Iran vs. Israel: A Complex Stance
Mohammed HijabWhat is your stance on, you know, supporting Iran and defeating Israel, who I believe is a greater evil? And I think that if Iran can, you know, be a bully like Israel, then that's a much bigger threat to us and to other Muslims. But what is your stance on the whole Iran and Israel situation?
Mohammed HijabI think you said it in a good way. I think my stance and your stance are probably identical in the sense that we might not agree with Iran or the regime, and we might actually even say that they've committed genocides in Syria and they've done lots of horrible things. Actually, they probably contributed to apostasy in their own country at a rate that is probably never precedented in Islamic history.

So that leadership needs to take stock of its actions and see what we're doing that are making these people hate us like this, like our populace. If they don't do that, then I think, um, there's no introspection from their side. Yeah.
But at the same time, I mean, it doesn't take a genius to realize that if it's a matter of is it Iran or Israel, there's no question who we support in
