Ted Cruz threatens to kill Ayatollah after Pope warns against violent fundamentalism
Death and Taxes ^ | September 25, 2015 | Drew Salisbury

On the day after Pope Francis spoke to Congress about the dangers of violent extremism in the name of religious fundamentalism, presidential candidate Ted Cruz, appearing at a Values Voter summit, threatened to murder Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Texas senator vowed that, if elected, he would “rip to shreds” the Iranian agreement deal recently passed through Congress, and kill the country’s leader if it didn’t give up its nuclear ambitions.

“If the Ayatollah doesn’t understand that, we may have to help introduce him to the 72 virgins,” Cruz said to wild cheers from the audience of conservative Christians.

The senator also stated to great applause that any jihadists trying to enter a military recruiting station would be greeted by the gun barrels of “a dozen marines.”

The comments came one day after the head of the Catholic church urged members of Congress to embrace their better nature and work to not fall prey to violence and fundamentalism:

All of us are quite aware of, and deeply worried by, the disturbing social and political situation of the world today. Our world is increasingly a place of violent conflict, hatred and brutal atrocities, committed even in the name of God and of religion. We know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism. This means that we must be especially attentive to every type of fundamentalism, whether religious or of any other kind.

Watch Ted Cruz’s entire speech at the Values Voter summit below.

I do think the prompt (and hopefully repentant) demise of the Ayatollah would be a blow against that violent “fundamentalism” thingy, don’t you?

I have no problem with what Ted said. The trouble is - if he is taken out, they will just raise up someone as bad or worse in his place.

The assahola has nuclear ambitions. He should die in a 50 Mton flash of light. That’s irony.

Better step up Donald. This is a winner.

Should have killed off Ayatollah bi weekly for 30 years!

Can’t agree with the sentiment. That regime change thing does not have a real fine track record where it has been done.

Cruz didn’t understand the Pope, it was in Spanish.

Paging señor Bush, paging señor Bush....

Some people just need killing.

One of my favorite "old sayings."

Isn’t Cruz fluent in Spanish?

Obviously his Dad is.

The Ayatollah badly needs killing. It should be a dangerous job like the #1 man in Al Qaida.
