We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

A senior cleric in Iran has issued a fatwa declaring that anyone who threatens Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is "an enemy of God," state media has reported.

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was responding to a question about any threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of Israel, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A fatwa is a ruling on how to interpret Islamic law issued by a clerical authority.

Is this the Muslim equivalent of calling someone the Antichrist?

Who would have thought that Iran might save the USA 🙄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

It won't. There's too many other assets implanted. Vance is no better and he at least knows when to shut the fuck up.

sure as hell wasnt on my bingo card.

Feels like deja vu to when Bin Laden issues a jihad against the US, but this time it is much more personal - Trump got called out.

Hey. If it happens you won't hear me complain.

He needs to go. The who how and why doesn't matter so long as he's gone. That's a win for the entire human race.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

I was gonna say that it would only be unfortunate due to giving them a reason to attack Iran, but history has shown us that doesn't matter. We'll do that regardless. If we dont have a reason we've been happy to just make one up.

At this point its really just a matter of not wanting to actually fight America on the battlefield.

Anyone else planning on dining out in an Iranian restaurant tonight?

Ask Salman Rushdie about that.

It took 40 years

not that I wouldn't love this win for religious fundamentalist posturing, it's not going to play out like that for Fruity Tootsie the Orange Teletubby. he's not the same.

I know. But it's a religious thing, so any random dude with a mental illness, other than religion itself, can take Holy Action (tm).

perhaps you're right. I'm struggling with the mental justification of allowing myself to think that anyone but Americans can rid ourselves of him. but who knows. maybe it's okay to think that someone else will do it. here's hoping allah's greatest defender is out there somewhere, may he have the most violent brainworms that he needs for the Holy Justice 🙏 or whatever

Beheading is too good for him.

Trump: Putting the "fat" in "fatwa" since 1946.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Iran should have a national twitter for these kinds of burns

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Oh he's an enemy to far more than just some imaginary friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

And if you happen to wander into a right-wing maga conversation you hear that Trump has ended was with Iran and he should get a Nobel peace prize for it. I wonder what talking point is right.

/S

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Well, Trump is an insult to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago

Yeah, no shit. I'm with Iran on this one.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂
