A senior cleric in Iran has issued a fatwa declaring that anyone who threatens Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is "an enemy of God," state media has reported.

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was responding to a question about any threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of Israel, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A fatwa is a ruling on how to interpret Islamic law issued by a clerical authority.

Would it be better if he was, though?

If he would take the ten commandments serious, we would be in a very different place.

The same applies to most of high ranking US politicians though. Imagine a world in which the US would not be constantly murdering and robbing people.

The Bible specifically allows killing as an act of war and considers it different from murder. The protagonists of the book also steal stuff all the time.

These commandments are for controlling behavior inside a society, not outside of it.

Trump is a senile and a deeply unserious person. His existence makes me believe that souls might exist because he very much seems like a person without one. He doesn't think about his actions deeply which is why I believe that if he suddenly turned religious, I don't think much would change.

He’s not, but the fundamentalist Christians have decided he’s their hero.
