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.

    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.

    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.

      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?

          That’s what geocached samizdat is for, silly boy! Or pirate radio, or pirate OTA TV (HD or NTSC for extra cred).

    It’s weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?

        Iran doesn’t have nukes and their strategy is quite defensive, rather than aggressive. If there is Nukes flying Israel would toss them first and the US would follow in, because they can’t be not throwing bigger bombs than Israel.

        They’ll convenientlyskip over every part in scripture that demands morality and self-restraint, and holds them accountable to their actions. Oh, and literally all of Jesus’ teachings, lol. Merciless “Christians” are a little bit like “dry water”.

      Yup, and always has been. Came to this conclusion when I was young and I cannot see it any other way.

        Jesus said very specifically to feed, clothe, and house people in need, and that even letting the poor live on your property and eat your food isn’t enough to keep you out of hell if you don’t actually keep them safe and fed enough. He REALLY insisted, he talked about prisoners rights repeatedly. I’ve never heard of a single church trying to improve prisoners lives. Not one. Someone did the math and discovered that if every building used for religious worship sponsored two people. Housed two homeless people, there would be no homelessness. That’s it. Two people. Now assuming just Christian churches would make those numbers harder, let’s go ahead and double that number even though that’s impossible because the majority of places of worship are Christian in the US by a lot more than 50%, but let’s just pretend it’s 4 people a Christian church. That’s VERY LITTLE EFFORT that would end all homelessness in America.

        Try and build a halfway house anywhere in the US and what happens? Thousands of people suddenly are motivated to show up to town hall meetings and sign petitions!

          In many countries Mosques allow homeless people to sleep in them , wash themselves and pray there obviously.

          “Not in my backyard” is a global phenomenon.

          Then again, so is “it’s a halfway house, not a drunk tank -> it’s a drunk tank”
