The Morning Report — 1/13/26

Good morning kids. Starting off with the continued and escalating internal unrest in Iran, here is a very interesting and rather telling development:

Iranian demonstrators set mosques ablaze during heated protests against the country’s Islamic government, according to local video and reports this weekend. Protesters in Iran have set numerous fires since the riots broke out Dec. 28, with Tehran’s fire department claiming as many as 34 mosques were burned, according to multiple outlets. One video verified by NBC News showed a crowd cheering Friday night while a Tehran mosque became engulfed in flames. (RELATED: ‘Death To America’ Radical Complains She Got Detained By Customs After Iran Trip) The mass uprising reportedly began in response to economic woes but follows months of instances of women shedding their mandatory headwear in a statement against the country’s forced Islamic norms. Another video posted by Reuters showed a mob vandalizing the Abuzar Mosque in Tehran on Thursday, scattering furniture and laying incendiary devices. The Iranian regime has massacred hundreds while clamping down on the disorder, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists in Iran reports, according to The New York Post.

President Donald Trump on Jan. 2 hinted at possible military action if Iran kills protesters, leading to a social media duel with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the following days that involved the ayatollah posting an image of Trump in a coffin. Trump previously bombed multiple Iranian nuclear facilities amid conflict with Israel, marking the most overt U.S. military operation against the regime in years.

So, okay, why do I find this interesting and telling? Considering that Iran is a majority Muslim nation and that its government since 1979 has been a Muslim theocracy based on the strict tenets of Sharia law, that mosques are being torched by the protesters at the very least underscores a disaffection with the aforementioned. And admittedly, here is where I might be stretching things but nevertheless I am going to formulate a bit of an hypothesis and make an assumption.

Remember that the self-styled cognoscenti, elite and thought leaders have unceasingly been hocking a tchainik over our heads here in America and the west that Islam is a religion of peace and to dare even question that would be Islamophobic, bigoted and racist, etc. etc. ad nauseam.

Well then if that is the case then how to explain the Iranian Muslim "street" rising up and torching their own houses of worship if the shibboleths about Islam and Sharia as paragons of peace and moral order are as we have been forced to accept under pain of being labeled a racist xenophobe Islamophobe for defiance of that.

I'm sure the usual excuses will be given that just like the true believers who took down the World Trade Center were "extremists" who bastardized the true meaning of Islam or were Israeli Mossad agents or even Americans sent in by President Trump or both if you're Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. But that of course is nonsense.

So, here's my take. It tells me that the Persian/Iranian people have taken to the streets not merely to replace the Muallhs with other Mullahs. They recognize it's the entire system that is corrupt, inept, destructive and lethal to their thriving as a functioning and advancing society. Prior to 1979, Iran was a modern, flourishing and western-oriented (politically and culturally) nation. And that is still within living memory of many Iranians and it is something that the younger generations are desperate to return to.

Here's where maybe I'm stretching things a bit and quite possibly wish-casting — Look at Iran's history prior to 1979, the excesses of the Shah and Mossadegh notwithstanding, ask any average Iranian expat and they'll tell you that life under them was paradise compared to what Khomeini and his successors wrought.

Now look at present day Turkey through that lens. A secular, modern, society thanks to Kemal Ataturk and turned into an Islamic thugocracy through the tyrannical rule of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his AKP since 2002. Could what's happening in Iran spread to Turkey?

On the down side, you'll recall the 2011 "Arab Spring" demonstrations that led to the downfall of a number of Arab Islamic governments primarily in North Africa but instead of resulting in the rise of small "D" democratic forces led to the ascendancy of the Muslim Brotherhood in the region and its malign influence in the ensuing years.

Lest we forget that Afghanistan at one time was also a fairly modern society until the coming of the Taliban and then of course the Soviet Invasion and later our insane Democracy Project in the wake of 9/11 and Gulf War 2. Result, over 3,000 American soldiers dead, Taliban still there and weaponized courtesy of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants snap bug-out of 2020 with untold numbers of Afghani jihadists here in our country given political asylum.

In any case, the Cliff Notes version of the above is, I suppose, I'm wondering can Islam reform itself? That is is what we are witnessing in Iran a scintilla of hope that we are not doomed for all time to face an existential threat from the followers of Mohammed

Then again, the bitter irony is that as Teheran and Istanbul duke it out over which one gets to be the capital of a global caliphate, or perhaps both turning a new leaf and experiencing an enlightenment and rebirth as paragons of western civilization, Europe and the West become the axis upon which a reenergized and even more virulent Islam rotates. When the #1 baby name in England and other nations is Mohammed, the future doesn't look so bright.

And while mosques may be burning in Iran, Yet another synagogue went up in flames. This time in of all places Jackson, Mississippi:

Federal prosecutors say the man accused of torching Mississippi’s oldest and largest synagogue admitted he selected the building because of its connection to Judaism.

Authorities arrested a suspect, Stephen Spencer Pittman, Saturday night. Investigators said an intentionally set fire gutted Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Miss. Federal prosecutors said Monday that the man charged with torching the synagogue admitted he targeted the building because of its “Jewish ties,” after police arrested him at a hospital where he was treated for burn injuries from the early-morning fire, according to The New York Times.

Investigators identified Pittman after his father contacted the FBI and reported that his son had confessed to starting the fire, according to an affidavit filed in federal court Monday. Location data from a tracking app running on Pittman’s cellphone reinforced that account, showing him leaving his home in a Jackson suburb, stopping at a gas station to buy fuel, and then driving directly to the synagogue. . . Prior to this incident, another high-profile attack targeted a synagogue in Manchester, England, where a man killed two people outside the building, highlighting broader security concerns surrounding Jewish houses of worship. The suspect, Jihad al-Shamie, was reportedly free on bail at the time of the synagogue attack after previously facing an alleged rape charge.

Synagogues are connected to Judaism? Wow, I'm shocked. Maybe he should've targeted the Weather Channel for a twofer, after all Jews control the weather and the media, nein?

In all seriousness, where did this bastard get the notion to torch a synagogue and attack Jews? Meh, where did the now deceased Renee Good get it in her head to use her SUV to try and ram ICE agents?
