@LeGenD and other moderators dealing with this thread: one of you gentlemen requested me not to quote this user and not to respond to him, so I obliged. He however keeps targeting and offending Iran, Iranians, Shia Muslims as well as the Axis of Resistance in off-topic comments, accusing them of being "hell bent on murdering Muslims" - a statement which appears to suggest that Shias are not Muslims.
Quite funny that this subject accused me of having pronounced takfir on our Sunni brothers - which I never did, and he failed to substantiate his claim with evidence of me doing so (because I never did). And now here he is, implying that Shia are not part of the Umma, at least that is what his formulation seems to entail. Likewise, he is advocating that Muslims go out and "murder" Iranians and their friends.
Also, I'd be genuinely interested in a source for the quote he attributes to seyyed Nasrallah, that "jihad is not for Isra"el" but for Saudi Arabia". Sounds awfully unrealistic to me. Unless this can be backed up by evidence, it represents propaganda.
See post number 145988 please.
Also, he keeps citing me in his comments.
I really do want to exercise more patience, but at some point it is really hard to watch this user go on with his provocative posting in an unabated manner, while staying silent due to having been requested by mods not to intervene.
Yes, he should be banned.

CNN’s hosts regularly opine on the supposed dangers of “white supremacy” in the US, but one of the network’s own contributors is under fire for his open admiration of Adolf Hitler.
Amid ongoing violence between Hamas militants and the Israeli military, CNN contributor Adeel Raja waded into the debate on Sunday by tweeting - then promptly deleting -
“The world today needs a Hitler.”
Raja, whose LinkedIn profile states that he is a
“freelance contributor at CNN” is based in Pakistan, and has written articles for the network on Pakistani affairs. His name appears on more than
50 CNN articles, but as of Sunday evening, CNN does not link his name to a profile.
While Raja swiftly deleted his tweet, older posts expressing admiration for the infamous Nazi leader remained online as of Sunday evening. Raja rooted for Germany during the 2014 World Cup because
“Hitler was a German and he did good with those jews!” In other 2014 posts he declared that Germans must awaken their
“inner Hitler,” and concisely posted
“Hail Hitler.”

Confusingly, Raja compared Indian Prime Minister Nerandera Modi to Hitler on numerous occasions, with these comparisons intended negatively. However, he reserved the worst of his scorn for the state of Israel, tweeting in 2014
“ISIS, TTP, TALIBAN - please go to Israel ASAP!”

Even after he deleted his Sunday tweet, commenters online hammered Raja for his apparent Hitler-worship, and attacked CNN for continuing to employ him even after multiple Fuhrer-posting sprees.
Hey
@cnn this seems to be one of yours, but I imagine that surprises no one anymore.

Twitter was also lambasted for suspending former President Donald Trump for calling on his supporters to peacefully protest, but allowing Raja to keep his verified account.
Praising Hitler is not something one would expect from any media outlet, save for absolute fringe websites like the ‘Daily Stormer.’ CNN’s hosts and journalists too have been
extremely vocal about the supposed threat of
“white supremacists” and
“domestic terrorists” in the US, terms generally ascribed to the subset of Trump supporters who rioted at the US Capitol in January.
However, at the time of this article’s publication the network has not commented on the Hitler-supporting tweets of its contributor.
