A Shiite religious event in Dearborn, Michigan featured praise for Khamenei and Nasrallah and calls to raise children with the ideal of jihad.
During a June 19 Muharram commemoration at the Hadi Institute in Dearborn, Michigan, speakers honored Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and former Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, with the crowd reciting the Fatiha for both.
According to the report, Shiite scholar Usama Abdulghani, spiritual leader of the Hadi Institute and its associated K-5 school, said that “every Muslim” should dream of the opportunity to engage in jihad against the enemy. He added that he hoped parents in the audience were raising their children with that concept.
In another part of the event, the crowd heard the story of Abdullah, the 11-year-old orphan of Hassan, the great-grandson of the Prophet, and was told to pray that children “grow up just like Abdullah” — willing to give their lives for the imam.
