Tehran Times: "It's time for some economic jihad. ..."

"Tehran Times: "It’s time for some economic jihad. Let’s destroy a corporation for Palestine.""

SNIPPET: "Tehran Times columnist Hamid Golpira has long been a Misunderstander of Islam -- that is, he believes that jihad involves warfare and the subjugation of infidels, the elements of that concept that Western apologists, both Muslim and non-Muslim, are so keen to deny even exist. In 2004 he wrote this in the Tehran Times about how Muslims should deal with infidels:

First we must invite them to Islam. Even if they declare war against us, we should invite them to Islam by calling a one-day truce for them to think over our invitation. If after one day they embrace Islam, we should accept them as Muslim brothers and sisters and war has been averted. If they do not embrace Islam, we should invite them to pay the jeziya tax and become dhimmis or to make a peace treaty with the Muslims, and we should again call a one-day truce for them to think over our proposal. If after one day they decide to pay the jeziya tax and become dhimmis or to make a peace treaty with the Muslims, we should accept their decision, and again war has been averted.

Then in 2006 he called for an "information jihad" against the fiendish Zionist "Islamophobia" that supposedly dominates the Western media. Yet given his belief that Muslims must fight against non-Muslims until they're converted to Islam or subjugated under the rule of the Muslims, wouldn't Golpira himself -- according to Islamic spokesmen and apologists in the West -- be an "Islamophobe"?

Anyway, now Golpira is saying that "the global economic crisis will help us" and that "it’s time for some economic jihad. Let’s destroy a corporation for Palestine." Don't say you weren't warned.

"Destroy a corporation for Palestine," by Hamid Golpira in the Tehran Times, February 8:"

SNIPPET: "However, it’s not easy to be a jihadi. The struggle must be fought on the physical, mental, and spiritual planes. True jihad must be fought on all fronts. It must be waged on the cultural, military, intellectual, ideological, psychological, spiritual, and economic fronts.

But in this era of globalization, it is essential that Muslims learn how to correctly conduct economic jihad."

Yep, that's basically mainstream mushlum right there. That "form" of mushlum will always win any argument in their culture because it has the kookran backing it up.

There can never be peace with islam. It will end, or we will. There is no middle ground.

But if everyone DID become a Muslim, they wouldn’t know what to do then.

Maybe Dick Cheney would make a good Caliph, with Karl Rove as Grand Vizier....

Conduct “economic” jihad, huh?

Like buying up Treasury bonds through several front companies/entities, just when your enemy is at his most desperate to borrow money regardless of the source?

Like waiting for your enemy to over-extend himself through massive borrowing...And then dumping your Treasury holdings simultaneously on the international market, prompting a panic sell-off?

Thereby forcing your enemy to:
(1) raise taxes so high that it fuels discontent? OR
(2) Cut social programs so deeply that it fuels civil unrest in his inner cities? OR
(3) Print more dollars, fueling hyperinflationary pressures, and rendering Treasuries virtually un-sellable? OR
(3) Declare bankruptcy?

That kind of “economic jihad”?

Sure they would. It would be Shi'ite against Sunni. Each little sect bombing the other "infidels". Islam is not a homogeneous set of beliefs. Infidels include all non-muslims and all non-believers in your chosen sect.
