Our Stance on Iran War
We condemn the unilateral war launched by Trump and NetanSH*T against Iran and its sovereignty. This wasn’t defense. It wasn’t necessary. It was reckless.

Let’s be clear: this is NOT a “U.S. war.” It’s an ILLEGAL war—pushed by warmongers serving an “IsraSH*T First” crowd, not the American people.

We’re being dragged into another regime-change disaster. Iraq failed, Afghanistan failed. We’ve seen this movie. Doing the same dumb s**t again and expecting a different result? That’s insanity. The “mad king” label fits.

To our troops: are you really expected to risk your lives for political egos and genocidal maniacs? Is no one left willing to say, “This is wrong”?

To Congress: you were bypassed. The Constitution ignored. And you’re still playing ducks while democracy collapses in real time!

To the people of Iran: Obviously, we don’t care about governments. We care about YOU. We stand with ordinary people who deserve dignity, self-determination, freedom, and the right to defend your homeland from an illegal attack.

And to the UN: what exactly are you here for? Dissolve this crap! Billions spent, statements issued, and nothing changes. If you can’t uphold your own principles, what’s the point?

SANDY, Utah ( ) — Police arrested a suspect several days after the leader of the Utah Islamic Center was believed to have been followed and shot at in Sandy.
Abdul Raouf Afridi, 39, was arrested Saturday, facing 12 counts of aggravated assault in connection with a shooting on Monday night.

Imam Shuaib Din, leader of the Utah Islamic Center, said he was followed and shot at multiple times while driving to evening prayers. Din said the suspect pulled up next to him and fired several shots toward his vehicle.

“I think it was to hurt me,” Din said. “It’s not just once, it’s twice, and then eight shots—all directed at me. It’s by the mercy of God, His protection, that none of those eight bullets hit me.”

While the suspect is facing aggravated assault charges, the officer noted in the probable cause that it was possible the suspect intended to kill the victim.

“Your affiant believes that suspect attempted to kill the victim by waiting for them to leave their residence and then fired multiple shots at the victim while the victim was driving,” the officer wrote.

Officials with the Sandy Police Department did not comment on whether the incident is still being investigated as a possible hate crime, but noted that Din knew the suspect prior to the shooting.

“We will be working with the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office for the filing of formal charges related to this incident. This remains an active investigation, and we have no further updates at this time,” police said.
