The Ayatollah's men in Europe

Iranian currency

The Ayatollahs in Iran have established a vast network of mosques and other organizations across Europe to export and organize their nefarious activities. We will begin with their network in the most Northern European country, Norway, and in future articles further examine the situation in other European countries.

Norway's Police Security Service (PST) reportedly has asked for the imam of the Imam Ali Shia mosque in Oslo to be expelled. The unnamed imam's expulsion is pending a decision by Norway's judiciary, but the reason to expel him has been reported as "based on national security interests."

Who is this Iranian imam in Oslo and why is he considered a national security risk for Norway?

Iranian sources who have followed the case in Norway identify this imam as HojjatolIslam Seyyed Mostafa Motahari, who went to Oslo from Iran in 2016.

The imam allegedly works for Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and has connections with an Iranian-Norwegian dual national, Mohammad Davoudzadeh Loloei, who was found guilty by a Danish court in June of collecting information about Iranian exiles in Denmark. Loloei gave the information about one of the subjects "to a person working for an Iranian intelligence service for use by the intelligence service's plans to kill the exile," the court said.

Davoudzadeh entered Norway eight years ago as a bogus asylum seeker and then obtained Norwegian citizenship.

Motahari's mosque website is in Persian and its Norsk and English links are broken. Its About Us mentions no names of mosque leaders and claims it is "an independent public and religious institution with no ties to any government." READ MORE
