Controversial Debate Between Dr. Azad Farsani and Dr. Mehdi Khazali Regarding Islam’s Lies

Dr. Azad Farsani and Dr. Mehdi Khazali engaged in a debate regarding Islam, Shiism, and its connection to the repression occurring these days.

A video that went viral on social networks today shows a debate from a month ago between Dr. Farsani and Dr. Khazali regarding the suppression of people and its connection to Islam and Shiism. This video has been re-circulated in cyberspace to awaken the sleeping people and make them aware of the lies, falsifications, fabrications, and true nature of the defenders of Islamic law, so they may rise to achieve Iran’s freedom with a culture and civilization spanning thousands of years and overthrow a system built upon Islam and Islamic law rather than upon humanity.

Dr. Azad Farsani is a graduate of theology with a focus on Islamic philosophy and Islamic scholasticism from Imam Sadiq University in Tehran. He is also a researcher of philosophy and religion, as well as a political activist seeking to overthrow the Islamic Republic regime. He was considered a Quran memorizer and prodigy of Imam Sadiq University and has also studied for his doctorate in Western philosophy at Isfahan University. He was a philosophy professor at Payame Noor University but was expelled by the Ministry of Intelligence from his place of study and teaching. He currently lives in Michigan, United States.

Dr. Azad believes that philosophy has freed him from the ideology of political Islam and the Islamic Republic, and he has become a strong critic of Islam, Islamic law, and the Islamic Republic.

His debate with Dr. Khazali, which took place amidst the system’s repression of people and the poisoning of students’ knowledge, led Dr. Farsani to unveil the reality of Shiite Imams and the Quran and expose the lack of morality and decorum in Islam and Shiism. In this debate, Dr. Khazali introduced Islam, Shiism, and the Ahl al-Bayt as promoters of good ethics, decorum, and education, and claimed that the way of Muslims and Shiites is not violence, obscenity, and insult to anyone. As a result of this claim, Dr. Farsani, by referring to reliable sources of Shiite narratives and hadith, points to the obscenities in the Quran and the Imams, including Muhammad, Ali, and Sadiq, to prove that Islam and Shiism are nothing but lies and the only thing missing from them is decorum and humanity.

Dr. Khazali stated in his remarks that we oppose knife-wielding and ceremonial dagger violence in the streets and believe that society must be built with the pen and not with the dagger. We fight with the pen and culture. We certainly stand against obscenity and insults with evidence. We defend the oppressed and women who are assaulted in the streets.

Continuing this debate, Dr. Farsani, while pointing to Dr. Khazali’s confusion between cause and effect, said: “Religion is the effect and Islam and Islamic government are the cause. The crimes that your Islam and Islamic government have committed are the reason for this. You speak of the pen; I myself have written 6 volumes of books with my pen and criticized the Islamic Republic system in them, but I was arrested and banned from teaching and forced to flee life in Iran.”

He referred to the obscenities that Dr. Khazali discussed and added: “I have no concern with your quarrels and obscenities; I see people who are being killed.”

Dr. Farsani, by referring to the Quran and Shiite books and narratives brought by the Imams, began precisely citing pages and verses and unveiled the insults, obscenities, recklessness, and massacres by Shiite Imams, and with these tumultuous statements in this debate, he deprived Dr. Khazali of the right to speak.

Dr. Farsani, by referring to the narratives read from available sources, showed that the only thing Islam and the defenders of Islamic law lack is morality, decorum, and humanity, and the obscenities of the regime’s agents, repression, arrests, massacres, fornication, and sodomy perpetrated by the Islamic Republic system are derived from the Quran and the Shiite Imams of Islam.
