Comprehension is now becoming a rare trait
The guy was sensible enough to state that Americans are the true origin of terrorism in the world and you are saying something entirely different.
Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ghadaffi and others, I hope they are guilty of forcing people to convert to Islam!
2020 is a trying times for President Trump and the only way for him to overcome November election is to start a war as it has been observed in history that all American president that start a war in their first term were able to secure a second term, war provides a sense of unity and this will be the rallying force needed for Trump to win the election.

Pls this is not Buhari, APC or PDP issue
So is it your own issue?

The Americans are in every single Muslim country either directly or indirectly. Wherever there are Muslims including Nigeria, they meddle in their affairs. If not for Russia and China, America would have nuked some Islamic countries since a very long time ago.

This is the type of injustice and forceful occupation of Muslim countries that breeded Al - Qaeda and ISIS !!!

FROM THE BBC

Next to Iran's Supreme Leader, Qasem Soleimani was arguably the most powerful figure in the Islamic republic.

As head of its military abroad known as the Quds Force, Soleimani was the mastermind behind the country's activities across in the Middle East, and its real foreign minister when it came to matters of war and peace.

He was widely considered an architect of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's war against rebels in Syria, the rise of pro-Iranian paramilitaries in Iraq, the fight against the Islamic State group, and many battles beyond.

Charismatic and often elusive, the silver-haired commander was revered by some, loathed by others, and a source of myths and social media memes.He had emerged in recent years from a lifetime in the shadows directing covert operations to achieve fame and popularity in Iran, becoming the subject of documentaries, news reports and even pop songs.

As far back as 2013, former CIA officer John Maguire told The New Yorker that Soleimani was "the single most powerful operative in the Middle East".

When his end came, it was violent and sudden. On 3 January the Pentagon announced that it had carried out a successful operation to kill him, at the direction of US President Donald The assassination followed a sharp escalation between the US, Iran and Iran-backed groups in Iraq following the death of a US military contractor in a missile attack on a US base in Iraq - for which the US held Iran responsible.

The US responded with an air strike on the Iran-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah. Militia supporters then attacked the US embassy in Baghdad.

Tensions between the US and Iran had been rising since the US pulled out of a nuclear deal between Iran and world powers to curb Iran's nuclear programme and prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. The US has also reimposed sanctions on Iran, sending its economy into freefall.

Rise of militias
Soleimani is believed to have come from a poor background and to have had very little formal education. But he had risen through the Revolutionary Guards - Iran's elite and most powerful force - and was reportedly close to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini.

After becoming commander of the Quds Force in 1998, Soleimani attempted to extend Iran's influence in the Middle East by carrying out covert operations, providing arms to allies and developing networks of militias loyal to Iran.

Over the course of his career he is believed to have aided Shia Muslim and Kurdish groups in Iraq fighting against former dictator Saddam Hussein as well as other groups in the region including the Shia militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon and Islamist organisation Hamas in the Palestinian territories.

After the US invaded Iraq in 2003 he began directing militant groups to carry out attacks against US troops and bases, killing hundreds.

He is also widely credited with finding a strategy for Bashar al-Assad to respond to the armed uprising against him that began in 2011. Iranian assistance along with Russian air support helped turn the tide against rebel forces and in the Syrian government's favour, allowing it to recapture key cities and towns.

Soleimani himself was sometimes pictured at funerals of Iranians killed in Syria and Iraq, where Iran had deployed thousands of combatants and military advisers.

He also travelled frequently across the region, regularly shuttling between Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, where Iranian influence has steadily grown. When he was killed he was travelling in a two-car convoy away from Baghdad airport with others including Kataib Hezbollah leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who was also killed.April 2019, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo designated Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Quds Force as foreign terrorist organisations.

The Trump administration has said the Quds Force provided funding, training, weapons and equipment to US-designated terrorist groups in the Middle East - including Hezbollah movement and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group based in Gaza.

In a statement, the Pentagon said Soleimani had been "actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region".

"General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more," it added

can you stop misinforming people

he was pick up by an Iraqi general who was also killed in the air strike
Which useless Iraqi general? He was picked up by Iran backed militia which had orchestrated several attacks on American troops including the American contractor who was killed.

The leader of the PMU (the militia group) was also blown to pieces. So I wonder where you read that he was an "Iraqi general".

This same "Iraqi general" had always been on the American list of designated terrorists.

An average bigoted Christian on nairaland lies 90% of the time. When Muslims conquered Spain they never tried forcing everyone to convert, the moment Christians recaptured the country, the began killing off Muslims till there were no Muslims in Spain. Muslim once ruled India yet till this date the Hindus are the majority, no Muslim army every set foot in Indonesia but today it is the largest Muslim country. Without lies, you bigots have nothing to offer, you accuse Muslims of crimes your fellow bigots wage against the rest of humanity.

@op better Iraq demands US leaves it is clear they have no regards for the people.

This is the most foolish and backward comment of 2020. Christian forcing people to their religion while Muslim preaching peace on the street? isn't that awkward to you?

I can mention at least 20 groups that beheads people if they don't become Muslims, I challenge you to mention only 2 organizations you know that kills you to join Christianity.

Truth be told, without mincing words, we all know which religion is truly the religion of peace and which religion kills people to force them to their pissfull religion.

Take a deep breath and think. Do you want to continue to associate with blood suckers in 2020 just because of religion, or you want to worship the true God and have true peace.
