Iran has a new president. According to Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli and Iran’s state-run IRIB News Agency, Ebrahim Raisi was elected Iran’s new president by a landslide. Of course, all reform candidates for Iran’s presidency were disqualified by Iran’s mad mullahs before Election Day, which prompted one of the disqualified candidates to state the obvious, that the presidential election was all “pre-determined” beforehand. The fact that it was a forgone conclusion explains the record low turnout of Iranian voters and why millions who did vote simply used their ballots to express their dissatisfaction with the Iranian regime.

Not only is Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s new president, a close associate to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, but he is also believed to be Khamenei’s likely successor. In addition to this, Raisi is also known to be the mass executioner of thousands of Iranians who’ve dared over the years to oppose the ruthless tyranny of Iran’s mad mullahs.

Iran’s presidential election has posed quite a problem to our American president and his administration. It has made a mass murderer, handpicked by the mad mullahs of Iran, the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism, into a key figure in negotiating the Biden Administration’s reckless return to the Iranian Nuclear Deal. If our president and his administration are foolish enough to sit down with Iran’s notorious mass executioner and negotiate a rash return to the Iranian Nuclear Deal that will fast track Iran’s mad mullahs in their mad dash to acquire a nuclear arsenal, the Middle East may soon find itself under the shadows of Muslims’ celebratory mushroom clouds. No wonder Israel’s new Prime Minister Naftali Bennet is now warning world leaders, like Joe Biden, that Rasisi’s election as Iran’s new president should serve as the ultimate in wake-up calls!

Although the idiocy, if not downright insanity, of America’s present-day politicians is perpetually in plain view, there is no subject upon which they repeatedly prove themselves more ignorant than the subject of religion. For instance, they are totally insensible to the militancy of Iran’s Shiite Muslims. The Iranian Shiites are awaiting the 12th Imam—the Mahdi or Muslim messiah. They believe that when he comes, he will lead them to bring the whole world to its knees in submission to Allah, the god of Islam. Many present-day Shiites also believe that America and Israel are the chief obstacles preventing their Mahdi from coming. Therefore, it is their religious duty to remove these obstacles from the face of the earth and prepare the way for their Mahdi to come and usher in the long awaited utopia of his worldwide caliphate.

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,"  believes, 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.

Our president and his administration, as well as all of our politicians and world leaders, would do well to remember that the present-day phenomenon of suicide bombings was first popularized by Iran's late Ayatollah Khomeini, who taught his countrymen, "The purest joy in Islam is to kill and to be killed for Allah." According to the late Ayatollah Kkomeini, suicide bombing was the swiftest and surest way for a Muslim to gain entrance into everlasting paradise. It was Islam's founder, the Prophet Mohammed himself, 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.

When the mad mullahs of Iran promise to “wipe Israel off of the map” as soon as they get their hands on a nuclear weapon, they’re not kidding. Nevertheless, the world doesn’t get it. Even our own government has deluded itself into believing that our war on terror has nothing to do with religion; in spite of the fact that it has everything to do with religion. The mad mullahs of Iran actually believe it’s their religious duty to launch a nuclear weapon against Israel. Therefore, no arm-twisting or trinket-rewarding diplomacy is going to slow them down in their mad dash toward nuclear armament.

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. The Iranians, on the other hand, are crazy. If these nuts get their hands on a nuke, they'll consider it their religious duty to use it, not to mention the surest way to secure for themselves an eternal reservation in the Martyr's House. No wonder the Apostle Paul predicted that earth's last days would be the most perilous [dangerous] time this fallen planet has ever known (2 Timothy 3:1).
