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.

People who think this way - dehumanizing your fellow man - do so as a means of establishing a psychological framework in which murder of the non-human "animals" can be justified.

[VeritatisSplendor]

Isn't it nice how animals can convert to humanity?

[fhlh]

More from the Religion of Peace!

[Firefigher NC]

Likewise I'd like to think that Muslims cannot be called human beings, but unfortuantely they are and we're stuck with them.

[NeoCaveman]

I'm feeling the love.

Of course it's the kind of love that decapitates infidels with a dull knife.

[manwiththehands]

That Nazis said the same thing about the Jews.

[Sulsa]

Reason #269 to deny nukes to Iran...

He just needs to sit down with us at Thanksgiving, AND EAT SOME HAM

reminiscent of the Nazis, yes?

[YOUGOTIT]

"A close mullah adviser to Iran's so-called supreme leader, mullah Ali Khamenei"

And remember the mullah have control of the military and all weapons not the president of Iran. So the president is just a stooge for the radical Islamic leadership who have enslaved their people.

Ya ya ya, and the bible calls the ragheads "like wild beasts".

Interesting. We call them Democrats here.

Got a reference for that?

[etradervic]

This is not 2 thousand years ago when fear and hatred of those who were different was the norm. Also, unlike then, there is Iran's zeal to acquire a nuclear capability that must be considered.

[Chode]

said the Goat Humper...

[PeterPrinciple]

cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption."

Is that one of them indirect messages?

[jb6]

Welcome to Islam 101.

[Mr. Lucky]

America says the same thing about the unborn.

You got it. Do you think that the Murtha Party is ready to deal with this?

[Michael Goldsberry]

Got a reference for that?

[TWhiteBear]

Absolutely correct, jb6.
After years of war, billions of dollars, and thousands of our dearly beloved dead and wounded, I am still astounded by the shock of the people of the West when someone, like the mullah Jannati, gives the basic Islamic doctrine, and so many people in the West are amazed by the barbarism and cruelty and deception of the so called 'religion' of Islam.

[stickandpucknut]

I SAY WE NAME HIM THE JOKER CARD IN THE NEXT DECK!

[TWhiteBear]

Nice link, Michael.

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

Well, it's only fair.
I and most people I know don't think muslims are humans either. Animals-on-two-legs is the closest we'll allow.

I also refuse to acknowlege the great historical muslim inventions and innovations: The muslim airplane, the muslim radio, the muslim TV, the muslim submarine, the muslim MRI machine, the muslim telescope, the muslim microscope, the muslim automobile, the muslim cannon, the muslim bicycle, the muslim moon landing, the muslim mars explorer, the muslim al-hubble telescope, the muslim clocks, the muslim telephone, the muslim microwave, the muslim refrigerator, the muslim preserve can, the muslim parachute, the muslim oil well platforms...

But most of all I rejoice daily for the greatest muslim invention ever...

Ironically, al-cohol!

... imbeciles...!

[popdonnelly]

Screw this Nazi! What an idiot. I hope Allah calls him home soon, so the World doesn't have to deal with him.

[winker]

Where is the voice of the ARAB Brotherhood? This ought to get them sharpening their knives!

[Jimmy Valentine]

"cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption"

Well, I am kind of on the same page; that's pretty much how I feel about him and all of his ilk.

[RichInOC]

I have just one thing to say, Mullah Jannati:

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[RJL]

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

Thanks, Jimmy Carter.

[airborne]

That really hurts my feelings!


Can I sue?

Genesis 16:12

Gen 16:12 is a description of Ishmael, it says nothing about the Arab people. Further, anyone familiar with ANE literature will recognize the rhetorical reference to the wild donkey, that is, one who obstinately refuses to cooperate with others. This is nothing at all like what the mullah has said.

[B.O. Plenty]

Yep.......it takes one to know one, does it not??

[jslade]

I so want to wipe these vermin from the face of the earth.

[DarthVader]

I'd tie him to a chair and shove every piece of a twenty pounder down his throat by any and all means necessary.

[Ole Okie]

Thanks, Jimmy Carter.

LOL!

The Iranian mullahs should be grateful to Jimmah. He left them 6 helicopters spread out over the deserts.

[tophat9000]

non-muslims cannot be called human beings

So before the were muslims there were no human beings?.. and therefore muslims descent from non human beings?...ok whatever you say

[ozoneliar]

I'd pay a lot to see this picked up in any MSM report.

[Captain Rhino]

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.

[Michael Goldsberry]

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

Ishmael's son Kedar sure was feisty.

[rbg81]

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.

[Xenophon450]

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

[Americanexpat]

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.

[FierceDraka]

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.
