In an outpouring of Islamophobia, pro-democracy protesters in Iran have been accused of burning down as many as 30 mosques.
Video has shown the Al-Rasool Mosque in Tehran being set on fire on Friday, a ‘holy day’ for Muslims, in a show of troubling ‘Islamophobia’ which Iran’s Chief Islamic Judge warned would result in “maximum punishment”. That’s saying something for a regime which already chops off fingers and rapes female protesters before executing them.
It’s unknown what occasioned this ‘Islamophobia’ from protesters.
Perhaps it was the generations of oppression in the name of Islam.
Perhaps it was the constant state of Islamic terror, not at the hands of bombers or hijackers, but the regime that they installed.
Perhaps it was the mandatory ‘hijab’ that is celebrated by western liberals, but which brave Persian women risk their lives to tear off.
Leftists believe that Islam is a force of liberation. That’s why they supported the Islamic Revolution which took over Iran and imposed decades of death, terror and tyranny. The Iranian people know better which is why they’re fighting and dying for freedom from Islam.
Western liberals may call them ‘Islamophobes’, just as they condemned the protesters in East Germany and Hungary, but just as those who lived under Communism knew it best, who knows Islam better than those who are forced to suffer under it?
In the West, they’re building mosques, while in Iran they’re tearing them down.
BREAKING: Iranian protesters set fire to the Al-Rasool Mosque in Tehran.
Iranians are completely done with the Islamic regime.

That’s nothing. You should see how many buildings they burned-down in Minneapolis, five years ago, with the blessing and help from certain officials.
I think the Left knows better too and ally with Islam because they’re both totalitarian .
We have such stupid people on the Left.
A result of the left’s control of our educational system.
In the west, our CHURCHES are burning.
In Iran, islamofascist command and control centers (aka “Mosques”) are being reduced to ash.
If a few Imams go with them, Inshallah
And synagogues
And synagogues
Probably not building them fast enough! I’d guess in ten years, Notre Dame Cathedral will be turned into a mosque! (Mosque: Arabic for “Islamic Fortress). It happened in Constantinople, it’ll happen in Paris!
30 Mosques? Well, it’s a start.
The Iranian people didn’t Have such a great life under the Shaw, and they kicked him out. Unfortunately they made a very poor choice of a successor. It’s also unfortunate it took so long for them to start kicking out the Islamic tyrants.
I admire them for rebelling now. I hope Trump will give them all assistance possible and not leave them floundering (Obama style) in that well known creek, without a plunger.
Maybe a cruise missile or two, to take out the IRGC and the government? But I can hear Rand Paul complaining and Tucker shrieking already.
I have been watching Daniel Greenfield for years as he has been exposing the critical danger that is Islam as it spreads throughout Western nations. God protect this man!
“Islamophobic Iranian Protesters Burn Mosques” So now it’s Islamophobia for Muslims to burn down mosques? Sounds more like they’re cleaning house, as they should know what needs too go.
RFalls, you missed the point … the headline is mocking of how the left would normally report a mosque burning …
Let the Iranian people rename Iran, the New Perisa or even better Trump Persia — if not for President Trump none of this would be coming to pass against the satanic deep state.
The land of Trump Persia is open for tourism.
It’s so easy to see President Trump as God’s man just as Moses was God’s man….
Years ago, in L.A., I was frequently a customer at a little Deli run by ex-pat Iranian Jews. I once asked the diminutive young woman behind the counter if they were Iranian. She immediately stiffened, knit her (uni)brow, looked up to me and declared, “We are Persian!” Oops, OK, sorry.
And not only that their no longer walking over the large American Flag painted on the asphalt/Concrete and their no longer chanting shouting Death to the Great Satan
What’s based in reality is no phobia.
Nice trend – hope it spreads!
Many Iranians were Bahai and Zorastrian – among other religions – when the Shah fell.
The Shia purged the nation – rounding up and executing thousands – if not millions – of people who were not Muslim.
It’s amazing what you can learn when you’re an engineer.
Thank you for the reporting Daniel.
