WritterNg:The hall mark of stupidity is to reason along religious and ethnic lines. Many people only claim to be objective but in truth, they are controlled by one or two of the above. The funny thing is that they don't even know they are controlled. You and your propaganda bots are just a perfect example of the above description. |

Rilwayne001:Shia vs sunni . Sunni are 85% . Most Muslims are good people happy to just live, raise the next generation of jihadists and let others fight for the cause of Islam. The terrorist are the wahhabi and salafist extreme brainwashed Muslims. |

Surely, now Ayatollah Khamenei will issue a fatwa permitting the development of a nuclear weapon. Or assemble a nuclear weapon and run a test. Add yesternight to the always-expanding list of demonstrations of the mullahs' ineptitude. Get a nuclear weapon. Declare war. That should be easy. But let's see if the clowns can manage that. -Lord |

TenQ:Your attempt to shift the conversation from modern Israeli war crimes to cherry-picked eschatological hadiths reveals both desperation and ignorance. Let me respond to your deflection with the clarity and harshness it deserves. 1. Quoting Hadiths to Justify Zionist Colonialism? Pathetic. You cite eschatological hadithsâabout end-times scenariosânot normative Islamic commands for today. These hadiths are prophecies, not policies. They describe what will happen, not what Muslims are commanded to do now. There is a fundamental difference between descriptive prophecy and prescriptive ethics. > Try again when you understand basic hermeneutics. Meanwhile, what is prescriptive in Islam is the prohibition of oppression, the defense of the oppressed, and the right to resist tyranny. And if youâre seriously quoting hadith while supporting a regime that bombs hospitals and starves children, then congratulationsâyouâve weaponized Islamic scripture to sanitize genocide. 2. âJews and Arabs coexisted peacefully before 1948â? You're rightâand that coexistence ended the moment Zionist militias began ethnically cleansing Palestine in 1947â48. It was Zionism, not Islam, that tore apart peaceful Jewish-Arab relations. The Nakba didnât happen because of religion. It happened because armed settlers, backed by imperial powers, began forcibly displacing an indigenous population for the sake of creating an ethno-state. > Nearly 800,000 Palestinians were expelled. Over 500 villages were destroyed. And you dare talk about âcoexistenceâ? 3. Zionist Regime Expelled Jews from Gaza in 2005? Yes â Because Itâs a Racist State. The âethnic Palestinian Jewsâ you claim were âforced outâ of Gaza in 2005 were not natives. They were illegal settlers living on stolen land under military protection while Palestinians were caged in ghettos. And who forced them out? The Israeli governmentânot Palestinians. Why? Because Israel wanted to consolidate control of the West Bank and maintain the siege on Gaza from the outside while pretending to "disengage." > That wasnât coexistence endingâit was Zionist strategy evolving. If Israel expelled its own settlers, thatâs not evidence of peace-loving Zionismâitâs evidence of manipulative statecraft using people as pawns in a larger colonial project. 4. Citing Hadith While Supporting an Apartheid State? Laughable. If you're going to quote Islamic texts, then be consistent. Hereâs a few principles you conveniently ignore: âDo not kill women or children or the elderly or sick.â âDo not destroy trees or crops or buildings.â âDo not betray, mutilate, or act unjustly.â These are prophetic commands to Muslims even in war. Yet Israel bombs entire families, flattens hospitals, blocks food and water, and then whines about resistance. > Whereâs your outrage for the babies burned alive in incubators because Israel cut electricity? > Whereâs your morality when white phosphorus rains down on UN shelters? Your silence on those crimes makes your hadith quotes nothing but hollow hypocrisy. 5. Donât Pretend You Care About Jews â Youâre Just Using Them. Letâs be clear: your concern isnât for Jews. Itâs for deflecting criticism from a colonial state that uses Jewish identity as a human shield. Israel doesnât represent world Jewryâit represents a political ideology called Zionism. And many JewsâOrthodox, secular, even Holocaust survivorsâoppose it. You bring up hadiths as if Islam mandates genocide. Meanwhile, Israel is actually carrying out real-world genocide right nowâlive on camera, with American weapons, and your full-throated support. 6. Final Reality Check: You think quoting hadiths will morally disarm Muslims? You think we will ignore: The starvation of 2 million people? The slaughter of over 15,000 children in Gaza? The theft of land, the bulldozing of homes, the arrests of teenagers, the shooting of journalists and medics? > Islam does not teach pacifism in the face of oppression. It teaches resistance, dignity, and justice. And Palestine is the test of our moral clarity. So noâwe will not be distracted by your weak theological smokescreens. Until Zionism ends, occupation ends, and the siege ends, Resistance is not terrorismâit is the language of the besieged. And quoting hadiths wonât save a regime whose hands drip with innocent blood. |

Rilwayne001:The Iranians are they Biggest fools. They Chest beat alot always making Public Speeches and issuing threats. In one single swoop top Military brass wiped out, Spies everywhere and they always underestimate thier Enemies, imagine just yesterday the Iranian Govt is saying that Israel is just bluffing!! Imagine that kind of thought process. US Israel and Britain couldn't assassinate a single Houthi Leader, because they dont joke they match Madness with Madness Escalation with Escalation and no room for Spies. Instead of Raining hell on Israel they are requesting for a UN security Council meeting, what a Joke! |

Rilwayne001:Rephrase the sentence clearly, SOME Sunnis hate the Shias more than the Jews. Separate it clearly and not tie everyone together with that disgraceful assertion. Its only an ignorant and foolish person that'll dismiss their brothers due to some sectarian differences and go all the way to support their collective enemy. And you wonder Israel keeps dominating and humiliating the Arab world? It'll keep doing so until the saboteurs and ass-lickers rulling the Arab world get their acts together and face their enemies together REGARDLESS of their differences. |

Immediately Libya and Syria war broken out, ans NK saw what happened in those countries, they secretly required nukes with the help of China and Russia, prefect it and displayed it for world to see. Showing they will use it immediately they come under attack, because NK knew that it has no capacity to go one on one with SK/USA on military hardwares e.g logistics and weapons but they know 20 nukes can turn SK and Japan to rubbish and they are also ready for the consequences. With that USA backed off Imagine your 2nd most important person was killed yet they did nothing, no nukes displayed, nothing. Isreali military knew she was surrounded by enemies and waste no time to acquired nukes. Even NK tried to help Iran to get nukes but their so called supreme leader said NO. Do they want Russia military to spoon feed them? They are planned to break up Iran into 3 countries and they never hide it just like they need hide Russia own too but Russia nukes is the only different. I respect NK supreme leader more, the guy was smart and quick to action while is father was afraid to acquire nukes during his time. How can Iran watched all her neighbours get weak and not rush to get nukes even when Russia, NK and China were ready to help |

seunny4lif:Don't bother yourself. Very soon some will come here to vent about how China and Russia are to blame for the idiocy of the Mullahs. Their allies have given them everything they need. They have enriched fissile material. They still have operational nuclear sites as we speak. They have the delivery system. Only Heaven knows what else they've been waiting for and continue to wait for. -Lord |

seunny4lif:Too many emotional people here, North Korea acquiring nukes is a detriment to China and it shows china inadequacies, North Korea do not border The US and nor Israel. There's no way Iran is acquiring any nukes, the Jews will simply strike the nuclear facilities, just have we have seen today.. if a Pro Russian guy should win an election in Canada or Mexico, do you think the US will allow both nations acquired nukes?? Remember the cuba missile crisis. If North Korea were to border the US she won't posses the nukes she have today, she would have been overrun before that happens, why do you think south korea and Japan are under the US nuclear deterrence umbrella |

The banality of the Ayatollahs is now exposed. The Rubicon has been crossed. IDF stirred the hornets nest. The gates of hell have been flung wide open. A storm has been unleashed. The powder keg has been ignited and the Veil of restraint has been torn. Let's see what a country with useless Anti Aircraft Defence system will do next . |

Gbadebo19:Thank you for your reply. However, your response suffers from false equivalence, selective framing, and a misunderstanding of the scale and nature of the conflict. 1. Russiaâs Alleged âSupportâ Is Not Comparable to NATOâs Backing of Ukraine You mentioned alleged support to Russia from countries like Iran, North Korea, and China. Letâs be precise: Iranâs drone supply is real but limited to specific types of tactical weaponry like Shahed dronesâlow-cost, expendable assets, not a strategic game-changer. North Koreaâs involvement is largely speculative. Claims of supplying artillery shells and possibly laborers or advisors are not comparable to NATO's real-time battlefield intelligence, satellite data, cyber support, and state-of-the-art weapons. China, while economically significant to Russia, has avoided direct military support to prevent sanctions and geopolitical backlash. It sells dual-use goods, not tanks or advanced missile systems. Now compare that to Ukraineâs backing: Over $250+ billion in aid from NATO and EU countries. Continuous supplies of long-range missile systems (HIMARS), Patriot air defense, Leopard tanks, Bradleys, and F-16 fighter jets (soon to arrive). NATO-grade training, surveillance, logistics, and battlefield coordination. This is not a symmetrical support structure. You're comparing a few countriesâ marginal support to a full-scale, institutionalized, multi-nation military alliance backing Ukraine with near-unlimited funding and intelligence. 2. Russia Is a Sovereign Power, Ukraine Is a Proxy Warzone Russia is the initiating state power. Ukraine is the battlefieldâand its survival is contingent on foreign lifelines. Without Western support, the Ukrainian military would collapse. Thatâs not conjecture; itâs admitted openly by U.S. and European officials. By contrast, Russia is not dependent on any one foreign supplier for its military survival. Its defense industry, while strained, is domestic. It has nuclear capabilities, one of the largest standing armies, and is self-sufficient in energy and raw materials. 3. Allegations of âAfrican Goldâ Payments Are a Distraction, Not a Counterpoint Even if we accept the claim of âAfrican goldâ being used by Russia to pay for weapons (which remains largely anecdotal and based on unverified leaks), it doesnât prove your case. Illicit financial flows or backchannel trade do not equate to formal, institutional, legal military alliances like NATO. > The core issue remains: Russia is fighting a NATO-armed proxy, not just Ukraine as a standalone actor. This fundamentally changes the dynamics, prolongs the conflict, and complicates any assumptions about military capability. 4. Conclusion: Your Argument Lacks Proportionality and Context Yes, Russia receives limited support. But equating that with the structured, sustained, and coordinated NATO military campaign on Ukrainian soil is misleading. The West has turned Ukraine into a frontline buffer against Russiaâpolitically, economically, and militarily. The comparison between Russiaâs allies and NATO's involvement simply doesnât hold. Letâs not pretend this is a symmetrical battlefield. Itâs not. |

basilico:So now you've abandoned argument and retreated into vague metaphors and ominous one-linersâas if theatrical language will distract from the blood on the hands of the regime youâre cheerleading. Let me respond to your literary performance with blunt moral reality: 1. "The Pandoraâs Box has been opened." You're right. And inside that box was 75 years of colonial violence, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid. It was opened in 1948, not 2023. Everything since has been a consequence of your sideâs crimesânot ours. 2. "The Rubicon has been crossed." Indeed, it has. When the so-called âonly democracy in the Middle Eastâ decided to starve civilians, bomb hospitals, use white phosphorus on children, and flatten entire neighborhoodsâall on cameraâit crossed not just the Rubicon, but every red line of morality, law, and human decency. 3. "The gates of hell have been flung wide open." Youâre mistaken if you think hell opened in October 2023. It opened when Zionist militias massacred villages like Deir Yassin, raped Palestinian women, and burned olive groves. The hell you're seeing now is the result of decades of unchecked injustice finally erupting. You want to talk about âdueling it outâ? Good. Letâs duel in truth, in history, and in unflinching moral clarityânot poetic soundbites hiding cowardice. Because while you spout vague war metaphors, let me remind you of real numbers: Over 15,000 children dead. More than 40,000 Palestinians maimed. 2 million people starving in a besieged open-air prison. Whole families erased from civil registries. Entire neighborhoods turned to ash. And still, your side talks about âdefense.â What kind of theology defends the starvation of toddlers? What kind of Christ would bless missiles raining down on hospitals? What kind of moral system do you representâwhere the occupier is a victim and the occupied are terrorists for refusing to die quietly? âLetâs see what a country with useless air defenses does next,â you say? Letâs rephrase that: > Letâs see what a nuclear-armed apartheid regimeâfunded by billions in American aid, backed by the most powerful empire on earthâdoes next, now that it has failed to crush the will of a besieged, barefoot population armed with homemade rockets and unshakable faith. Thatâs not just military failure. Thatâs moral humiliation. You quote drama. Iâll quote history, religion, and fact. You worship power. We believe in justice. You celebrate genocide. We stand for resistance. So go aheadâmention me in your âreligion section.â I will bring revelation, resistance, and reckoning. Because unlike your shaky theology, ours doesn't bend to empires. It stands with the oppressedâalways. And in the end, the side of justice always prevails. |

DystopianMuse:It's the fact that they're so emotional about everything. They can say all sort of dumb things just discredit whoever it is they're up against.

LordAdam16:I remembered here many times that when I said Iran need those nukes faster than speed of light because before this year runs out Israeli(The USA) military will attack Iran. I witnessed the disastrous attack on Libya. Gadaffi greatest mistake was that he abandoned his nukes program for yeye reasons. One person replied that no one will attack Iran because Iran has 1 million drones and 100K missiles. Those drones and missiles are good but Iran doesnât have the capacity of delivering them like Russia or China. Iran is surrounded by USA lapdogs, no matter what USA says, they will always support Isreali military directly. Even when Isreali military killed dozens of USA personnel years ago USA and Russia canât do anything against Israeli Only thing Iran needs now is to also attack Israeli nuclear facilities. Not some runways that can be fixed with few hours, thatâs the reason Russia military stopped attacking Ukrainian military runways |
