The reason Iranian protesters are burning mosques, is not blind hatred, we are not Palestinians.

It has a concrete, practical reason, and there is a very important lesson in it for you in the West.

‼️ These mosques are not places of worships, they serve as operation bases for the regime's militias in residential neighborhoods.

Mosques house armories for the Basij militias. They function as headquarters for repression and temporary detention centers for protesters.

Protesters burn these structures as a strategic step to weaken the regime's local oppression forces.

Here is where you in the west must pay attention: In iran, for decades, mosques served as recruitment and indoctrination centers for the regime.
The regime uses them to radicalize vulnerable people and transform them into hate filled killing machine against their own society. Decades of this preparation are now producing results.

The same pattern is currently building in Western cities through mosques and community centers. These efforts are tied to groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Palestine networks.

Critics who point out this process are quickly accused of "Islamophobia". This accusation is a deliberate tactic. Do not accept it at face value.

Iranians used to respect mosques as genuine places of worship. Photos show the Shah visiting the Imam Reza shrine with respect. They also show him performing Hajj in Mecca.

Iranians rejected Islam only when the regime weaponized it for political power and control.

Western societies should not fall for the same deceptions. Identify these structures and stop them before it is too late.
