    I hate that there are no good guys in this conflict.

    That being said, I also hate to agree with Israel atm because Iran having nuclear weapons is a world ending scenario. Let me remind people that it’s one of the few theocratic countries that still exist which is dominated by religion that has “death to all but us” enshrined as the “word of god”.

      Neither Sunni Muslims nor Shia Muslims want that. This is genocidal hate speech against Muslims.

          If you think it’s muslims that want to bring about armageddon, I dare you to look up ‘Israel red heiffers.’ Turns out all that “muslims want the end of the world” rhetoric is just projection, and it’s actually our evangelical/zionist leaders that are pushing their prophecy of rapture onto the world (successfully.) Islam’s only involvement in that gospel is to prevent the rapture, but sure, they’re the bad guys right?

            Yes they are the bad guys and I say this as someone who comes from Islamic background. Zionists and christian extremists are bad guys too but that’s beside the point as Islam is fundamentally evil because the original texts are literal words of god not interpretative texts (like other religions) so Islam can never correct itself and the original texts literally say to murder people. Like wtf, dude read Quran and see for yourself.

              If they’re not interpretive texts then how are there multiple sects of Islam? Seems like multiple interpretations there.

              So the same Quran that has Moses and Jesus quoted more often than in the Torah or Bible, that you think has no varying interpretations across 3 billion people (pretending that Sunni and Shia among many other variations don’t exist) that also contains prophecy about protecting the world from zionist and christian apocalypse… Is worse than apocalyptic zionists and christians?

              Do you realize how uneducated and bigoted you sound? Seems like you got all your islamic education from Call of Duty.

                I think that may be because hes uneducated, talking nonsense about how iran shouldn’t have a deterrent against bombing civilians. Its funny how one sided his ‘arguments’ are, I guess he never heard quote ‘there are two sides to every story’ (either way hes a joke so I wouldn’t hold my breath for him to see sense)

                Dude I don’t get why are you so protective of it. It literally says “it’s literal god of word” in the book several times:

                “Nor does he [Muhammad] speak from [his own] desire. It is nothing but a revelation revealed.” Surah 53:3-4

                “And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. None can change His words.” Surah 18:27

                “And indeed, it [the Qur’an] is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. The Trustworthy Spirit [Gabriel] has brought it down Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] — that you may be of the warners.” Surah 26:192-194

                That’s just from quick google of the top of my head.

                It’s literally the biggest problem of Islam because radicals always can fall back to Quran being literal and win every single time and excuse any action because they have back up. It’s literally the curse of Islam and it’s incredibly sad and white washing this is not helping anyone.

                  “Literal god of word” okay buddy. And famously the bible never says anything about Jesus being the “literal word of god” or anything. I’m choosing to direct my anger at the religion that’s actually doing a genocide and trying ennact their apocalyptic prophecy, you’re choosing to direct your anger at the religion that isn’t doing those things.

      Iran having nuclear weapons is a world ending scenario

      Less so than Israel having nuclear weapons but here we are.

      While I have no sympathy for religious dictatorship of Iran, it is Israel who are invading and bombing their neighbours as well as commiting genocide of Palestinians.

        Literally happening right now - Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. There hasn’t been a more black/white war in recent history than this.
