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

Iran: Qom Friday Prayer Imam calls covid-19 ‘secular virus trying to lead religious countries astray toward atheism’

Jul 28, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Here we see yet again a Muslim cleric framing the coronavirus crisis in Islamic terms, holding out devout observance of Islam as the only true antidote. This will get people killed, not just from coronavirus, but from devoutness in Islam leading to involvement in jihad activity, as we have seen in so very many instances […]

Iran: Closure of Shiite pilgrimage sites over coronavirus prompts sit-ins and protests

Mar 18, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Even as the country is roiled by the pandemic, many still believe Allah will protect the virus from hurting them. This idea is in line with the Islamic view that Allah blesses the pious and punishes the impious in this world, and that the more one strives to please Allah the more one will prosper. […]

Iran: Islamic scholar says coronavirus is man-made weapon “against the Shi’ites, the Muslims, and the Iranians”

Mar 17, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Wait a minute. A few days ago it was Allah’s punishment on the Chinese. “Iranian Scholar Hossein Momeni: COVID-19 Is Man-Made, A Weapon That Targets Shiites, Muslims, Iranians,” MEMRI, March 10, 2020: Hossein Momeni, an Iranian scholar who lectures at religious seminars in Qom, said in a March 10, 2020 interview on Ofogh TV (Iran) […]

Muslim cleric says spread of coronavirus is “act of Allah,” divine punishment against Chinese, then gets coronavirus

Mar 13, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It’s common for Islamic supremacists, and, to be sure, many others as well, to be confident that they know the mind of the deity, and lo and behold, the creator of all things thinks just the way they do. So last year, when I had heart failure and multiple organ failure, I received several emails […]

Iran Spreads the Coronavirus Throughout the Middle East (Part 1)

Mar 13, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In a recent BESA paper, Dr. Hillel Frisch presents the evidence that the coronavirus has spread from Iran throughout the “Shiite crescent,” a diffusion that testifies not to the Iranian government’s geopolitical power but to its incompetence and weakness in dealing with the epidemic. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Shiite communities are regarded by the Islamic Republic as […]

Iran blames Trump for coronavirus, Islamic leaders refuse to suspend Friday prayer gatherings

Feb 29, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Iran is being hard hit with coronavirus. The epicenter is its holy city of Qom, a pilgrimage destination for the world’s Shia. Rather than take a scientific approach to contain the virus, the regime is focusing on Islam and its routine propaganda against “the enemy,” and is concentrating on protecting the image of its religious […]

Iran: Muslim cleric blames Trump for coronavirus outbreak in Islamic holy city of Qom

Feb 26, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Hizballah top dog calls for “jihad until Jerusalem and Palestine are liberated” as crowd screams “Death to America”

Feb 18, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Once again, supporters of the “Palestinians” invoke Islam. Yet mainstream Western analysts continue to ignore Islam in examining the Israeli/ “Palestinian” conflict. This is to the severe detriment of their peace plans, as The Palestinian Delusion shows in detail. “Hizbullah Senior Official Hashem Safieddine in Qom, Iran: Our Answer to the Deal of the Century […]

Iranian Ayatollah: The British built apartments “to get women out of the house and spread moral corruption”

Oct 27, 2018 2:27 pm By Robert Spencer

Also: “A few years ago, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, a favorite Marja of the regime, suggested that the open concept kitchens are ‘against Islamic’ and said kitchens that ‘cannot hide the host from the eyes of the guest are against Islam.’” It’s easy to laugh at the likes of Gorgani and Amoli and move on, but […]

Mullahs and Imams

Sep 14, 2018 12:43 pm By Amil Imani

In the Islamic world, a Friday imam leads the prayer and gives the sermon at a mosque. There are, however, differences between the Sunni and Shi’a branches of Islam, as well as between schools of thought within those branches regarding how the term “imam” is used, and the criteria that allow for the use of […]

Iran: Anti-regime protests spread across the country, protesters chant “Death to the dictator”

Dec 29, 2017 3:11 pm By Robert Spencer

The protests were, at least initially, over economic troubles, not against the Islamic Republic as such, but to chant “Death to the dictator” is getting quite close to calling for an end to the Islamic regime. Before the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran was a Western-oriented, relatively secular regime, and there is no reason why […]
