Islamophobic Iranian Protesters Burn Mosques
FrontPage Magazine ^ | Jan 11 2026 | Daniel Greenfield

In the West, they're building mosques, while in Iran they're tearing them down.

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.

I’m thinking of a certain Clash song right now:

“Drop your bombs between the minarets, down the casbah way...”

The hypocrisy of the Left is amazing. They complain without end about the “religious tyranny” of Christians who willingly practice their faith, but not about Islamic dictatorships that force their religious hierarchy upon their populations. Instead they demand that we tolerate them as though the oppressive governments are the victims.

US media can’t or won’t report the truth until it becomes impossible to avoid. The propaganda of omission reporting.

“Phobia”…. I quit reading thr slanderous bs propaganda right there. Nobody is afraid of it. People detest it. HUGE difference. I’m so tired of people trying to intimidate others by using that phrase “phobia”. It’s like “racist” only even more stupid.

You’re right about the use of “phobia”. Webster defines phobia as “an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation”. By appending “phobia” to things it implies some psychological dysfunction on the part of the “phobic” ones, and suggests those of whom they are “phobic” are victims and wrongly oppressed.

Use of the suffix plays into the hands to the Leftist culture of victimhood, and lets them further co-opt the language to support their political aims.

You can think of your own list of such terms, and see how often this is true.

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.

Well put.

“That’s not true Islam.”

A hafiz is a Muslim who has memorized the entire Koran. The ayatollah was one. The head of the Islamic state had a doctorate in Islam.

But some Western punk who knows nothing about the cult of Mohammed is the expert instead of the actual believers and followers of Islam.

Socialists also say the same thing when you point tk the beliefs and practices of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot. “Thsts not true communism…”

A mosque is a place for devil worship and for a death cult.
