The Islamic Republic continues to try to frighten people into submission. This is the only tool they’ve got, as per the Qur’an: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60) “Iran Vows […]
Ebrahim Raisi, the president of Iran known best for his bloody past as a hanging judge, responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iranian dissidents, recently spoke by telephone to the Butcher of Damascus, President Bashar Al-Assad. More on the conversation can be found here: “Global Winds Blowing Away from ‘Arrogance, Zionism,’ Raisi Tells Assad,” […]
I hesitated quite a bit whether to publish the things that appear below because of the panic they might cause in Israel. However, in the Middle East environment and particularly in Iraq, these things are known and serve as a topic of open discussion among quite a few, so it is unthinkable that the Israeli […]
Last month, Iran’s judiciary chief reiterated that “removing one’s hijab is equivalent to showing enmity to the Islamic Republic,” and then instituted a new law to fine women 2.5 billion rials ($60,000) for flouting hijab rules. It’s all part of the Islamic Republic’s adherence to the Sharia, as it ramps up efforts even further to counter protests: […]
With the exception of the willfully blind, most people understand that the Palestinian “resistance” is a euphemism for efforts to obliterate of Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. This is also clear from the repeated chants: “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.” Now that Israel is undergoing internal […]
Khamenei sees the end of Israel in its political instability. Actually, whatever else it is, that instability is a manifestation of general confidence and the lessening of the idea among Israelis that the country is in imminent danger of being destroyed. There is no doubt, however, that the instability is also encouraging and emboldening Israel’s […]
One would think that in light of the constant Islamic rhetoric relating to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, that there would be an office in the State Department dedicated to understanding Islam and how Islamic teaching relates to the Muslim animus against Israel. One would think wrong. There isn’t even one person in the State Department who […]
“Dangerous territory that could trigger an Israeli military strike” When lefty administrations go after conservative Israeli governments, it’s often because they’re carrying out a preemptive strike on policy that the Israelis would otherwise oppose. The ‘New Middle East’ and the Iran Deal were class examples. Now the Iran Deal that refuses to die, no matter […]
Prof. Sadegh Zibakalam, once a supporter of the Islamic Republic, has been more and more outspoken in his criticism of the regime. Some Iranians in exile are still suspicious of him, given that he is apparently able to avoid punishment and even retains his post as a professor at Tehran University. More in Zibalakam’s recent […]
Mercy is not part of Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei’s world view or modus operandi. He works according to this principle: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60) “Iran’s judiciary chief threatens to […]
In Yemen, the civil war that has continued since 2015 is a proxy war between Iran, which supports with weapons and money the Shi’a Houthis, and Saudi Arabia, which not only supports with money and weapons the Sunni Arabs who control the ever-shrinking national government, but has sent 100 planes and 150,000 soldiers to fight […]
New in PJ Media: During the Trump administration, the Islamic Republic of Iran was feeling the effects of global sanctions and was severely restricted in its abilities to pursue its longstanding practice of engaging in and funding terrorism, either directly or through its proxies, such as Hamas and Hizballah. That was, however, a long time […]
Iran is the world’s representative Shia state. To expect the Islamic Republic to change course in order to suit infidel ideals of human rights is to expect its mullahs and ayatollahs to disobey the Sharia. The Qur’an instructs: (Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display […]
Joe Biden has assured the world that Iran will not acquire nuclear weapons “on my watch.” How much credence ought the people of Israel, who will be the ones most affected should Iran acquire a nuclear weapon, give to this assurance? None at all. Israelis cannot entrust their national survival to assurances from Joe Biden […]
It’s not that Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has no self-awareness or no information about the violent suppression of protests in Iran. It is an attempt to show that what the Islamic Republic has done with its protestors is not so out of the ordinary, and to deceive people into thinking that the Iranian regime has not actually […]
The Saudi-Iranian agreement, brokered by China, to renew diplomatic ties has now been followed by the Saudis inviting Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi for an official visit. It looks as if the two rivals are serious about promoting ever-better relations. What does this mean for Israel, which has its own security ties to Saudi Arabia, with […]
A U.S. contractor was killed and another contractor and five U.S. service members were injured There are stories that the media covers and stories that the media covers up. This doesn’t always mean not reporting the story at all. Sometimes it’s just a matter of what things the media keeps talking about and what it […]
No surprise here. Many Islamic centers (as well as mosques and charities) in the UK and elsewhere in the West have frequently been found to be tied to jihadist foreign entities. Just a few examples: Qatar and Turkey bankrolling Muslim Brotherhood networks across Europe, including Muslim Council of Britain UK: Shia mosques and Islamic schools […]
Why do we still have troops in Syria? What is their purpose, other than to line the pockets of the military-industrial complex? “American Contractor Killed in Drone Attack on Base in Syria,” by Eric Schmitt, New York Times, March 23, 2023: WASHINGTON — A U.S. contractor was killed and another contractor and five U.S. service […]
Something is very wrong in the UK, which on top of everything else is now serving as a haven for an Iranian rapist whose fear of having to return to Iran didn’t stop him from committing his crime in the first place. If the victim were a relative of Judge John Keith, Keith would likely […]
Either the New York Times is historically illiterate or it just doesn’t give a damn. The Left never lets go of anything or forgets its history. No conspiracy theory is too dead to be dragged up again. And with Carter on the way out, the New York Times decided to drag out its old claim […]
According to Egyptian-born pro-Al-Qaeda cleric Tariq Abdelhaleem, America is losing its grip on the Middle East to Russia and China. He’s right. Of course, he didn’t miss the opportunity to slam those two infidel countries, calling them “unbelievers” and “wicked people.” This is merely the tip of the iceberg. The red-green axis won’t be so […]
Once again, the Biden Administration is factoring itself out of a critical global event. With Russia demonstrating its determination by threatening to use nuclear weapons, along with its suspension of a nuclear arms control treaty and its threat to resume nuclear tests, there’s big reason to be concerned. Add to that the fact that Iran […]
Iran’s threat presents a big dilemma for Western leaders, as Iran is the most powerful Shia country in the world, and Western leaders are still willfully blind to the fact that one cannot separate politics from mainstream Islam. The Sharia is divine law. For mainstream Muslims, no law in the world transcends it. The Sharia […]
The renewal of diplomatic relations, after seven years, between Saudi Arabia and Iran, brokered by China, is cause for alarm in the West for several reasons. It shows that China is moving to replace the United States as the chief outside power in the region. China hopes for greater economic ties to the fabulously rich […]
