Dear New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Texas Governor Greg Abbott,  House Speaker Dustin Burrows, Lieutenant Governor and President of the Senate Dan Patrick and National Counterterrorism Center,

The Middle East Media Research Institute published an article on April 11, 2026 that reports in part:

Texas Shi’ite scholar Jawad Wahedi spoke at a 40th-day memorial for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at the Shah-e-Najaf Islamic Center in Brentwood, New York, on April 10, 2026. A representative of the mosque shared a quote by Khamenei about martyrdom.

Wahedi is the resident scholar at the Metroplex Organization of Muslims in North Texas (MOMIN) in Dallas. The memorial was streamed live on the Shah-e-Najaf Islamic Center’s official YouTube channel, but it was taken down on April 12 and no longer appears on the Long Island mosque’s channel….

Mosque representative who spoke before Jawad Wahedi:  “Khamenei said that let’s say you have a life, you know it’s going to end, because it’s like ice, and it’s going to end one day”

“So there’s a buyer who comes and wants to buy your life from you, and in return, he wants you to give Janna, which is Paradise, and Paradise is nothing but mercy and a blessing.  So why wouldn’t you make a deal with Allah “

“This deal is coming through from Allah.  You give your life – martyrdom - and you get a blessing forever.  You will have this forever.”

Jawad Wahedi: “This great martyr [Khamenei] is indeed, without a doubt, one of the greatest martyrs, and without a shred of doubt, he is the greatest martyr in our era. Not only his life gave fruits and guidance, and served the cause of Islam, but his martyrdom also served Islam….

“We lost a great martyr, brothers and sisters. We mourn, and this U.S. government and this Israeli regime committed the worst crime that they have committed, the worst crime – an attack, an assassination, a terrorist attack against a marja [religious authority].

It may be too late for Europe to recover from the Islamist invasion but it is not too late for Americans to stop it from happening here.

Please put Texas Shi’ite scholar Jawad Wahedi and the Shah-e-Najaf Islamic Center on the highest level of terror surveillance.
