      It’s not quite the “fell for it again” award. It’s the “duped because I’m ignorant about history” award. Even if you are against Khamenei and the cleric class of leaders, the Americans are not, and never will be, your friends.

          So they’re from the “America is the land of milk and honey, where there is endless opportunity, and dreams can come true” generation of migrants.

          My own family is the same, but the illusion has been shattered for them over the last several years.

          Crazy how you use the word serving. It is not serving , it is participating in Illegal wars

        I’d be curious of any diaspora differences. How would a Swedish Irani expat’s opinions differ from an Irani from Teh-ronto or Tehr-angeles?

    Source?

    Edit: I saw this video mentioned in the press on February 28th, but I’m intrigued by the reference to them being ex-Muslims.

          You should hate the israel cultists who are doing settler colonialism and genocide right now. Islamophobia is a hate speech like antisemetism

              I used the word hate Muslims not Islam. You are basically hating 2 millions of people if you really believe that and used the word Israel as a state which is committing the worst crime possible genocide not it’s people .

              No matter how much someone hate Islam , using it as a justification for genocide is so twisted

                  I talked about the other guy justifying genocide because he hate muslims. Instead of agreeing with me you started talking about bullshit and defending the guy by justifying his hate

    Is this like one of those fake Venezuelan freedom videos after Meduro’s capture?
