42

On January 2, 2020, bad weather conditions meant that the Baghdad-bound Sham Wings Airlines flight 501 was delayed for nearly 3 hours.

The plane was carrying 156 passengers, eleven of whom were in business-class. This small group – five Iraqis, five Iranians and a Syrian – had boarded the plane at the last minute before take-off. Most of them had passports with their unofficial names, according to Al Arabiya sources.

  20. This is a cult, not a religion. People who are under dictatorship in Iran are in a cult. This is not a religion. Religion is not hostile like Iran and his terrorist organizations.
    He is making Satans army. This is far from religion.

  26. About 40 years ago I got to handle a prototype hellfire brought to a neighbor's apartment by his father who was an engineer on its development. Their capabilities are many and astounding accuracy.

  30. He looked like exactly what he was a vile murdering individual no pity. As an aside there’s speculation about what a Muslim can expect when he enters paradise it might be he gets seventy raisins not virgins this is a translation error that the beards are arguing about.

  35. You can kill a man but you can’t kill an idea. He still haunts them even in his grave lol. Assassinating him did literally nothing, if anything it made matters worse 🤦🏽‍♂️

  36. It's beyond annoying to hear this over-blown Islamic terror rhetoric. When some fool in Tehran actually does something, we see the enormous gulf between talk and action.

    Soleimani's own words did however contribute to his end. Words really can kill, and that idiot killed his share with his own reckless talk and direction. One is reminded of the lethal end of the Assassins of Alamut in Persia. Hulegu Khan had no time for them except to end the joke. Then it was on to Baghdad, where Hulegu ended the Caliphate. 1258 AD. Islam periodically needs a reminder that one reaps what one sows.

  40. Iran retaliated but gave warning taking great care to make sure no US soldiers were killed & they IMMEDIATELY called the U.S. to say they were "done". They explained they desired no war, but HAD to take action or risk looking weak & being overthrown by it's people. The US understanding that turned the other cheek & did'nt retaliate for the Iranian strike on US base in Bagdad.
