Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran: Muslim cleric slams UNICEF as “enemy of Islam”

Apr 14, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Shirazi has it all wrong. UNICEF, and the UN in general, is a massive friend of Islam, driven by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to demonize Israel relentlessly, and to try to intimidate the West into criminalizing criticism of Islam under the guise of “hate speech.”

“Iranian hardline cleric slams UNICEF as ‘enemy of Islam,’” Arab News, April 13, 2020:

DUBAI: An Iranian cleric has accused the US of using the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) as a tool to target Iran, Persian media Radio Farda reported on Monday.

Cleric Ali Shirazi, who is affiliated with the country’s Quds Force, called on Iranians to boycott the UN agency, which provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide.

In a note carried by Iranian news agency Tasnim, Shirazi singled out a fourth-grade textbook referencing UNICEF activities, and slammed authorities who allowed for its publication.

“The enemies of Islam are pursuing their own aims through international and public educational institutions,” the hardliner stressed.

Shirazi, who was appointed by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the US “aims at turning the Islamic lifestyle into a western way of life,” and uses topics such as human rights advocacy or women’s rights as an excuse.

    Islam doesn’t exactly encourage free inquiry or general education. Islam is incompatible with modern education.

    The mullahs want obedient subjects who memorize and regurgitate. That is not what modern education is about.

    When girls get educated, many of them start to question Islam. Some of the greatest counterjihadists are educated, former Muslim women.

    It’s the old saying, a fanatic is someone who doesn’t know who his friends are.

    Let’s face it. The man has reasonable grounds for concern. Next thing you know, they’ll be wanting to interfere in his right to have sex with a nine-year-old. He’s quite right to be alarmed.

    My God, the Muslim cleric was right. Humanitarian and developmental aid to Muslim children is the enemy of Islam. Hopefully, merciful Allah will help these poor children by sending them to heaven, so that they don’t have to suffer from the hand of Islam any further. Allahu Akbar (peace upon poor children) !

    …………………

    What could be more un-Islamic than aid to children?

    Child abuse is endemic to Islam.

    Oh yea let’s not have human rights, and women’s rights in this world. Muslim men would not have anyone to rape or beat to death. More organizations should stand up against islam and it inhuman practices.
