Caliphate Envy

Unfriendly local Khomeinist Zafar Bangash is suffering from a wicked case of the malady as he 'splains where the Sunnis, and ISIS, have gone wrong.

The gist of his screed: the caliph is supposed to be a Shia, stupid.

In another piece on the Crescent site, Zafar, a fixture at his hero the dead Ayatollah's annual Zionhass seethe-a-thon held on the grounds of Queen's Park, can't hardly wait for this year's event (the italics are in the original):

Every year, al-Quds rallies are held worldwide on the last Friday of Ramadan. They are important because they remind the Muslims as well as non-Muslims that the first qibla of Muslims remains under alien occupation. Its liberation is the responsibility of every Muslim.

The annual Quds Day rallies have become a global phenomenon. Since the last Friday of Ramadan was first declared by Imam Khomeini in 1979 as the Day of Quds, millions of people—Muslims and non-Muslims—have participated in such rallies each year to draw attention to the continued occupation of Masjid al-Aqsa, the first qibla of Muslims, as well as the Zionist oppression of Palestinians.

Quds Day rallies have assumed even greater significance in view of incessant Zionist attacks on Masjid al-Aqsa and the Haram al-Sharif precinct that houses both al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Hardly a day passes by without an incursion by illegal Zionist squatters into the holy precinct in al-Quds (Jerusalem) without regard to life, limb or property. Zionist occupation forces, many of them members of the same illegal squatter gangs, provide cover and support for such attacks.

In recent weeks and months, Zionist incursions have escalated. Their plan is clear: creeping annexation of the Haram al-Sharif with a view to taking it over completely. Spokespersons for the zionists (sic) have demanded the ‘right’ to worship there. It takes chutzpah.

It sure does. Oh, not for Jews to want to pray on the Temple mount; for a Zion-loather/Jewliminationist like Zaffy to use the word "chutzpah," that is.

Cutting to the chase, this is what Al Quds day is really all about:

The responsibility for liberating al-Quds falls on the shoulders of Muslims worldwide as well as fair-minded justice seeking non-Muslims of any faith or no faith. Quds Day rallies, therefore, assume great importance to mobilize public opinion globally. Keeping the issue of the continued Zionist occupation of al-Quds and Palestine alive is a religious duty for Muslims. The Quds Day rallies are a vital part of this effort.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could send Zafar and his fellow ragin' Khomeinists to Ayatollahville, where they all belong?
