The ignorance of our present-day political leaders on scores of subjects is really scary, but nowhere is their ignorance more glaring than when it comes to the subject of religion. A good case in point is President Trump's ongoing negotiations for a nuclear deal with the mad mullahs of Iran. While the mad mullahs have incontrovertibly proven that they cannot be trusted, by repeatedly reneging on their former nuclear deal, which they deviously negotiated with the naivest of ninnies, Barack Obama, there is even more incontrovertible proof of their total untrustworthiness to be found in the fundamental tenets of their religion.

Let's begin with their belief in the Islamic doctrine of "taqiyya” or “kitman,” which obligates all Muslims to practice deceit in the furtherance of the cause of Jihad or holy war. This doctrine, which calls upon all adherents to the Religion of the Sword to gain advantage over all of their adversaries by lying to them and deceiving them, was instigated and sanctioned by none other than the founder of Islam himself, the Prophet Mohammed.

According to the Hadith, Mohammed taught his followers that “war is deceit.” Mohammed went on not only to brag about his use of deception in the slaughter of his enemies, but to also praise his god (Allah) as the greatest of all deceivers. In other words, Mohammed taught that Allah deceives and that lying is virtuous, as well as the religious duty of all who “strive in the way of Allah.” In light of this, which I fear the Trump Administration is totally in the dark about, everything that the Mohammed following Mad Mullahs of Iran and their delegated Iranian negotiators say must be taken with a grain of salt, since they are religiously trained and obligated to lie in the service of their double-dealing deity. 

In addition to the above, there is a far more disconcerting Islamic doctrine that the mad mullahs of Iran subscribe to. They are, as are all Iranians, Shiite Muslims, who are awaiting the coming of the “12th Imam”; that is, the “Mahdi” or Muslim Messiah. They believe that when he comes he will lead Muslims to conquer the world. Furthermore, they believe that the time of his coming is now imminent, only awaiting the removal of the final obstacles to his coming, the biggest of which is the nation of Israel. This explains why Iran's mad mullahs have publicly vowed to “wipe Israel off of the map” as soon as they get their hands on a nuclear weapon.

Our present-day politicians, along with the Trump Administration, are either ignorant of the fact or have forgotten the fact that it was Shiite Muslims, like the Iranians, who gave our world its suicide bombers. Iran’s late Ayatollah Khomeini taught his countrymen that "the purest joy in Islam is to kill and to be killed for Allah." According to the late Ayatollah Kkomeini, suicide bombing is the swiftest and surest way for a Muslim to gain entrance into everlasting paradise. 

It was Islam's founder, the Prophet Mohammed, who taught that all jihad (holy war) martyrs instantly entered at the instant of their death the Martyr’s House, which the prophet promised to be the best house in all of paradise. According to Mohammed, the Martyr's House is made of palaces of pearl and mansions of crystal, sapphire and diamonds. In each mansion there are 70 houses. In each house there are 70 rooms. In each room there is a table with 70 different kinds of food and a bed with 70 sheets of different colors. And on each sheet is a virgin waiting to have sex with the jihad martyr forever.

A few years ago, a former president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, publicly proclaimed that Iran would wipe Israel off the map the moment it acquired a nuclear weapon. When a reporter asked President Ahmadinejad whether or not he understood that a nuclear strike against Israel would result in a retaliatory strike against Iran, ole "Mad Hatter" Mahmoud responded: "What do we care? We'll be in paradise and they'll be in hell." Obviously, Ahmadinejad, or as I preferred to call him, "I'm A Nut Job,"  believed, like many present-day Iranians, that nuclear war is the ultimate suicide bombing and a swift and sure passage into paradise for the Iranian people.

Do you remember our policy of deterrence in the "good old days" of the Cold War? It was called MAD—Mutual Assured Destruction. We knew, as did the Soviets, that a nuclear strike by either of us would result in the nuclear annihilation of both of us. Thus, we stood toe to toe all of those years without our world ever being enveloped in a giant mushroom cloud. The Soviets might have been our enemies, but at least they were sane. Well, the mad mullahs of Iran, on the other hand, are crazy. If these nuts ever get their hands on a nuke, they'll use it, believing that their religion requires it and that their eternal reward is reliant upon it. 

A negotiated nuclear deal with the nutty mad mullahs of Iran is an impossibility! Indeed, it's nuts to negotiate with these liars and lunatics who believe their religion teaches them that nuclear war is the ultimate suicide bombing and the swiftest and surest way for them to enter into everlasting paradise, so that they can live in the Martyr's House forever. It's high time the whole world woke up to the fact that the only way to deal with the mad mullahs of Iran is militarily. Their nuclear facilities need to be destroyed now, before they deceptively acquire a nuclear weapon and launch it against Israel in the service of their double-dealing deity.
