Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi

A leading Iranian Ayatollah issued a religious edict on his website declaring suicide attacks as not just legitimate but a must for every Muslim. He also said it was OK to kill Jewish children.
YNet News reported, via Lucianne:

A senior Iranian cleric, who is known as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s spiritual mentor, urged followers to continue suicide attacks against Israelis, including children.

Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah, considered one of the Islamic Republic’s most radical clerics, issued a religious edict on his website whereby suicide attacks are not only legitimate but are a must for every Muslim.

The senior cleric was responding to a question from a follower regarding the difference between “martyr’s death” and “suicide.” The man, who wrote anonymously, noted that “some people say that martyrdom acts are considered suicide and are forbidden as they contradict Islam.”

n response, Mesbah expressed his regret that his follower has fallen victim to “propaganda by Islam’s enemies.” He added that the follower was wasting his time instead of focusing on “uprooting the Zionist regime.”

“When defending Islam and the nation of Muslim believers via martyrdom acts, this (suicide attacks) is not only permitted, it’s a duty,” Mesbah wrote.

The follower presented another question regarding Islam’s position on harming Israelis, wondering whether “Hamas and Jihad actions against civilians are forbidden. He also asked: “What about children killed in these attacks?”

The Iranian Ayatollah did not see fit to forbid the killing of children, only noting that Israelis can be harmed unless they openly express their objection to their government’s position. He added that even in such cases, harming civilians is permissible “if they constitute a human shield or when the war against the oppressors hinges on attacking these civilians.”

  1. This should be a special hell for this cretin.

  2. Thanks to Obama and his cabal of anti-Israeli, pro-Islam, left-wing ideologues displaying American weakness and disdain for Israel for all to see, Muslims around the world smell blood and are waiting only for some Mahdi-esque figure to be whipped up into a bloodthirsty frenzy. They know Obama, Samantha Powers, et al are stepping aside to leave Israel all alone to protect itself.

    Comments like that from the Ayatollah are prelude to the attack on Israel, Europe, and elsewhere. I suspect that one of the elements that will affect their decision to attack Israel will be whether Obama is re-elected in 2012. Should that happen, the Muslim world knows that they will see Obama and his unholy cabal spend the next four years undermining Israel and increasing their vulnerability all in the effort to set up the field for a Islamic war against Israel.

    The 2012 election will likely determine the fate of Israel and the world.

    Obama will likely have fulfilled the primary goals of the unholy alliance between the Left and Islam-Sending the West into a death spiral. It is no suprise as Obama himself is the incarnate expression of the hatred of the Left and Islam.

  4. You know, back in the early 80′s these guys looked liken”regular” guys–short hair, mo beard, no turban etc. When Khomeini wrested power from the Shah, all of a sudden– the transformation on the part of those who wanted in on it. It’s just like the gangsters here–just Moslem style. They are all fake. Power brokers. Sadists. Criminals within an organized crime syndicate. The outfits are all for show. Behind the walled cities they live in are riches, alcohol, freedoms. Get it? They’re FAKE. Look closely at the guy’s photo and get rid of the garb in your mind’s eye. You’ll be able to see the truth.

  5. @MamaGrizzly,

    Agreed. You can add to your list of things Islamic Gangsters do, trips to Dubai with their mistresses/prostitutes. The Jihad-fellas get a weekend away from the wives and kids, and the girlfriends get a weekend of shopping courtesy of the robbed Iranian citizen.

  6. And this guy is to chicken to strap a bomb to his own ass!

  7. “… “When defending Islam and the nation of Muslim believers …”
    ====================

    Which is why these goons ALWAYS twist the facts around in such a way that ANY Western resistance to Islamic dominance is construed by Islamists as “an attack on Islam”.

  8. This person should be challenged directly be Western political leaders. He should be questioned in the press, and his home and places he frequents should be published.

    harming civilians is permissible “if they constitute a human shield or when the war against the oppressors hinges on attacking these civilians.”

    This is vague enough that this so-called religious leader should be charged with encouraging crimes against humanity.

  9. Why do Muslims think being a Suicide Bomber is a glorious way to die? No one should negotiate with these prehistoric beings until they join Christians and Jews in the 21st Century.

  10. Islam is the creation of Lucifer himself. Its purpose is to spread death and hate. Every one of these creeps should get a visit from our black ops or a predator.

  11. This is probably part of the preparation for an upcoming attack, perhaps related to Jim’s earlier post:

    “Report: 400 Al-Qaeda Terrorists Have Already Moved Into the Sinai Peninsula”

  12. The below link says it all. People should take 15 minute to listen to this on-the-mark audio (no pun intended); then send it, as food for thought, to all their politically detached friends who are glued to American Idol and Dancing With The Stars for hours on end:

  13. time for israel to open a can of woop ass on those rag heads

  14. All koranimals who believe as this “Ayatollah” believe should be summarily killed without a second thought. It’s as simple as that.

  15. Two words………….Navy Seals

  16. So the end justifies the means. Satan would be proud.

  17. Then why isn’t this seed from hell the first to strap on a bomb and blow himself up? Interesting how these Islam leaders are quick to hide behind the children and others they have brain washed into their cult.

  18. Keep it up , it won’t be long for people to realize that killing muslims to thin the herd will be in our best interest…

    And getting a Iranian Ayatollah or any Ayatollah for that matter is worth 100 points…

  19. ““When defending Islam and the nation of Muslim believers via martyrdom acts, this (suicide attacks) is not only permitted, it’s a duty,” Mesbah wrote.”

    I wonder if there are any muslims anywhere who have a clue about how translating the Arabic term “shaheed” as “martyr” is deeply insulting to Christians.

    The term “martyr” comes from the name of Justin Martyr, and refers to a person who is executed by other people for the “crime” of making their christian beliefs known. It is not used for a person who raises a hand in violence against another. Even when we speak of our fallen soldiers, we use the term “hero” but not “martyr.”

    Of course, much of the problem results from the extraordinary ignorance of the western press corps when it comes to religion or history.

    The first step to to make sure those Western political leaders know about this. This guy is endorsing war crimes, or hirabah, and, his position is totally consistent with the Hamas Covenant. The FIRST step is for reporters in our own country to ask our own politicians if they are aware of what this “religious” leader says, and whether they have read the Hamas Covenant.

    We know that Lindsey Graham knows what’s in the Hamas Covenant. Does the President? Does the Attorney General? How about the Secretary of State? The Ambassador to the UN (not her aide, the Ambassador herself). The Director of Homeland Security?

    Of all those I’ve listed, I would be surprised if any but the Secretary of State have any idea at all about what’s in the Hamas Covenant.

  21. Hey isn’t Hommas just another chapter of the Irainian regime? And obummer is asking Israel to nagotiate with these camel dung eaters? Well the day is coming that if theses camel clowns keep attacking Israel, I hope they have fire proof head scarfs because after Israel nukes these camel jocks the only thing left will be heads that look like wrap baked potatoes!!! Oh Yea! Abdinajade is living proof the Arabs still prefer camels.

  22. “Report: 400 Al-Qaeda Terrorists Have Already Moved Into the Sinai Peninsula”

    Ain’t nuthin’ that a few well-placed napalm canisters couldn’t take care of…

  23. #20 Valerie: “Of all those I’ve listed, I would be surprised if any but the Secretary of State have any idea at all about what’s in the Hamas Covenant.”

    I don’t think they give a damn. Israel has become inconvenient to our esteemed progressive elite, as has our Constitution. None of these boneheads realizes Israel is irrelevant to the muslim revolution. The revolution is all important, its goals are ancillary and mostly unattainable. Without the Israelis and America, these cannibals would turn on themselves.

    I normally dislike doomsday predictions, but would now give better than even odds that we will see a nuclear exchange in the mideast. Peace be upon Obama the bedwetter, friend of terrorists, enemy of America.

  24. Okay, I’m waiting for the thousands of moderate muslims to chime in here and condemn this in 5… 4… 3… [sound of crickets]
