He was a terrorist but not ISIS as Iranians are Shia and hate Sunnis. They also hate Turks.
10% of Iranians are Sunni, actually.
Iran has a ten percent Sunni population. I would think the Sunni minority would be more likely to emigrate.
Shi’ite Iranians support spreading terrorism on a scale fully comparable with that of ISIS. They just have not ramped up the wider application of the means of delivering such degree of terrorism.
All those Turks that Germany was freely importing in the 1950’s and 1960’s and 1970’s are now firmly established, and back when the Shah still sat on the Peacock Throne in Iran, there was a lot of Iranian-German interchange. The seeds of this discord were planted long ago, and now Germany reaps the whirlwind.
The US has known since the Bin Laden raid in 2011 - from documents recovered from Bin Laden’s lair - that SHIITE Iran is the lynchpin for comnmunications and logistics for SUNNI Al Qaeda. We fool ourselves if we think that Islam is not united against us.
For the first time since the caliphate was disbanded via European colonization and creation of nation states in the early 1900’s, they now have a caliphate (that’s what ISIS is - Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) and leaders calling for jihad on behalf of that caliphate which makes it MANDATORY for every Muslim; it is not time for divisions but time for unity on the part of Islam, and that is what we see.
Having somebody take the bull by the horns and call themselves the caliphate was all it took for Islam to unite. There is no controversy in saying that Obama was raised Muslim; it is acknowledged by him. That means that he KNEW that. And his regime knowingly - and against the counsel of the intelligence and military leaders - deliberately stirred up, trained, armed, and funded the “opposition” to Bashar Assad which they KNEW would be a fundamentalist Islamist group calling for jihad. This was after Obama had left the US border open for jihadists to enter, and there was no reason for these Islamist leaders to believe it was NOT the right time to take over the world. All they had to do was declare themselves a caliphate. And that is what they did.
After they did it, Obama - against the intel and military advice based on evidence - poo-poohed ISIS, even though he knew EXACTLY how serious the creation of a caliphate truly is, as a Muslim (former Muslim, if you object to him being called a current Muslim, though the Egyptian ambassador in 2010 said Obama privately told him he was and still is a Muslim who supports the MUSLIM agenda - that’s Muslim, as in SUNNI AND SHIITE).
There are many, many good reasons to believe that Obama was illegally placed into our White House by a communist-Islamist coup (primarily through threats to critical US officials, made possible by economic jihad planned in 2006-2007 at the height of the Iraq war protests and executed in 2008), and that he was put there in order to enable the worldwide jihad in support of the worldwide caliphate that the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD (whose members include Huma Abedin’s parents, Obama’s half-brother, and a TON of people in powerful positions in the Obama regime...) has been proclaiming as the only true form of Islam.
To summarize, no Muslim needs to have a physical connection to ISIS because as the Muslim Brotherhood preaches, they ALL have a “spiritual” connection. The Quran COMMANDS every Muslim to exercise jihad when there is a caliphate calling for that jihad. And we have that in ISIS, which Obama (the foreign enemy combatant who illegally took office through an Islamist coup using economic jihad) used his usurped position to create, at his own bidding against the whole system that would have stopped him.
To those who are interested in Scripture, Revelation talks about a beast coming out of the sea; one of the heads of this beast seemed to have recovered from a fatal wound. I have wondered what that could mean. This beast is given great power all over the world by the dragon, which is clearly stated as being Satan. When I learned from a former Muslim that the early 1900’s was the only time there has NOT been a caliphate, that the Muslim Brotherhood was created shortly after that to revert Islam back to the jihadist, sharia, worldwide caliphate demands of the Quran, and that ISIS is the first caliphate since the Muslim Brotherhood has revived worldwide Islam to the commands of the Quran... it occurred to me that Islam is this beast which seemed to have recovered from a fatal wound. Later on, another beast rises in support of this beast and forces everyone to worship the first beast AND to accept a mark of the beast in able to be able to buy and sell. The beast’s number is 666, which I’ve read is the symbol for the Quran (Some Muslim in OK? had 666 for his license plate, saying it was the symbol for the Quran). The Muslim Brotherhood is behind Sharia-compliant finance, and Soverign Wealth Funds on the part of Islamist nations is what powered the economic jihad in 2008 that put Obama into the White House. When push comes to shove, Islam will wield power over the entire world because of the money they control. And Islamic finance is a way to enslave free peoples.
If a person understands what the Muslim world has been doing while the free peoples have been worshipping mammon/money, a chilling image emerges. The crash-and-burn of Babylon the whore is lamented by the peoples of the world who had been drunk with the wine of her adulteries. It is a financial crash-and-burn that rocks the whole world.
It is money that will eventually be used by Satan to destroy faith and enslave the world. The world’s wealth is in the hands of a few families, and they control a LARGE part of the world because people need jobs and want luxuries and/or financial security. If I understand correctly, those families are behind the political correctness and are allied with Islamists, who also have a lot of money and the willingness/command to use it to enslave the world under sharia.
Obama very much wants us to think these are not serious times, but Trump has it right. And there’s this even more ominous Biblical storm brewing that Trump may not even have mentioned, but Christians should be aware of what is ahead.
