and maiming untold numbers of civilians. Gaza, more or less, became the Dresden of Palestine. And the whole world looked on rather passively as if the killing-field and the shockingly pornographic destruction of life and property were occurring on a distant galaxy. we are not really talking about war, even an asymmetrical war. We are actually talking about a real massacre, a massacre that is reminiscent of the time when the Nazis ganged up on European Jewry 70 years ago.

The macabre scenes of decapitated and badly-mutilated children were too shocking to be described in words. Reporters at the site of the carnage lost their composure and collapsed as they couldn’t cope with the gruesomeness of the pornographic bloodbath.

In 2006, the Nazi government of Israel dropped 2-3 million cluster bomblets over Lebanon enough to kill or maim 2-3 million Lebanese children. And instead of denouncing the manifestly nefarious act the US government declared that “Israel has the right to defend itself.”

Today there is an anti-Islamic hysteria in the United States. The main reason for this hysteria is the fact that the United States can’t live normally with itself without an external enemy. In short there has to be an enemy in order to keep the American psyche intact. There has to be an enemy in order to keep the military industrial complex functioning. In short capitalism can’t function without war.

In fact Muslims don’t view themselves as enemies of the United States as the vast bulk of Muslims are peaceable people who are mainly interested in the pursuance of their daily life enhancing their daily living improving their standard of living and making ends meet.

Yes there are violent groups here and there but these are tiny groups which in no way represent the Muslims of the world.

I think many Americans are ignorant of these facts. I also think that many other Americans would condemn Muslims right or wrong. I am  talking about people who would burn the Muslim Holy scripture the Quran in order to highlight their hatred of Islam a religion with more than 1.6 billion  people.

Well to those I say one thing: the dogs will keep barking and the caravan will keep going.

Besides if you have one reason to hate us we have a thousand reasons to hate you.

None the less unlike you we are not willing to allow our primitive impulses to decide our behaviors. Our religion the source of our morality and behavior doesn’t allow us to behave the way they do.

This is why we will not burn copies of the New Testament we will not attack churches and we will not call Christianity bad names.

It is often claimed that the religion Jesus founded is based on Love. But any fleeting view of your “religion” caricatures a hate-based cult that has very little to do with Jesus and the authentic messages he preached.

Did Jesus ever call children “murderers” as you did recently in Texas? In fact I dare say that you and people who subscribe to your cultist hatefulness are a cancer upon the conscience of Christ.

So you hate us because of the 9/11 events. Well 99% of Muslims condemned in the strongest terms these terrorist acts. And we are sorry for the umpteenth time for the death of dozens of hundreds of innocent Americans including Muslims in these terrorist attacks.

None the less your democratic elected government has been responsible for the death of millions of Muslims. In Iraq alone the United States has killed or caused the death of at least two million Muslims in the past two decades. Hundreds of thousands of other Muslims have been killed in Afghanistan. These are just two examples of America’s genocidal wars against the Muslim world.

Hence if you have the right to cite one 9/11 we can cite hundreds and thousands of 9/11s. And don’t you ever think that your lives are worth more than our lives. All human beings were created by the same God and are equal if only because there is no such a thing as a lesser God.

One day the oppressed will have their day and there will be no spin no hasbara and no propaganda.  And the New York Times and Fox News  and AIPAC and all other organs of lie  will have been evaporated into nonexistence.

God is just.

Jewish Nazism is reality not fiction

Jewish Nazism

I realize that the title of this article might offend and provoke many people, especially those adhering to the Judaic faith. I do know that Jews, like everyone else, are not carbon copies of each other. There are many conscientious Jews who believe in fairness and basic human equality regardless of color, race and faith, and strongly reject racism and chauvinism in any form. Also, I will no longer be using euphemistic language in reference to Jewish Nazism especially in light of the latest Dresden-like bombing of Gaza by the Judeo-Nazi state also known as Israel.

Read Also: No forgiveness for Jewish Nazism

These people I salute for their rectitude, humanity and morality. They are our natural partners for peace and a better tomorrow for our children and their children.

But there are numerous other Jews who don’t believe in human equality and justice for all. Indeed, there are many Jews, e.g. followers of the hateful Chabad sect, who don’t even ascribe full humanity to people who are not members of the Jewish faith.

Needless to say, the venomous ideology adopted by these racist fanatics has much in common with Aryan Nazism.

Read Also: The futility of counting on the U.S. to pressure Israel

What else can be said to describe an ideology that teaches adherents that the life of a non-Jew has no sanctity and that goyem can be murdered without the slightest compunction or feeling of guilt?

The shocking reactions by the Israeli government, rabbis, and community leaders to the latest abduction, murder and subsequent burning of a Palestinian kids in Gaza are very telling.

In a certain sense, these reactions and attitudes can be compared to the reactions and attitudes of many Germans to the pogroms carried out against Jews by the Nazis prior to and during the Second World War.

The gleefully despicable embrace of the brashly hideous crime by the bulk of the Israeli Jewish society underscores the fact that millions of Jews in Israel and abroad do harbor certain Nazi tendencies, especially against the Palestinian people. These tendencies are too real and too tangible to be overstated.

However, we must call the spade a spade, even at the expense of upsetting the huge Zionist propaganda machine which habitually alters the black into white and the blatant big lie into a “truth” glorified by sheepish westerners who have long been brainwashed into believing that Israel is a modern, civilized and democratic state.

In the final analysis, when Jews (or anyone else) think, behave and act like the Nazis thought, behaved and acted, they simply become Nazis. Pure and simple.

Today, there are numerous Jews who openly call for the physical annihilation of Palestinians as retaliation for the abduction and killing of three Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Saber-rattling rabbis speak menacingly of the need to adopt “the Biblical way” to combat the Palestinians.

For those not versed in Jewish phraseology, “Biblical way” is euphemism for genocide.

Today, the Israeli media reported that some army personnel openly appealed to the government to “give us the green light to annihilate them.”!!!

Just read what thousands of Jewish youths have been writing on their Facebook pages! It is outrageous, disgusting and sheer evil.

To put it in a nutshell, Nazism is being regurgitated and exuded all over Israel. This is happening in broad daylight while professional liars like Binyamin Netanyahu are filling the ether with all sorts of shameless lies about Israel being victimized by the Palestinians.

Seventy-six years have passed since Kristalnacht. Today Jewish settlers in the west Bank, in close cooperation and coordination, with the Israeli army could very well carry out a huge pogrom against an innocent and helpless community which really finds itself very much in the same precarious and vulnerable position that European Jewry experienced prior to WWII.

I am not a prophet of doom and gloom, but the signs are unmistakably bleak.

A final point, the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are surviving thanks to the good-will of the international public opinion. Should the international community go into a brief slumber, God forbid, Israel and its own Wehrmacht, SS, Gestapo and Hitler Youth might embark on the unthinkable. Don’t you ever say Jews can’t carry out a holocaust against their victims, the Palestinians?

Words can kill; words do kill.

Unfortunately, the chilling words we are hearing from many Israeli Jews these days leave no room for optimism.

I’m most definitely Palestinian!

Palestinian

In-your-face brutality, unending genocide, unending atrocities, mass slaughter directed against one’s people, one’s brethren, causes the most strong and unimaginable reaction, in response to the oppressor’s horrendous and barbaric deeds. The autocratic, despotic, tyrannical Israeli-hand systematically and with pre-planned engineered precision, massacres, annihilates, eliminates the young and the old Palestinian alike – in the most inhumane and most despicable of ways. Slaughters men, women and children in broad daylight. Bares its blood-thirsty intentions, its monstrous objectives in the most unashamed of ways. Mercy to none – not to the living, not to the severely wounded and dying; no mercy even on the dead or their lifeless remains.

The constant fear of being bombed anytime, rained down with missiles and all manner of munitions from within the vast arsenal of the Israeli side; definitely stockpiled high, with enough buffer inventory of munitions, deadly and lethal stockpile, to blow the receiving side multiple times over; so as not to leave a “shred” of evidence of your original physical-self on the surface of the land, which your people, generations and generations of your ancestors, since time immemorial have dwelt on.

Read Also: The age-old Palestinian-fear (of the Israeli thirst)

The inexplicable terror of seeing Israeli drones constantly “floating about” unopposed, in the skies above your unsheltered head. Drones with eyes like that of a greedy dog. Electronic pixels wanting to cast an evil eye, an evil-spell upon your very being. Eyeing upon your existence, wanting to blow-up, tear-up your physical being, seemingly wanting to devour your flesh and body; all by way of a few computer clicks / even the manual computer-clicks now, seemingly, are being replaced by more automated ways of executing these most evil deeds. Software, coded software, written programs to execute on the most Evil-intentions. Evil-intentions of the most evil amongst the human race.

Everybody knows, the Israelis have exterminated with their weaponry, uncountable numbers of Palestinians across a 40, 50km stretch of land, in front of the whole world, over the past so many weeks and months. And retain the capacity, the ability, the power, the means to slaughter, devour many, many more innocent ones, day in, day out.

The Israelis possess American technology, American weapons – the bedrock of their faith, the foundation stone of their belief in their never-ending invincibility. The Palestinians have their faith in Allah; that Allah will redeem his faithful people, from the clutches of these war-mongers, who rain down terror, day and night on the most innocent, the most vulnerable.

Most definitely, the Moslem spirit in me, the Palestinian spirit in me is not defeated; quite to the contrary, it’s rekindled, stronger than ever.

I’m definitely Palestinian, in every sense of the word, and Allah will save us, Allah will have mercy on us, Allah will guide us.
