Iranians Counting The Minutes To Give Their Souls
Memri
Iranian Martyr Recruitment Website:
Coalition Forces In Iraq Be Warned –Iranian Martyr Forces on Alert to Move In
"Thousands of Young Martyrdom-Seeking Iranians are Counting the Minutes Until They Can Give Their Souls.""The website of the Iranian martyrdom-seekers began its operations by declaring an alert amongst the Iranian martyrdom forces... The site also demanded that the Iranian martyrdom-seeking forces intervene in Iraq and protect the Shi'ite holy places "there."
"The World Islamic Organization's Headquarters for Commemorating the Shahids has set as its goal the unification of the forces of struggle in the Islamic world, in order to confront the heresy i.e. the forces of the West and the occupying Zionism.
The Headquarters hereby warns the egotistical and debased occupying enemies in Iraq that thousands of young martyrdom-seeking Iranians are counting the minutes until they can give their souls for the sake of their holy places, and until they strike the lightning blow of their sacred rage upon the heads of the agents of world arrogance i.e. the U.S. and the West.
"Headquarters demands that high-ranking officials of the Iranian regime permit the martyrdom-seeking forces to go to Iraq, in order to fulfill their religious obligation and to defend the sacred precincts of the four cities holy to the Shia Najaf, Karbala, Kazemin, and Samarra...."
"Headquarters Spokesman Muhammad 'Ali Samedi... Claimed That So Far... 53,900 Have Signed Up"

I think they use inflated numbers to try and intimidate the coalition.

And so it goes. Like the warrior classes in Japan and Germany, and their sympathizers across the world, they haven't seen death in the numbers they claim to want, or the shock and horror of the physical reality. The Highway of Death in 1991 was full of briefly brave Muslims.
Gods, codes and convictions of all kinds are discarded when the horrors are brought upon you and your enemies. Islam, I think, has presented a momentarily dangerous but also very weak motive for war. Ideologies conceive of a world AFTER the war, where Muslims conceive of war as a source of personal revelation and salvation. Personal martyrdom and an Islamic heaven something like the Playboy Mansion.
It's possible to break through this fantasy because fear and self-preservation are always in front. If it wasn't, we would have already seen the kind of mass sacrifices the Japanese and Chinese are known for. The occasional suicide bomber is not equivalent to a charge up a slope against a fortified position, and the whining punk in the checkered head mask is not a soldier.
They're dangerous, no doubt. But they can be broken, and they will. The only thing in question is the number of dead. Islamism is the ideology/religion of cowards.

Hi Washington, thank you..... gosh I sure hope so. I bet you are right. I had not thought of that. I bet they are lying about them just to make it seem frightening.
Thank you for commenting.
