DUBAI (Reuters) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called on Muslims worldwide on Saturday (Nov 24) to unite against the United States, instead of "rolling out red carpets for criminals".
Washington in May reimposed sanctions on Teheran, after President Donald Trump pulled out of a 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran under which they had been lifted.
"Submitting to the West headed by America would be treason against our religion... and against the future generations of this region," Rouhani told an international conference on Islamic unity in Tehran, in a speech broadcast live on state television.
"We have a choice to either roll out red carpets for criminals, or to forcefully stand against injustice and remain faithful to our Prophet, our Quran and our Islam," Rouhani said, in an apparent reference to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states which have close ties to Washington.
Iran and Saudi Arabia are regional rivals and have supported opposing sides in conflicts in Syria and Yemen and different political factions in Iraq and Lebanon.
"We are ready to defend the interests of the Saudi people against terrorism, aggression and the superpowers... and we don't ask for US$450 billion (S$618.8 billion) to do it," Rouhani said, referring to Saudi Arabia's contracts with the United States.
Even the Sunnis you have slaughtered in Iraq and Syria?
Wow! That’s the first time we’ve heard THAT in ... oh, what ... the last 10 minutes or so?
Guess we won’t be invited for Christmas dinner. But then again, neither will they. Gotta be politically correct. Besides, we don’t partake of camel with goat dressing. Gives people gas.
rwood
Stick with islam you dog...it suits you best..!
Our mole just gives it to us. No questions asked.
As if Sunni Arabs and Turks will follow a Persian Shiite banner.
lol
This is somewhat a declaration of war when you ask the millions of muslims in the US to conduct acts of treason.
In WWI, the Ottomans declared a jihad. It’s how they try to motivate Muslims to fight.
“This is somewhat a declaration of war...”
That’s how I read it.
Pretty sure we could spin up a NG B-2 out of Whiteman, light up Rouhani et. al. and get the crew back to Missouri for corn beef hash and eggs the next morning without anyone knowing what just happened.
They already are.
That statement is essentially an admission that the Mullahs and their puppet politicians are shaking in their turbans.
That’s outrageous!!
Assuming you know what they’ll want for breakfast :)
Yeah man it’s from a leader of a country, so even though we think he’s a worthless POS, many millions may not, and if ONE carries out his request in his name then he was in fact the ringleader.
And since he speaks for an entire country, that country must be held responsible.
Time for Americans to start connecting the dots.
Is this an official declaration of war by Islam against the USA? How should we respond?
Uniting Sunni and Shia/Shi’ite is NOT happening anytime, RouhaniIdiot.
The muslims have already united their voice and their organization is called the UN.
It’s the UN who has said it’s a right of Muslim shithole residents to migrate globally to meet the aspirations of global domination, allah willing.
THe UN is their “legitimate” vehicle to meet their needs.
Is this a fatwa? Osama ben Laden issued two fatwas against America during the 90's, declaring war against America.
