Fatwa Calling for Muslims to Assassinate President Trump, PM Netanyahu Issued by Iranian Ayatollah
[GatewayPundit] If I recall correctly, they both were already under threat from Muslim assassins, including inspired by Iran.

Iranian Shiite Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi, 98, issued a fatwa calling on Muslims worldwide to assassinate President Donald Trump, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The semi-official Iranian news outlet Mehr News Agency reported on its English language site on Sunday (excerpt):

Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi has issued a fatwa in which he declares anyone who threatens Leader, and Shia Marja to be the Enemy of God, who has to be fought against according to Islamic teachings.

After threats were made by the criminal American president
…Trump….
and the leaders of the child-killing Zionist regime
…Netanyahu…
against the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and the senior Shiite clerics known as Marja, a group of believers submitted a request to His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi regarding the duties of Muslims in response to such threats. Grand Ayatollah Makarem response to the question put forward by his followers is as follows:

"Any person or regime that threatens the Leader or Marja (May God forbid) is considered an enemy of God," Grand Ayatollah Makarem said in his Fatwa, which is a response to the question to him.

#1 What can I say...Trump did say he knows exactly where the Ayatollah is held up! Any attempts will be Trumps fault for no preemption. Nuf said.

#3 Ayatollah Hamedani has issued a death threat as well.

This isn't "The Scorpion and the Frog" or "Charlie Brown and Lucy."

The West's (very much including Trump) cognitive dissonance is on the level of a "Biedermann."

#4 “We declare that any attack on the Shia Marja and Leader of the Islamic Ummah is considered an attack on the pillar of Islam and also lives of all Muslims"

OK.

In doing so, IT just declared war against 98% of the USA.

☺ NOTE: Given the significant Muslim concentrations in DEMOCRAT run states like New York, California, and Illinois. Should those 3 states now be placed under Martial Law, for harboring Enemy combatants? ☺

#7 And surely a few scumbags were welcomed in during the Harris-Obama-Biden administration.

But, perhaps it's fair. Who has been talking the most about regime change in Iran?

#8 Continuing the #5 theme:

Rooster Cogburn: [to Matty about burying the outlaws] The ground's too hard. If they wanted a decent funeral, they should have got themselves killed in summer.

Yes, please. It could only improve life here in Pritzker-land.

#11 Reminds me of the Black Knight in Monty's Python's Holy Grail. These guys don't know when they've lost.

#13 The Ayatollahs Assaholla and Assahola Shirazi and Hamedani (not to be confused with future mayor Hamdani) are 98 and 100 years old respectively.

This is likely an act of exploratory aggression, putting expendable regime elements in harm's way to gauge the US and Israel's reaction.

It looks like the usual pattern where Western military success is followed by Western political surrender and thus Wester political defeat (e.g. Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq).
