Trump\u2019s Hate-Iran Campaign<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

On October 19th, the far-right Foundation for Defense of Democracy (FDD) held a \u201cNational Security Summit\u201d<\/span><\/a> which featured as speakers both Donald Trump\u2019s CIA chief Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump\u2019s National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, both of them (as will be shown here by extensive excerpts from their speeches) whipping up hatred against Shia Iran and against Shia Muslims generally. <\/span><\/p>\n

They presented Shia Iran \u2014 not Sunni Saudi Arabia \u2014 as being the most dangerous source of radical Islamic terrorism. Donald Trump during his Presidential campaign had spoken frequently against \u2018radical Islamic terrorism\u2019, but everybody thought it pertained to the people who had perpetrated the 9\/11 attacks, and those individuals were all fundamentalist Sunnis, not any Shias, and no one from Iran. But now, nine months into his Presidency, it\u2019s clear that he was referring instead to Shia Muslims (and to Iran most of all), which Muslim category the Saud family who own Saudi Arabia hate, and call an \u201cexistential threat\u201d to themselves, and so they even bomb Shia parts of their own country<\/span><\/a>. Actually, the royal family who own Saudi Arabia \u2014 the fundamentalist Saud family \u2014 were said by Osama bin Laden\u2019s financial bagman to have been the main donors to Al Qaeda<\/span><\/a>; and, furthermore, Al Qaeda itself is also fundamentalist Sunni, and doesn\u2019t even allow Shiite members.<\/span><\/p>\n

15 of the 19 jihadists who did 9\/11 were fundamentalist Sunnis from Saudi Arabia. The other four were likewise fundamentalist Sunnis. None of them were from Shia Iran, nor were there any Shia from anywhere. Al Qaeda was, and is, exclusively a fundamentalist-Sunni operation \u2014 no Christians, no Jews, no Shia, no atheists, but only fundamentalist Sunnis, such as are the royal families of the Arabic countries, all of whom are Sunnis, and most of whom are fundamentalist<\/i> Sunnis, like Al Qaeda itself is.<\/span><\/p>\n
