Dearborn Heights, Michigan Shi'ite scholar Ahmad Qazwini said at a December 13, 2024 Friday sermon at the Islamic Institute of America that it is impossible for a Muslim to lose against a Zionist on the battlefield, because the Muslim will either kill the Zionist and send him to Hell, or he will be killed by the Zionist and will go to Paradise. He said: "How can you lose? It's a win-win situation." He said that this reality is "soothing and comforting when we see all the difficulties unfolding before our eyes these days," adding that the "greatest losers" today are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Biden Administration, and the Arab regimes which collaborate with the Zionists in killing Muslims.
Ahmad Qazwini: "Can you lose against a Zionist in the battlefield? It's impossible to lose, because there is one of two scenarios, one of two outcomes. Either you kill him and you send him to Hell – you've prevailed – or he kills you and he sends you to Paradise. What other option is there? How can you lose? It's a win-win situation.
