but people who are already christian arent facing severe oppression

oppression right there case closed

spreading the gospel is an inherit part of christinaity

if you are not allowed to do that you are opressed

muslims also like to convert people

and they are allowed to

imagine if they were attempting to convert everyone in the UK

they are

but we allow them to

that's the difference

if it was getting to the point where they were going to change the nation's identity i'd do something

look at demographics

they have already won

ok bro

not being allowed to convert people doesnt exactly outweigh the work they've done in the middle east

what

being a counterweight to the US @unfriendly teapot

@bolivarian_robert are you denying that Iran's regime is ran by a gang of Islamist thugs?

They are actual terrorists and tyrants.

@GeorgyBoyo im not denying their islamists, i'd prefer a more left-wing government

but thats not very practical

i support them mostly cause of foreign policy

You support the Iranian regime?

yea because of their foreign policy

the shah was retarded

Excuse me?

Their foreign policy of terrorism?

How was Shah retarded?

their foreign policy of being a counterweight to the US

the shah was retarded because he was a puppet

installed by a US-backed coup

And the Islamists are better than that?

yeah

The people were far far better off during Shah

how

They study abroad and come back to Iran to work because they'd be making more money.
The people were a lot wealthier. They were actually advancing forward thanks to the liberals at the time.

Iran was highly respected, the relationship with the West, the arabs and the jews was at a very point.

Women actually had rights and werent treated as lesser citizens.

Islam hadn't fully taken over

yeah they had a relationship with the west because they were a literal US puppet lmfao

the shah was installed by the west

Now I'm not saying the US and especially the British did nothing wrong. Same with the Shah himself but saying Iran is better off now than during the King is just insanely stupid.

Puppet is a strong word, he was backed by the west but he was not their puppet. Overtime if the Islamic revolution didnt happen the liberals would slowly gain power and Shah would lose his.
