Iranian tyrant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad self-assuredly basks in his own imaginary gloryRecall this TCS post. I had indicated that Ahmadinejad's letter to Bush was a warning to convert to Islam or face jihad, as Islam requires not only that Muslims fight against non-Muslims (just because Allah says so, apparently), but that they must also issue an invitation to convert to Islam to avoid the violence required against them by Allah. And as devout Muslims must, according to the Koran, hate and wage war against non-Muslims, Ahmadinejad, as the Clerics of his country as well as numerous Iranians and Muslims the world over, will indeed proceed, as has Usama Bin Laden, to attack the Free (Non-Muslim) World. How and when remains to be seen, unfortunately. I fear that no matter what the Free World does, jihad will indeed happen soon enough.
Now via this Jihad Watch post, we are brought to this article (read both links) straight from the dragon's lair, Iran.
(I recommend adding Jihad Watch to your list of favorites, as the site's host, Robert Spencer, understands Islam and is watching it all very closely and lets us know all sorts of important stuff, including breaking news, about the threat from jihad).
Ahmadinejad said, after indicating that the letter he wrote to Bush wasn't about the nuclear issue at all:
"The letter was an invitation to monotheism and justice, which are common to all
divine prophets. If the call is responded positively, there will be no more problems to be solved,"
Read between the lines: "Convert to Islam and all will be well, else the jihad shall proceed".
Unfortunately, too many Free Worlders believe Ahmadinejad is simply "open to dialogue and diplomacy" and that diplomacy is the solution to everything. The truth of the matter is that when it comes to Islam, diplomacy is merely a stalling tactic, as history has shown, quite painfully.
