Iran's Mullah Jannati: "non-muslims cannot be called human beings"

A close mullah advisor to Iran's so-called supreme leader, mullah Ali Khamenei, mullah Jannati has condemned non-Muslims, saying they "cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption." Mullah Jannati made the controversial remarks on Sunday at a ceremony in north-eastern Iran to commemorate the 'martyrs' of the Revolutionary Guards and the (1980-1988) war against Iraq.

"If the Islamic Republic of Iran is still standing on its feet, we owe it to our martyrs. If it was not for our martyrs, we would not have these precious young men with vivid Islamist views," mullah was quoted a saying.

Mullah Jannati heads the powerful Guardian Council, a non-elected body made up of clerics and lawyers, which can veto legislation. As well as being a top aide to Khamenei, he is a mentor of Iran's hardline president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

It is a fairly standard practice in wartime to turn your enemies into subhumans; it supposedly permits you to do nearly anything to them with less toll emotionally. IIRC, psychology refers to this process as making the enemy population "the Other" as in "other than human." All the Allied and Axis powers did it during WWII and the practice continues to today, despite our supposed advances in education and interconnection with peoples around the world.

However, such statements work both ways. The Iranian Islamists are presently making the sauce the West will bake them in.

Gen 16:12 is a description of Ishmael, it says nothing about the Arab people.

Ishmael's son Kedar sure was feisty.

But then, if you convert to Islam, you magically become a human being, right?

I'd love to see the look on this guy's face when he finally gets what's coming to him and his.

[Zman516]

Reminds me of the guys who used to use the term untermenschen.

But we mustn't judge other cultures. [/sarc]

I'll give you some time to get accustomed to FR. Welcome.

So what? I regard Muslims as clever, dangerous animals that should be dealt with just as we deal with a rabid dog in the neighborhood. Same goes for Communists.

Renounce Mohammed, terrorism, enslavement of women, and global jihad, and rejoin the human race, I say.

Look, these are creatures (I refuse to refer to them as people) who have stated in no uncertain terms that their goal is to either force conversions into their cult, have us submit to dhimmitude, or they will kill us all.

Call someone like that a brother? NEVER! I'd rather see this planet scorched to a blackened, radioactive cinder than have my descendants live in a world ruled by Islamic dogs.

Oh, and before anyone screams "racism!", know this: Islam is a totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion - NOT an ethnicity. I regard Hindis, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, animists, pagans, et al, regardless of skin color, as fellow human beings and worthy of respect.

Islamists and Marxists - groups who think nothing of committing mass murder and genocide in the name of The Cause - deserve nothing but bullets.

This is on news??? We all know the koran is the 7th century Medina/Mecca mein kampf old testament.

Most people in the west are not amazed at their barbarity. They make excuses for them and apologize for being who they are.

He is right about one thing some of us are animals when we are attacked we will rip their throats out.

The Iranian Islamists are presently making the sauce the West will bake them in.

Might I suggest an appropriate recipe?

Bake at 80,000 degrees for 10 seconds, with a dash of vaporized bomb casings.

Repeat as needed, until the dish is glowing pale blue on a bed of ruins.

"Gen 16:12 is a description of Ishmael, it says nothing about the Arab people."

The Arabs claim to be descendents of Ishmael, who they believe was the rightful recipient of the Covenant, not Isaac.

"mullah Jannati has condemned non-Muslims, saying they 'cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption.'"

Funny, I thought it was the Muhammadans who "cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption" and murder and mayhem.

Maybe the mullah had the towel wrapped around his head too tightly.

[TLI]

mullah Jannati has condemned non-Muslims, saying they "cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption."

I suppose we could assist Mr. Jannati in his apparent effort toward purity with a fat dose of neutron bomb therapy...

This is what should be in the news. But, unfortunately, it will not be mentioned on the air and, if in print, it will be buried. In the meantime, stay tuned for the usual media fantasy that violence committed by practitioners of the "religion of peace" stems from socio\political\economic causes .

Actually there was a joke going around right at end of thee Iran hostage crisis in early January 1981 that included:

- The date and time for President Reagan oath taking (12:01pm, 20 January 1981),
- The capital of Iran (Teheran),
- and the question "what's hot, flat, and glassy?"

But I can't remember it well enough to tell it so that it would be funny. (Well, it seemed funny at the time. But then Marines have funny senses of humor.)

However, it is interesting to note that the hostages were released, airborne, and out of Iranian air space at 12:01pm on 20 January 1981. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

P.S.: What is a "Draka?" I recognize "Drakken" as German/Scandinavian for "Dragon."

Well if Allah is so powerful why do non-Muslims outnumber mooselimbs 5-1?

[RightOnline]

OH how I despise these 'people'..........

[Michael Goldsberry]

Further consideration:

Hagar and Sarah
Galatians 4:22-31

[tcrlaf]

And to think...
Libs imagine they get a DO NOT BEHEAD carde if they force us to surrender...

Leave Iraq without finishing the job, and it will be open season on Americans EVERYWHERE...

If your mohammadans are the humans, I will gladly proclaim my membership in the brotherhood of the beasts.

I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of following the demented ravings of a demon possessed child rapist as the path to salvation. I prefer my theology to have a little more love and kindness and a little less hack and slash.

Didn't these guys say the same thing?
