So Iranian protestors are burning down mosques? Why? Well, here’s the reason:
These mosques are not places of worship, 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.
Sounds like an excellent reason to set fire to the things and destroy them, then. Then there’s this:
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 machines against their own society.
If that sounds familiar, then it should, because we have similar institutions right here in the U.S.
Now I’m not going to suggest doing the same to American Ivy League universities, even though they’re doing pretty much the same thing (and not just with radical Islam, but with radical Marxism as well). But the above link does help us focus our thinking, does it not?
And for the faint-hearted, I’m suggesting that we shut the damn things down and not burn them to the ground. (College campuses could be used for so many good things, e.g. art galleries, shopping malls and shooting ranges; it’d be a waste just to level them.)
