The Dearborn, Michigan Hadi Institute held an event to "commemorate the martyrs" on January 5, 2024, in which speakers praised Qods Force commander Qassem Soleimani, leader of Iran-backed Iraqi militia Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, and the "martyrs" killed during the recent war. Hassan Salami recited poetry that praised Soleimani and Al-Muhandis and accused ISIS of being the "slave" of the CIA and Mossad. He said that this is the reason ISIS targeted the gravesite of Soleimani on the anniversary of his death, instead of attacking Israel. Salami claimed that the "elites" who run the United States and the world seek to subdue humanity through the obscene and the "Mossad's Jeffery Epstein." He continued to say that this is the reason Israel aired pornography on Palestinian news channels and that "polluted" movies and shows are made accessible worldwide. Imam Usama Abdulghani said that the Jews believe they are the "children of God" and that Israel "has put the Nazis to shame." Video of the event was streamed live on Light of Guidance on YouTube.
Hassan Salami: "The last commemoration we had... I don't know I fit was the last one or the one before – for Hajj Qasem [Soleimani], this was found on one of these Israeli Zionist propaganda websites, which shows that clarifying the image of these people is considered dangerous to the Zionist regime.

"Allah be praised, the awakening started through Palestine, so let us expand on the truth that should be seen. In all aspects of life, through the lines of their propaganda we must read between, for that is how they conquer this world. It first starts with conquering your soul and your religion, it has always been the strategy of the devils to subdue men and women through the obscene. We don't need to wait for the scandal of the Mossad's Jeffrey Epstein, the elites who run this country, this world, and their crimes, to know their strategy is to incite animalistic lusts as a direct deviation from the divine.

"That is why when Israel conquered Ramallah, they aired pornography on Palestinian news stations, why they make accessible polluted Western movies and shows that are translated into every language.

"Remember that Hajj Qasem and Hajj Abu Mahdi [Al-Muhandis] were the reason that ISIS was being destroyed and that every ISIS fighter deployed was the secret army of U.S. and Israeli intelligence, their puppet masters playing with them like toys. That is why during this war, ISIS is attacking – not Israel – but the visitors of Hajj Qasem's grave. Has it not become apparent to the world that ISIS is an Israeli and American intelligence slave?

"It was ISIS along with the CIA and Mossad that were facilitating the abuse of Yazidi women in Iraq."

Usama Abdulghani: "I address my warmest congratulations to the sources of authority, and to our very special Leader Imam Khamenei.

"Remember the verse of the Quran that we have covered about the Jews is them saying that they are the 'children of God.' There are some people who believe that they are a chosen people.

"How it plays out is what you are seeing in Gaza. This didn't just start now. This is 75 years of this horrendous behavior.
[...]
"Why is Israel so important? Because Israel is a big part of the puzzle. There is a world order based on social classes.

"If Israel falls, a lot of things are going to fall. For some people, they woke up in COVID, some people woke up with 9/11. Israel is going to make – and has made – a lot of people wake up. The mask has come off. Before this, Israel used to be able to hide behind that simple trick of antisemitism, and people would fall for it again and again. But now Israel has put the Nazis to shame. ISIS has to hang their heads because of what the Israelis are doing."
