Dearborn Heights, Michigan Islamic Scholar Ahmad Qazwini: In This Country, You Can Buy Politicians Like You Buy Slaves Or Prostitutes—AIPAC Buys Them To Support The Zionists; We Should Raise $100 Million To Buy Donald Trump

In an October 27, 2024, lecture at the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, MI, Shi'ite religious scholar Ahmad Qazwini claimed that politicians in America can be bought like slaves or prostitutes. He argued that AIPAC "buys" politicians to support "the Zionists" and that Miriam Adelson bought Trump to "destroy the Palestinians." Qazwini proposed that Shi'ites raise $100 million to "buy" presidential candidate Donald Trump in order to "destroy the Palestinians."

The lecture was streamed live on the Islamic Institute of America's YouTube channel, which recently hosted a memorial service for Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Notably, Ahmad Qazwini delivered the invocation at an NAACP conference in May, where President Joe Biden was the keynote speaker, and he attended alongside his father, Hassan Qazwini, the imam of the Islamic Institute of America.

Ahmad Qazwini: "We have to sit down and really come up with some efforts in how to change this continuous blind support for the Zionists and we can change it internally, brothers and sisters, we can change it because politicians in this country worship themselves, they worship their seats. You can buy them in the same way that you buy a slave. Some will even go in the same way that you would buy a prostitute. You buy these individuals, they all have a price, that's why AIPAC has bought all of them. The more money it gives them, the more they will be pro-Israel and pro-Zionist.

"It's not a coincidence, brothers and sisters. I was reading the other day the wife of Sheldon Adelson, Miriam Adelson, Zionist, billionaire Zionist here, right? She's promised, I don't know $200 million for Donald Trump if he gets rid of the Palestinians. If someone takes a check out and gives Donald Trump $200 million to destroy the Zionists, he's going to do it. But you know what the problem is? We don't put our money where our mouths are. We just like complaining. You don't think we Shiites have money?

[...]

"We can buy those politicians.

[...]

"Start a... some trust or fund. Let's raise $100 million so we can buy Trump.

[...]

"I wish we could start a fundraiser to buy Trump."
