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.
He’s not wrong
So he’s the enemy of god? But maga says he’s the second coming of Jesus and doing the lords work? Same Old Testament thinking too
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”.
Religion is about control
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!

“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”
In many countries Mosques allow homeless people to sleep in them , wash themselves and pray there obviously.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy
First Larry David, now Trump!
Donald Trump: “Enemy of God”

‘Anointed by God’: The Christians who see Trump as their saviour
This timeline.
Babe wake up, abrahamic religion is fighting again.
Oh like trump is relgious
He’s not, but the fundamentalist Christians have decided he’s their hero.
Would it be better if he was, though?
If he would take the ten commandments serious, we would be in a very different place.
The same applies to most of high ranking US politicians though. Imagine a world in which the US would not be constantly murdering and robbing people.
The Bible specifically allows killing as an act of war and considers it different from murder. The protagonists of the book also steal stuff all the time.
These commandments are for controlling behavior inside a society, not outside of it.
Trump is a senile and a deeply unserious person. His existence makes me believe that souls might exist because he very much seems like a person without one. He doesn’t think about his actions deeply which is why I believe that if he suddenly turned religious, I don’t think much would change.
When it comes to scripture, it’s important to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. If suddenly tomorrow he truly believed that God will judge him and that God is wise and just (I feel like any monotheistic religion has at least these attributes), he would have a mental breakdown cause he’d know he’s almost certainly going to Hell, lol. He’s too far away from just basic decency and morality, too in love with money, power and underaged girls, to ever take one step in that direction though. 🤷

It’s weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?
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.
Yeah, no shit. I’m with Iran on this one.
Trump: Putting the “fat” in “fatwa” since 1946.
putting the “fat” in “fatwa”
Just how long have you been waiting to use this one?
Iran should have a national twitter for these kinds of burns
Oh please. And what are you gonna do about it? Dare you. Double dog dare you!
I mean, really lol go ahead
More like enemy of men, both of youse
It’s unclear how Khamenei will navigate the crisis his regime faces but as his credibility collapses
Propaganda. How is his credibility collapsing?
Without checking the context, Iran and their proxies got hit a bunch and turned the other cheek, so in the game theoretic sense, yes, none of their threats will be credible now.
The conventional smart move would have been to start gradually blowing Isreali and American stuff up the moment Hazbollah was attacked. It sounds they might actually have some kind of twisted, theocratic idealism that got in the way of that.
Wtf are you talking about? There were USA reporters in bomb shelters and Israelis making “oh, we’re so persecuted because we’re Jewish,” tiktok videos as Iran bombed the shit out of Israel.
They didn’t turn the other cheek. Propaganda has you.
That was only after the eventual direct attack on Iranian soil, and I don’t know if it’s even double digit missiles that have managed to land in return. Some Israelis are still stunned, but only because of how deep in a bubble they are.
Iran also opted not to close the Strait of Hormuz, even now, although apparently they were making preparations.
Here’s a comprehensive list why killing the orange Shitgibbon is a bad idea:

Who would have thought that Iran might save the USA 🙄
It won’t. There’s too many other assets implanted. Vance is no better and he at least knows when to shut the fuck up.
sure as hell wasnt on my bingo card.
Making him a martyr would be a bad consequence.
Once again failing to hold a president accountable for crimes against the country only keeps that avenue wide open for the future.
There’s two
He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂
I don’t necessarily vibe with the processes to reach the declaration nor do I reflexively support the orator, but I can’t say I disagree
