Structurology of Martyr General Qasem Soliemani’s School of Thought
It is quite obvious that every product, both from the material and spiritual point of view, is the result of the evolution of a general trend. Now, if we were to agree that intellectual and ideological trends, right from their beginning to the end, are subject to a definite path and certain en-route stops, without going through which the intended ends will not be obtained, it can be concluded that the practical school of thought of Sardar Soleimani is a complete and evolved movement.

General Qasem Soleimani: Iconic Martyr of the Century
Though the 21st/15th century, like its predecessors, has witnessed far too many martyrs, only one name is currently rising to world-historical status: that of General Qasem Soleimani, commander and inspiration of the Axis of Resistance that is transforming the Muslim East and, with it, the world. On January 3, 2020, General Soleimani was murdered in the most odiously cowardly fashion imaginable. Soleimani was ambushed by gutless drone operators who would need to wear adult diapers and leg irons if they ever faced actual combat. Their even more cowardly commander-in-chief who authorized the slaughter, a certain Donald J. Trump, had avoided the Vietnam-era draft by claiming to have a vague problem with his foot. Trump—a certified narcissist, sociopath, dullard, and child-molesting rapist pervert—relayed the order to kill Gen. Soleimani from Trump’s boss, Benjamin Netanyahu, whose intelligence service had employed Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to obtain blackmail material documenting Trump’s criminal sex habits.

Martyr Soleimani is More Alive than Ever
We should offer our condolences to the relatives of Martyr Soleimani and the people of Iran, but I want to express my joy that Iran has raised such sons. Not only in words but in his action, Soleimani testified about eternal life and one who testifies this cannot be dead and annihilated. He is rather more alive than ever. Martyr Soleimani sacrificed his life for his religious beliefs and his homeland and left this world beautifully. I do not agree with making a comparison between life and death. Martyr Soleimani lived an exalted life and sacrificed his life for his beliefs, Imam, and the interests of his country and people
The Role of Haaj Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis in Saving Iraq from ISIS
When Al-Hashd al-Sha’bi (Popular Mobilization Forces) was formed and when ISIS emerged and occupied Mosul and Al-Anbar provinces - of course, Al-Anbar was not fully occupied and only some parts of it had come under their occupation - America forces were present in Iraq with all their helicopters, cannons, tanks, arms and ammunition, and the so-called set up to fight terrorism. This was when their stand towards us became absolutely clear. They refused to equip our forces and they refused to supply us with helicopters and tanks. They even stopped giving us Hummer vehicles and refused to provide us with the equipment required to fight terrorism; while they (the terrorists) were equipped when certain special arms. We could not even get the arms and the equipment we had paid them for. For example, instead of giving us M1 Abrams tanks, they would give us such tanks the range of the bullets of which was only 600 meters. This was the stand of Americans towards us.
People’s Status in Martyr Soleimani’s School of Thought
He (Sardar Soleimani) had several beliefs with regard to people. His first belief was that people are not counter-revolutionaries and cannot even be counter-revolutionaries. He spoke very comfortably and very firmly and with conviction about this issue. He firmly believed that the people of Iran are religious and revolutionary and that it was not as if they were going to leave their revolution under pressure.
