I think the guy is partly

by Delavar1 on

I think the guy is partly right but wrong for the most part. He is right as far as "Darul Islam" is concerned but only in theory. As he says ,he Prophet may have said that when the war is over then there is no need to kill(But even that is only in theory and History has proven otherwise).

In Islam, the world is divided into two parts – darul Harb (land of war) and darul Islam. All acts of war are permitted in darul Harb. When the darul Harb has been subjugated, the Harbi become prisoners of war. He or she can be sold into slavery, exiled, ransomed or treated as dhimmis. Dhimmis are protected people or second-class subjects who are required to pay an annual tribute. Muslims are expected to take part in jihad (or holy war) to expand darul Islam.

Ayatollah Khomeini gave a  description of jihad in the 1980's. He said:
“Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of (other) countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world.”

By the way, he also was contemptuous of those moderates and apologists who say that Islam means peace. He said:
“The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only by Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other psalms and Hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls that make such a claim.”

Some portray Islam a peaceful and tolerant religion. History proves otherwise! Though there were certainly periods of relative tranquility and tolerance, minorities and non-Muslims have always been prosecuted under Islam. In fact, this ideology ideology is based upon an intense hatred of the non-Muslim. For them, there exist two kinds of non-Muslim enemies...  kafir  (non-believers in Islam) and  ahl al-kitab  (People of the Book).  Kafir, such as Buddhists and Hindus, must either convert to Islam or face execution.  People of the Book include Jews and Christians. These people need only submit to Muslim authority to avoid forced conversion or death. Although they may keep their original faith, their status becomes dhimmi (a "protected," yet inferior non-Muslim status). So instead of outright forced conversion or slaughter, the Christians and Jews would be allowed to remain somewhat unmolested as long as they acknowledged the superiority of the Muslim.

Did you know that over the last 1400 years, 270 million innocent human beings were murdered by Jihadists similar to the ones in the Republic of Islam in Iran today? So this guys theory is wrong.

Appreciated so much

by Doctor mohandes on

I am sure All the efforts in singling out those clerics who need to be supported further by people, and thought to be able to play a key role, is much much appreciated by those in charge.

In fact i am sure they will be starting a new list where you can put the name of those whom you think should be given support, so they can narrow the names down and just go after the big ones people happen to really like.

Speaking of senior clerics

by Anahid Hojjati on

Khomeini's son in law died yesterday. His name was "Mahmood Brujerdi". There were several interesting news articles about him mentioning that he was nave or navedeh so and so. But the articles I saw all conveniently forgot to mention that he was also son of Famous Ayatollah Brujerdi. In the coverage of his death, there was also mention of some tension since reformists were present.

Napoleon & The Cardinal

by G. Rahmanian on

Napoleon: "Your Eminence, you are aware that I have the power to destroy the church." The Cardinal: "Your Majesty, in the past 1800 years, we the Catholic clergy have done our best to destroy the church. We have not succeeded and neither will you."

JJ, i agree with you 100

by Soosan Khanoom on

JJ i agree with you 100 percent. Especially that he is kind of old and is also a Seyed ........ may be Imam Zaman has found a new rep  :)

.... hopefully that will eventually help us to get rid of Khameni ....... . when you have almost 80 percent of the population buying these stuff .... then it is so wise to support clerics like him .... besides he has many good points that makes everyone think .....

Inside voice

by Jahanshah Javid on

This man's speech will have much more impact than any speech by anyone in the opposition outside Iran. In the Isalmic Republic, a senior cleric's words have a lot of weight. And in the current crisis, it's taken more seriously by all sides.

by Soosan Khanoom on

Babak jan you burning the Quran is like Trekkies burning Star Wars action figures. You idiot.

Cleric dissidents

by payam s on

He is I believe the grandson of grand ayatollah Mirza Hasan Shirazi who declared the fatwa from Karbala to boycott the british monopolized tobacco in 1891 which culminated into the famous Tobacco Protest of 1891-92 known as the awakening of the iranian masses, laying the foundation for the constitutional revolution. There has always existed such religious dissidents who stand and resist against oppression and who always challenge state authority.

Great Speech!

by G. Rahmanian on

Taaleghaani's speeches were as good! I guess this guy can keep his robe and turban. A hat would be better, though.

Rare

by Jahanshah Javid on

Unlike most of the clerical establishment, Sadegh Shirazi has been an outsider and critic for a very long time. He has been under constant surveillance and his followers have been arrested and harassed.
