A website with close ties to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has outlined why it would be acceptable to kill all Jews and annihilate Israel.Conservative site Alef has published a doctrine detailing why the destruction of the nation and the slaughter of all its people would be legally and morally justified.It warned that the chance to remove the 'corrupting material' of Israel must not be lost - and that it would only take nine minutes to wipe it out.And it said it was a 'jurisprudential justification' for Iran's Islamic government to then take the helm.The article, written by Khamenei's strategy specialist Alireza Forghani, is now being run on most state-owned conservative sites, indicating it has the regime's support.

When the media and others refer to a “militant atheist,” the object of that slander is usually an atheist who had the nerve to openly question religious authority or vocally express his or her views about the existence of God. Conventional wisdom quickly tells us that such conduct is shameful or, at the very least, distasteful, and therefore the brazen nonbeliever is labeled “militant.”
But this reflects a double standard, because it seems to apply only to atheists. Religious individuals and groups frequently declare, sometimes subtly and sometimes not, that you are a sinner and that you will suffer in hell for eternity if you do not adopt their supernatural beliefs, but they will almost never be labeled “militant” by the media or the public. Instead, such individuals are called “devout” and such churches are called “evangelical.”

It is now possible for religious Holy Men to be so smart as to devise apocalyptic weapons and still believe using them will please their gods. This in order to bring on the  Messiah to pass judgment upon what's left of Earth. The secular world believes these men and their  fatalistic beliefs as to be insane. The religious believe those  who hold these beliefs are Men  of perfect faith.

In an attempt to square bigoted ancient religious beliefs with modernity, the religious, even  on Newsvine, speak in a form barley recognizable as any sort of religion. Which may suggests  with some luck, a hasty entry into the mass grave of mytholgy.

What will we do if an Islamist regime, which grows dewy-eyed at the mere mention of paradise, ever acquires long-range nuclear weaponry? Much of the world's population could be annihilated on account of religious ideas that belong on the same shelf with Batman ~ Sam Harris
