Shiraz Friday Imam threatens to turn White House into Shia prayer house during a sermon
Friday sermons have often served to highlight issues the regime considers central or of importance.

Ayatollah Lotfollah Dezhkam told worshipers in Shiraz during Friday prayers that "God willing, we will turn the White House into a Husseiniyeh, and the leaders of America, God willing, can be sure that this promise will be fulfilled," according to local media.

He also told them that "Trump will die like Carter and will take to his grave the desire to harm the system [regime]."

Dezhkam is the representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the southwestern Fars province and is a member of the Assembly of Experts, the group that will select the next Supreme Leader.
 
A Husseiniyeh is a type of prayer house unique to Shia Islam and is considered distinct from a Mosque. It is typically reserved for prayer sessions related to the events of the life of Imam Husayn, the prophet Muhammed's grandson, such as Ashura.

I think democrats should try to pass a bill inviting a few hundred thousand male Shia from Iran to the US.  If republicans don't agree with it, accuse them of being prejudice. *****rollingeyes*****

It would be a real shame if the Ayatollah had a missile land on his head.
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
