In a new video, Islamic State cites Tehran's "tolerance" for Jews as the reason for all-out war on Iran. What?

We don't even know what to type.

In a Farsi-language video released on Monday, the Islamic State vowed to destroy Iran because ... it "tolerates" Jews.

Take out a map. Find Syria. Find Iraq. Find the areas in both countries that are controlled by Islamic State. Now find the nearby country known throughout the world as a Jewish homeland. If you think this country is Iran, then you are probably the guy who wrote the script for this hilarious Islamic State propaganda video.

Via the Times of Israel:
The Islamic State group threatened Iran for its role in the region's conflicts, in a rare Farsi-language propaganda video released on Monday.

The 36-minute video, entitled "The Farsi Land: From Yesterday 'till Today," was issued through IS's social media channels from Diyala province in neighboring Iraq.

A masked man directs his message to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.


The video also chastises Iran for its tolerance towards Jews.

This is a hoot.

Yes, yes, we know. According to Islamic State lore, IS represents "real Muslims", so they are going after the apostates in Iran. Israel is not the "main" target of Islamic State because Iran is the greatest Jew-loving insult to Allah (or whatever).

Interesting logic. And perfect timing.

Islamic State is even making videos of their fighters shooting photographs of an Iranian general:

It's probably because he tolerates Jews, right?

By the way — Iran actually is extremely tolerant towards its Jewish community.

Anyway, cool video Islamic State. (Hire new writers.)
