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.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
