So is Biden himself, and his henchmen. “Iraqi Shiite leader Muqtada Al-Sadr: Jihad against the Zionist Enemy Brings Glory; We Also Await the Fall of the American Entity, Led by the ‘Senile Old Man’ Biden,” MEMRI, October 10, 2023: Iraqi Shiite leader Muqtada Al-Sadr said in an October 10, 2023 video posted on his YouTube […]
Iraq: Sadr claims that the Quran burnings are evidence of imminent attacks on Mecca and Medina
“He did not give any evidence for his claims,” because there isn’t any. He is just trying to rile his followers and keep them in a state of rage that will enable him to manipulate them further. “Iraq’s Sadr warns of attacks in Mecca, other Islamic sites after Quran burnings,” The New Arab, August 2, […]
Iraq: Enraged Muslims break into Swedish embassy in Baghdad after Stockholm Qur’an burning
“If freedom of speech is guaranteed to Iraq and the world, then the believers have to express their views on the burning of the holy books… through massive angry protests against the Swedish embassy in Iraq,” said Muqtada al-Sadr. A superficially clever argument, but destroying property and menacing people is not equivalent to registering one’s […]
Iraq: 51 people imprisoned for claiming that Shi’ite leader as-Sadr is the Imam al-Mahdi
Muqtada as-Sadr himself is enraged by the claim. In any case, this incident demonstrates that religious movements can grow up in the Islamic world as easily as anywhere else; they’re just punished more severely in majority-Muslim countries, because of Islam’s death penalty for heresy and apostasy.

The rainbow flag represents the religion of the dominant political and media elites today, and they would indeed be enraged if […]
Iraq: Muslims gather in mosque, chant “coronavirus has terrified you” as cleric blames gay marriage for plague
This must be it, right? The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And […]
Muslim cleric says he won’t accept any coronavirus cure from “infidel” United States
Whence this hatred? “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6) “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an […]
Muslim cleric urges Americans “not to be affected by the radicalism of their president”
He added: “You have to know that Israel will remain our first enemy.” That, as far as al-Sadr and the American Left are concerned, is not “radicalism.” “Top Iraqi Shiite cleric slams Trump for anti-Muslim rhetoric,” AP, November 11, 2016: BAGHDAD — Iraq’s Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr slammed president-elect Donald Trump over his “escalating statements… […]
