The demonstration of this extreme agenda did not take place in Tehran or Qom, but in a former church converted into a mosque, in one of the quiet and quiet streets of Hammersmith, West London.
Holding copies of the Koran above their heads, hundreds of radical Shiite Islamists pledged allegiance to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In front of them, a robed imam praises the martyrs who "bled their blood" on the "axis of resistance" and who are the "greatest threat to the Zionists".
He goes on to tell the crowd, men in Palestinian scarves and women in hijabs:
"(You are) the ideological front, the spiritual front... You and I have been entrusted with the responsibility of making sure that these satanic agendas and policies do not spread to our lands. We need to stop them here."
