From the time of the Iranian revolution<\/a> in 1978, the goal of Iran<\/a> has been to restore the Islamic caliphate<\/a> that vanished with the end of the Turkish Empire. We need to remember that the caliphate existed about a hundred years ago–it is not ancient history. Therefore, the book that has been published by Iran on how to outsmart the United States<\/a> and destroy Israel should not come as a surprise to anyone. What should come as a surprise is why would the United States negotiate with a country whose goal is to destroy one of our allies and eventually destroy us.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, yesterday The New York Post<\/a> posted a story about a book called\u00a0\u201cPalestine,\u201d published by\u00a0Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/a>. This charming masterpiece is described in the article:<\/p>\n

Khamenei makes his position clear from the start: Israel has no right to exist as a state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He uses three words. One is \u201cnabudi\u201d which means \u201cannihilation.\u201d The other is \u201cimha\u201d which means \u201cfading out,\u201d and, finally, there is \u201czaval\u201d meaning \u201ceffacement.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Khamenei claims that his strategy for the destruction of Israel is not based on anti-Semitism, which he describes as a European phenomenon. His position is instead based on \u201cwell-established Islamic principles.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One such principle is that a land that falls under Muslim rule, even briefly, can never again be ceded to non-Muslims. What matters in Islam<\/a> is ownership of a land\u2019s government, even if the majority of inhabitants are non-Muslims.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Khomeinists are not alone in this belief.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dozens of maps circulate in the Muslim world showing the extent of Muslim territories lost to the Infidel that must be recovered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a tenet in Islam that says all land controlled by Muslims at any time must be regained to form the caliphate. That tenet has a lot to do with Iran’s desire to have a nuclear bomb.<\/p>\n

The article also reminds us that Khamenei plans to eliminate Israel through making life so unpleasant there that the Jews leave and the land goes to the Arabs as a result of demographics.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Khamenei boasts about the success of his plans to make life impossible for Israelis through terror attacks from Lebanon and Gaza. His latest scheme is to recruit \u201cfighters\u201d in the West Bank<\/a> to set up Hezbollah-style units.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have intervened in anti-Israel matters, and it brought victory in the 33-day war by Hezbollah against Israel in 2006 and in the 22-day war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip<\/a>,\u201d he boasts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Khamenei describes Israel as \u201ca cancerous tumor\u201d whose elimination would mean that \u201cthe West\u2019s hegemony and threats will be discredited\u201d in the Middle East<\/a>. In its place, he boasts, \u201cthe hegemony of Iran will be promoted.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Khamenei\u2019s book also deals with the Holocaust which he regards either as \u201ca propaganda ploy\u201d or a disputed claim. \u201cIf there was such a thing,\u201d he writes, \u201cwe don\u2019t know why it happened and how.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is what Iran\u2019s leaders are preaching to their people and their allies in the Middle East. Do we really want to give succor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In looking at the nuclear agreement with Iran, one has to consider the Islamic principle of taqiyya, loosely explained as “lying for the sake of Islam.” Taqiyya allows Muslims to issue two statements on any one issue–one to Muslims and one to non-Muslims. I have no doubt that what Iran is telling America about the nuclear deal is very different from what is being told to the Iranians. I pray that the Senate has the courage to turn down the nuclear deal with Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
