Well, unfortunately, I think the Iran groupies don’t understand how really dangerous Iran’s “president” really is.
I think there needs to be an acknowledgement that religious zealots whose direct beliefs embrace the “endtimes”, and whose actions may be to engage circumstances to accelerate those irrational beliefs – these are people who should have a hand on the trigger???
When one’s religious belief has squashed the fundamental survival instinct common to all living creatures, and, when that religious belief has engendered the concept that our mortal lives are of diminished value and our existence is paltry time wasted prior to the afterlife…
The above taken in context with a demonstrated propensity by the Iranian mullocracy NOT to perform like critical thinkers
So, you thought Iranian "president" Mahmoud "
"Aura Surrounds Me at the UN
"" Ahmadinejad was a loony whackjob before, as he rambled on about wiping Israel off the map? Well, look out folks, because he has claimed that
he's got a direct line to God
who wants the Shia umma to know that victory is as good as won.
Quote:While the West is preparing to impose sanctions on Iran, due to the country's failure to suspend its nuclear activities, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is still optimistic. "We shall win," he was quoted in the Iranian media as saying Monday, and added: "One day I will be asked whether I have been in touch with someone who told me we would win, and I will respond: 'Yes, I have been in touch with God'."
"We must not be afraid of them," he stated, hinting to the western countries. Ahmadinejad also noted that although he was at times mocked for his preoccupation with spiritual matters and his use of "divine" words," he was nevertheless certain that Iran would prevail, after having secured the support of international public opinion for its cause.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abbas: God's Apostle wrote a letter to Caesar saying, "If you reject Islam, you will be responsible for the sins of your people." —<i>Sahih Bukhari 4.52.187</i>
If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek God's help and fight them.—<i>Sahih Muslim 19.4294</i>
Putting nuclear weapons in the hands of religious zealots is just simply an inherently dangerous exercise. The M.E. is already a highly unstable area. The absolutely vicious Iran vs. Iraq war in the not too distant past, Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait more recently and the list goes on. Just imagine if these entities had access to nukes. The prospect is absolutely chilling. Iran and Iraq during their 10 year long slugfest managed to do substantial damage and cause phenomenal loss of life. It’s likely that only the lack of “better” technology stopped them from obliterating entire cities and populations in the course of a single afternoon. Does anyone really believe the Iran vs. Iraq war would not have rivaled the death tally of Stalin or Mao if they had the ability to slaughter on a grander scale? Remember, Holocausts and mass murder work best if you can complete them quickly.
You cannot sweep away the religious perspectives which come into play in the M.E. Those perspectives are the focus of a huge wheel of inertia. Putting nukes in the hands of those who are predisposed toward seeking a better life in the afterlife is a good idea? how? There’s little to ponder here. We are suggesting that we put nukes under the control of religious types who are bereft of a critical thinking platform which would allow them to make valid choices. These are people whose direct beliefs on their ultimate destiny is to put into effect the very elements of the end times, possibly without even realizing they are doing it (subconsciously). So they simply edge closer to a conflict, oblivious to the fact that there is no ultimate paradise to ascend to and they simply cause disastrous events to occur and then sit back and watch as nations promptly blow each other up because they believe that is the worlds ultimate destiny.
Look ? I believe it unlikely that the U.S would initiate a first strike using nukes. There’s no need to use them. I believe everyone understands the concept of self defense as it applies to a sovereign nation. One must remember though that if Iran, for example, acquires nukes, that instantly becomes a direct threat to every other M.E. nation. The race is then on to arm and to out arm the neighbor. History has shown that bigger and better weapons blended with religious fervor has been less that favorable to living a productive life.
Nuclear weapons have never been used as a means to an end to commit genocide.
