>> Millions of muslims around the world viewed the Iranian theocracy as the only power in the world fighting for Islam. They are devastated.

> They are devastated but they are were totally quiet on the unarmed thirty thousands+ protesters the islamist iranian regime killed in a matter of days a few weeks ago.

One person's protestor is another's insurrectionist.

> If people keep their mouth shut when a regime murders 30 000+

This is done by diaspora lead by US, they started destroying public resources first and created public unrest on top of falling Rial due to sanctions, this lead the govt take matters in to their hands. Cunning US indeed, always playing cheap tricks.

US is a regime too, world largest one, with minions everywhere. They murdered around 1 million just in Iraq. This war is not only about nukes but also oil and trade routes. Iran did not try to spread Islamic in the west, they do not want to either.

My point is US should not try to interfere with other countries internal matters. International threats should be dealt with treaties.

Yeah but a good majority don't want Islam in Iran, Iran used to have a culture

The theocratic regime that rapes then kills school girls for not wearing hats was forced to gun down 30,000 of their own citizens, including many more school children.

The Supreme Leader before Khamenei preached that virgins need to be raped before execution so that they can't go to heaven. Sick people following a sick religion where their made up version of god would judge children based on if they were raped.

Yes they were silent about the Iranian regime's tyranny. Yes they are hypocrites.

So what?

It doesn't matter whether it suits you nor I. You calling them out has zero effect other than making you feel righteous. They don't hear you and even if they did they do not care a whit what you think.

They believe, with utter conviction, that martyrdom in service of Islam will be rewarded in the "hereafter". Their holy book tells them this explicitly. And there are millions of them.

Hence my comment.

They also believe that before they kill a schoolgirl because she won't wear hats, they should rape her so that she doesn't go to heaven. They believe that because Khamenei and his predecessor taught it to them (Google it if you don't believe me, they were literally taught the religious guidelines for how to murder girls and it included rape). In their made up religion they made up a God would judge children for being raped. What pieces of total shit.

That 30k number came from the same source the WMDs did - paid informants who knew exactly what they were being paid to deliver.

Same sales pitch, different war.

The standards of evidence some people will accept when America is hell bent on starting a war is so low it blows my mind.

Ive noticed that these people who try to guilt trip meek liberals over the alleged deaths of 30,000 people in Iran used to sell a war of aggression will almost always downplay or try to sow doubt about the genocide in gaza which america supported.

It's very remarkably similar to the way some of the most extreme racists on the planet used to try and guilt trip liberals by accusing them of being anti semitic.

The Iran official number was still 3,117.

It’s not that crazy to think the number is closer to 30k than to this.
