Iran Bans Celebrities From Raising Money For Flood Victims

11

More of the wonderful contribution we have come to rely on from the Islamic world at times of crisis. We never see the Islamic Republic of Iran, or Saudi Arabia, or Pakistan, or Afghanistan rushing to aid crisis-stricken areas. That is always the job of infidels — the same infidels that some of the Muslim recipients of that aid will then wage jihad against.

“Iran Bans Celebrities From Raising Money For Flood Victims,” RFE/RL, March 25, 2019 (thanks to Christian):

Iran’s Deputy Attorney General has announced that raising funds by celebrities to help victims of floods in Iran “is banned” and he warned that any bank account opened for this purpose will be closed.

Javid Javidnia told the Judiciary’s online news service March 24 that so far 60 accounts have been opened and some of them have already been closed.

He also told another news site that any crowd funding by individuals and organizations must be done through the Red Crescent Society or the official Aid Committee. It is not clear if ordinary donors would trust the official government agencies with their money.

Past instances of natural disasters in Iran have shown that the people prefer to contribute money via special accounts set up by celebrities, including soccer stars, wrestlers, actors and actresses, rather than paying to the state-run institutions.

Javidinia warned celebrities the accounts they have opened will be closed and the funds transferred to government agencies for helping flood victims. He referred to past instances when individuals raised funds for disasters and financial fraud took place….

Iran is such a fallen nation. Their corrupt leaders barely care at all for even their own citizens.

Speaking of Iran…. We don’t have the same God, Pope Dope!

Pope Francis Entrusts People of Iran to God’s ‘Providence’
By Thomas D. Williams PH.D.
3/27/19

“His Holiness Pope Francis was saddened to learn of the loss of life, injury and damage caused by floods afflicting various regions of Iran, and he has asked me to convey his heartfelt solidarity with all affected,” read the telegram, signed on the pope’s behalf by Vatican secretary of state Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

Torrential rain and floods across most of Iran this week has resulted in the death of 23 people with scores more injured. In the worst-hit city of Shiraz, the inundation took the lives of 19 people Tuesday, leaving another 98 injured.

Pope Dope blames it on climate change.
Excuse me but HUMANS don’t control the weather; God does!
Ever heard of Him?

More Catholics have been SLAUGHTERED by Muslims.
In the U.S. we had more people DIE in the fires in California.
Elsewhere in the U.S. and in Puerto Rico they had more flood damage and lives lost.
Where was OUR telegram?

Oops, playing global politics again!
No wonder the Catholic Church is becoming irrelevant except for the gimmegrants.

God is not pleased with those factions at war against Him; Islam in Iran (and everywhere else). the papacy an d others are leading multitudes into a hellish existence in eternity. Repentance and acknowledgment of the one living and true God is a start in the right direction.

More natural disasters on the way. Very soon, the MSM will not be able to avoid the consequences of their war against God. Natural disasters will affect them seriously also.

I’d like to see things get straightened out on earth but if not, I hope He comes soon and removes His followers. Let those left behind live with what they have done on earth and the cheer leaders for it. I don’t want to be punished for the hell they are creating. It will be hell on earth.

Agree, Felix. Even though our homegoing is at the door, much can happen before I Cor. 15:51-54. Popocatepetl in old Mexico, Yellowstone in America, and on and on. Flooding in Nebraska is moving north to ND & MN as the Red River threatens a major flood. This nation needs to return to God in thanksgiving before we lose it all – by our own hand & the ballot box.

The Bible says there will be earthquakes, fires, famine, disease, wars and rumors of war as we approach the end times. These signs seem to keep repeating but they seem to be crescendoing suggesting that maybe the end is drawing near. Part of Revelation suggests that the whole world will attack Israel. With the anti-Semitism growing in all nations, the likelihood of this happening is greater and greater. The anti-Christian forces getting more and more bold also adds to the notion that they are gearing up to launch us into the time of tribulation where Christians will find they are unable to earn a living and even receiving food or other services will be controlled by the socialist one world government.

All the money and aid will be provided by local Muslim charities. No need for anyone else to help.
