Michael Moore says “evildoer” Christians have a mission to “train” Americans to despise Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

The director of “Fahrenheit 9/11” took to Twitter and Facebook to convince fans that psychological warfare would begin in the wake of President Trump’s airstrike on the Quds force leader.

“Hello fellow Americans,” Mr. Moore tweeted with a picture of Soleimani. “Do you know this man? Did you know he was your enemy? What? Never heard of him? By the end of today you will be trained to hate him. You will be glad Trump had him assassinated. You will do as you are told. Get ready to send your sons & daughters off 2 war.”

The Hollywood activist also defended Quds force — a designated terrorist organization since 2007 — on Facebook.

Mr. Moore recounted the story of “The Three Wise Men” and then asserted that Christian Americans have poorly “returned the favor” for gifts offered after Jesus’ birth.

“The professed Christian in the White House ordered the assassination of one of the country’s leaders, a fighter of the evildoers who called themselves Christians,” Mr. Moore wrote Friday. “By that time, in the Year of our Lord 2020, most people had forgotten the story of the Iranian men on their camels who rode to honor the Christ who had come to earth to bring peace.”

“Give [Christians you know] a copy of the full chapter from the Koran that honors and tells the story of ’Mary, the Mother of Jesus,’ a woman revered by all Muslims. They just can’t help themselves from liking us,” Mr. Moore continued. “Sad that we are unable to reciprocate with anything other than murder.”
