A senior cleric in Iran has issued a fatwa declaring that anyone who threatens Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is “an enemy of God,” state media has reported.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was responding to a question about any threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of Israel, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A fatwa is a ruling on how to interpret Islamic law issued by a clerical authority.
Here’s a comprehensive list why killing the orange Shitgibbon is a bad idea:

*Who would have thought that Iran might save the USA 🙄
It won’t. There’s too many other assets implanted. Vance is no better and he at least knows when to shut the fuck up.
sure as hell wasnt on my bingo card.
Is this the Muslim equivalent of calling someone the Antichrist?
Hey. If it happens you won’t hear me complain.
He needs to go. The who how and why doesn’t matter so long as he’s gone. That’s a win for the entire human race.
I was gonna say that it would only be unfortunate due to giving them a reason to attack Iran, but history has shown us that doesn’t matter. We’ll do that regardless. If we dont have a reason we’ve been happy to just make one up.
At this point its really just a matter of not wanting to actually fight America on the battlefield.
oh look. a nothing-falafel
Ask Salman Rushdie about that.
It took 40 years
not that I wouldn’t love this win for religious fundamentalist posturing, it’s not going to play out like that for Fruity Tootsie the Orange Teletubby. he’s not the same.
I know. But it’s a religious thing, so any random dude with a mental illness, other than religion itself, can take Holy Action ™.
perhaps you’re right. I’m struggling with the mental justification of allowing myself to think that anyone but Americans can rid ourselves of him. but who knows. maybe it’s okay to think that someone else will do it. here’s hoping allah’s greatest defender is out there somewhere, may he have the most violent brainworms that he needs for the Holy Justice 🙏 or whatever
Trump: Putting the “fat” in “fatwa” since 1946.
Iran should have a national twitter for these kinds of burns
Yeah, no shit. I’m with Iran on this one.
Feels like deja vu to when Bin Laden issues a jihad against the US, but this time it is much more personal - Trump got called out.
Well, Trump is an insult to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell

Given the backdoors in modern CPUs and routers, that’s not something you want in writing on the interweebs. Say, do you know what approaching re-education drones sound like?

pfffffff ha ha ha and he deletes his post! Guess he heard an airplane and thought it was the Raytheon GBU-12 Camp Camp refugee tent buster bomb being sent his way!
Authoritarianism thrives when citizens self-police their speech.
That’s what geocached samizdat is for, silly boy! Or pirate radio, or pirate OTA TV (HD or NTSC for extra cred).
He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂
Got too many ‘leaders’ in this globe with a Jesus Christ/God Complex. That’s what is wrong with this world.
That and an extreme lack of empathy, which is confusing
Most organized religions don’t cultivate empathy, especially the ones considered Abrahamic. It probably inhibits it.
It’s all about their gods saying “do these things and you won’t suffer at my hands.” Followers don’t get to think about whether something is correct or the right thing to do. They’re too busy thinking about if it’s going to count as a sin.
Having lived in Utah for way too long, I have seen this among the Mor[m]ons. They’ll do “good works” but it’s very impersonal most of the time.
It’s about grinding the maximum blessings with the least amount of effort. That doesn’t lend itself to empathy.
Especially with the whole temple thing. Spend a couple of hours cosplaying as an avatar for a dead person and still get all the blessings as if you helped a living person in a tight spot.
It’s bizarre given how explicit the teachings of Jesus are. It’s very clear that many churches are cults following the teachings of man, only nominally accepting the word of God
Imagine judging all organized religions using Mormons out of all people as your basis.
At least the Mormons are basically communists. Insular, tribe-only, intolerant communists but communists none the less.
Or any sort of American-based religion tbh. Christianity (the rites and added Roman things, not the supposed core of Jesus’ teachings) is a mess in itself, but then you have Evangelicals and megachurches and whatever other crazy and distinctively American branches they have over there that I’m not surprised that’s their only understanding of religion. Religion is about self-control, everything else is wind.
The thing I found out when I was a manager is you will get exactly what you measure. If you measure how long it takes to close tickets your customer service will suffer (that’s a stupid thing to measure anyway, but we had a stupid director). If you measure the number of tickets closed then you’ll get each step of a process as a ticket. If you measure billable hours you’ll get a bunch of time padding.
So since the religion is measuring the amount of sin and (in some denominations cases) good works performed, that’s what you’ll get. How many of the big 10 did you stay on the right side of? Did you put in 2 hours at the soup kitchen? Cool, here’s your ticket to heaven. It’s not measuring how good you are to your fellow humans. And they’re pissed if you don’t have to follow the same rules they do because you don’t believe in the same sins. So they try to force others to live by their dumb ass rules instead of trying to get others to be good people.
A Jesus Christ complex would be refreshing. A leader who would deny earthly pleasures, command their followers to love thy neighbor, feed the hungry, uplift the sick and poor, give long sermons about mercy and forgiving your enemies, and would be seen personally breaking bread with the unhoused and lawyers alike?
That’d freak everybody out for sure.
Don’t forget the flipping tables, beating bankers and money-lenders, and saying that rich people don’t go to Heaven.
All these guys are a threat to humanity.
“I inherited a lot of power and connections from my parents, I must be a god”
“Jesus complex” is being an imperialistic or violent and abusive pillaging freak? 😭🙃
The Sermon on the Mount is like 4 pages long, come on…
Thank you for this take.
The problem isn’t religion.
The problem is PEOPLE
It’s weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?
Babe wake up, abrahamic religion is fighting again.
Oh like trump is relgious
He’s not, but the fundamentalist Christians have decided he’s their hero.
Would it be better if he was, though?
Nah, they could fatwa his fat ass all the same, regardless.
