Iran’s leaders are nuts!

Posted on 22. Mar, 2010 by scott in Social commentary, political munglings

I fully intended to write about the health care bill today.

However, reading in The Economist this morning I found out that the ‘authorities’ in Iran had sentenced six people to death.  These six took part in the opposition demonstrations in December as a result of the fraudulent -re-election of President Ahmadenijad.

I don’t know how it is even possible to consider Iran a democracy of any sorts when their leaders sanction such irresponsible and lunatic behavior.  Killing people because they oppose the current  ’nuclear seeking’ regime?  Where is the voice of reason in Iran?

What disturbs me even more is that the sentence is to be carried out for ‘waging war on God.’

That makes me physically sick.

Don’t these Iranian leaders — the supreme of which is also the religious leader Ayotallah Kahmenei — realize that no one accepts them as legitimate?  Outside their tightknit and religiously insane military cabal anyway.  These are the hypocrites  who preach the supremacy of the Qur’an and the teachings of their great prophet Muhammad.  They clearly don’t read their own scriptures or live the prophet’s teachings.

Islam is particularly clear on the issue discussed here.  Let me quote from Surah 2 verse 256 —  ”There is no compulsion in religion.”

How clear is that?

As a bell you bearded nut cases in the fancy houses on the outskirts of Teheran.  You condemn Jews though you know none nor have never studied their history — one that is so closely linked to your own.  You call America the ‘Great Satan’ though you have never visited nor studied our history of religious freedom nor our truly democratic ways.

Having read the Qur’an several times, and in several different translations from the doctrinal Arabic, I realize that there is much therein contained that is easy to misinterpret.  But that one verse partially quoted above is as clear as glass.  No possibility of misinterpreting that.

Yet, Iran’s crazy leaders have publicly stated that they want to wipe Israel off the map, kill all Jews and destroy America (and all the western world to boot).

Let me give you another quote to further indicate how wicked these Iranian leaders are (even within the understanding of their own religion).  This comes from Surah 29 verse 46 (from the official King Fahd edition published in Madina K.S.A. in case you are interested) “argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) unless it be in a way that is with good words and in good manner . . . except him such of them that do wrong.”

Finally Surah 9 verse 115 “And Allan will never lead a people astray after he has guided them until he makes clear to them as to what they should avoid.”

Pretty simple stuff.  What to avoid?  Forcing ‘Gods’ word or arguing with Jews and Christians.

Right from their Book folks.

These ‘heavies’ in Iran are flat out of their mind.  Certifiable.  Ready for the Psych ward.

So, we have to understand that Iran’s leaders are evil ‘men’ (they have little or no respect for women) with evil intent . . . especially according to their own written scripture and faith.

Can they be trusted.

Not just no, but heck no!

Yet every day they are pushing Iran closer toward nuclear arms.

What does the current administration do?

Nothing that bothers Iran’s leaders in the least.

Oh, sure,  Obama and his motley crew occasionally offer a few words of chastisement but nothing more.

What happened to the vaunted deadline of December 31, 2009 for Iran to ‘come clean’ on their nuclear ambitions?

Nothing.  Dangit.

China and Russia don’t care.  They love to see Iran’s intimidation of the ‘great satan’ and they will never (think of Putin and Wen Jiabao) willingly oppose any nation that creates havoc for Americans.

We are going to have to do something unilaterally (well with some help from a few Europeans and of course Israel).  I don’t think we have a choice . . . though I am not sure exactly what.

From what I do know the majority of Iranians (or Persians as they have been known for millenia) are good people, they want freedom, they want to be part of the 21st century and they don’t want crazy and evil leaders who brazenly kill the opposition to get their own way.

And it can’t be any worse than the fact that they do it in the name of their ‘God.’

I guess I’m ranting now but I hope you are getting this picture.  It ain’t pretty or encouraging folks.

Scary as all get out.

Now that health care is out of the way, I sure hope President Obama turns to Iran (along with unemployment of course).

I hope to have my views on the health care issue solidified in a day or two.  Stay logged on.
