you've got a thinned out population and a good opportunity to build the temple on temple mount
You don't need a war to rebuild the Temple. Many muslim already admit that the Dome of the Rock doesn't mean anything to them, they just want it there to piss the religious jews off. I can think of roughly half the people on earth being happy to see the Temple on Mt Moriah rebuilt.
Personally i'm tired of hearing about Iran and Israel and this psuedo war that amounts to name calling and fat mama insults. This is like watching children arguing over a particular toy and each kid wants to kill the other kid for the toy.

Meh, Khamenei is pushing for the return of his 12th Imam/Mahdi again. I think he is trying to goad Israel into making a pre-emptice strike so that Russia and China will have his back and start the invasion into Israel.
Someone wants WWIV awfully bad.
LOL If they are pushing for the 12th Imam then it's not war they are looking for it's the peace and enlightenment among men they are looking for not death. Do a little studying the 12th Imam is supposed to arrive with Jesus and then they will do battle with the Anti christ and his Zionist/Fake Christian army. The real Christans and Muslims will make up the army for God.
If you say so, but there is nothing of God in Islam
I would be willing to bet over half the people in the world could care less if the temple was rebuilt. Wasn't the main purpose of the temple was a place for animal sacrifices? Didn't God turn his back on such things long ago?

If you say so, but there is nothing of God in Islam and you can go read Sharia Law for the proof of that. You do not wage war to bring peace, war will never bring peace, not true peace. True peace is brought by loving your enemies as you love your friends and neighbors and then you make the choice to lay down your weapons and destroy them and make war no more. Not going to happen yet. The time is still not right because the world doesn't want peace, it wants war. Too many self interests at play domineering and playing for world dominance.

You would think that but no, he never told them to sacrifice animals, something else told them to do that and it drove him out of his sanctuary which is the entire reason he sent them on the diaspora in the first place. U2U me if you want i don't want to derail this thread by taking it off topic too much.

Wrong again. The first sentence in the quran is:
1 . Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;
Allah is Arabic for god.
Just proved you wrong. Thanks for trying.
Near it is the Garden of Abode. Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!) (His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong! For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest! Have ye seen Al'Lat. and Al'Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), 'Manat?
These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries) Whose intercession is to be hoped for.
What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female? Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair! (an-Najm 53:19-22)
Furthermore God's name is not Allah
Allah (English pronunciation: /ˈælə/ or /ˈɑːlə/; Arabic: الله Allāh, IPA: [ʔɑlˈlɑː] ( listen), [ʔalˤˈlˤɑː]) is a word for God used in the context of Islam.[1] In Arabic, the word means simply "the God".
Allah never had a son, but he did have 3 daughters
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful. Say, He Allah is One. Allah the Sustainer. He does not beget and He is not begotten. And there is none like unto Him.
and the other statements in the OP source is english.farsnews.com... The Fars news agency, which is an official government news outlet for Iran. Further, yes I left out a few things from the article when I posted the OP, but that was to avoid the 'wall of text" trap and comply with the three paragraph rule.
"The Iranian nation is standing for its cause that is the full annihilation of Israel."
My thought is that they want the destruction of Israel more than anything else. Suicide bombers die in order to kill a few people. If they were completely reasonable, Iran could easily get sanctions lifted and a welcome into the international community. But there are things they want which will not allow compromise, and the destruction of Israel seems to be number one, more important than ANYTHING else.
Why do the muslims want to irradiate the holy land and keep THEMSELVES out of it for THOUSANDS of years?
You're absolutely right, Israelis can be just as fanatic. But what form does that fanaticism take? I don't think the Jews have expressed a desire to take over the world or make everyone Jewish. The question for me is what does a person's fanaticism drive him to do? It seems Iranian religious fanaticism is more dangerous than, say, the fanatacism of Lutherans, Presbyterians, or even Jews.
If Muslims can be religious fanatics, why cannot jews or israelis or zionists (whichever term is being used at the moment).
I thought my source article reported the Ayatollah's happiness that they had materially supported armed struggle against Israel at least twice. I believe Iran supports Hamas so that Iran doesn't have to get their hands directly involved in conflict. But I agree that Israel and Iran have been sniping at each other for years in sneaky ways. It's war of a sort, but more targeted with fewer casualties.
Why do we have proof of Israel being very subversive and none of Iran?

I'm certainly willing to change my mind as I am taught by the more knowledgable.

I don't know if I have answered your questions adequately, but that was my intent.

Wrong again because of this quote:
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful. Say, He Allah is One. Allah the Sustainer. He does not beget and He is not begotten. And there is none like unto Him.
He does not beget, nor is begotten. It states in the Qur'an he does not give birth to anyone, meaning he has no daughters.
Here is how the Koran once read with the satanic verses:
Here is how it reads today in the Koran:
Near it is the Garden of Abode. Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!) (His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong! For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest! Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), Manat?

Riight, thats why your book contradicts that.
We don't have a lot to go on, but Hiroshima was less than 70 years ago. Many people don't believe that that land is permanently destroyed. I think Iran would see Israel as a temporary no-go zone. Further, isn't Mecca the holiest site? I don't think the "cost" to Iran is as great as you see it.
But the thought of the Peoples of the Muslim world being ok with the PERMANENT destruction of the holiest of holy sites is unheard of.
The logic is like killing your Mom to anger your Father.
I thought this point was important.
It seems Iranian religious fanaticism is more dangerous than, say, the fanatacism of Lutherans, Presbyterians, or even Jews.
That's true to some extent, but Islam does have CAIR and INSA(?) and Al-Jazeera. There have been stories about the strong influence of CAIR appointees in this administration. But you're right, Jews have been here longer and they are more involved in America than Muslims are. I don't see how this bears on the question of Iran as a threat. Oh, wait. I see your next point.
The Muslim nations do not have ANY US lobby, the israelis have SEVERAL lobbies as well as people in power with dual citizenship us/israeli.
The israelis even own most of all media or have strong ties.
Did I not, somewhere in this thread, give the link to the Fars news site? I thought I did. That was the Iranian state news outlet reporting the speech of an Iranian leader. It was not an opinion piece and I provided a link.
The source article is an opinion piece, no linky.
I have no PROOF that Iran supports hamas, but hamas is not Iran.
But in the linked article the Ayatollah claims credit for supporting two battles against Israel. What more proof is needed once you have a boastful confession?
I also have no PROOF that Iran has directly or indirectly done anything to harm israel
I suspect it was the Israelis, but here there really is no proof, at least that I've heard of.
There has however been a rash of Iranian deaths in the scientific community.
I don't think I've said I support Israel in this thread. My concern has been with Iran and American policy towards it.
I will say that ANYONE who supports israel supports terrorism against the US and many other nations.
For this I do have proof.
Remember the U.S.S LIBERTY.
