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.

        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

      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).

      Only in the sense that all our heads will start to pop like popcorn when the nukes start flying.

        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.
