Qom is the religious capital of Iran, home to many seminaries and the Shrine of Masoumeh and a bastion for hardliners. The city's economy revolves around the Shrine which thousands of pilgrims from Iran and other countries visit every day...

Speaking during evening prayers Hojjat ol-Eslam Seyyed Mohammad Saeedi who is also the Custodian of the Shrine of Masoumeh said Trump has targeted the city because Qom is a "shelter for the Shiites of the world, the center of religious seminaries and the city where Shiite sources of emulation live".

"The enemy wants to instill fear in people's hearts, make Qom look like an unsafe city and to take revenge for all its defeats," the Friday Prayer leader said. "Trump will die frustrated in his wish to see Qom defeated," he went on to tell his congregation...

Well of course it’s the Chinese. LOL. They are the source everything bad. And in this world everything no matter how large or small the problem is, we can blame Donald Trump and the Chinese. LOL

“3 cases reported in India right now.”

I think they are all “recovered” officially now.

Islam is a death cult. We should expect no less, although it is a nice touch if Iranians think we are killing them. Get into their vile, evil heads and mess with them until they stone each other to death, </ evil laugh>

The Imam sounds like a DNC operative.

Always “orange man bad”.

Ramadan starts up on 23 April. I would anticipate this month-long period will be the boost-up for the virus, and at least a quarter-million visitors will leave the event and take it home to their friends and neighbors.

That is one city that should be double secret nuked from space. It is the Islamic ideology cesspole from which the Mullahs of Tehran get their inspirations for terrorist and jihad.

I hope the virus wipes out the whole damned place and everyone in it, esp. the Mad Mullahs of Qom.

Just think of it as wiping out Hitler’s Wansee meeting group during WW2.
