As always, Islamic theocracy evolves into repressive dictatorship and then, into brutal instrument of repression and enslavement.
Islam is the earthly incarnation of Satan's Kingdom: Hell, come to the living.
Are you kidding me? All societies with a theocracy, regardless of faith, lead to repression or some form of it according to specific beliefs. By far, worse atrocities have been committed by other religions, such as Christianity, which even shows some influence today and still calls for repression of basic rights in certain governments among its believers in western societies. Your ignorant remarks clearly show your bigot understanding. The true teaching of the Qur'an, with no perverse interpretations that are commonly done, has more statements of equality, freedom, and social justice than any other holy book among popular religions.
''The true teaching of the Qur'an ... has more statements of equality, freedom, and social justice than any other holy book among popular religions.''
That sounds an awful like: ''My religion X is more true than their religion Y.''
Anyone who's life is already guided by a holy book, I fear has too much remaining to learn about life than they have time devote. Sadly, they can hide from that reality by continued groveling in their chosen Holy book(s).
Should have typed ...
''sounds an awful like'' --> ''sounds an awful lot like''
''have time devote'' --> ''have time to devote''
In 1953, CIA and British secret service members instigated the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected government. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ajax
It is clear that these riots in Iran are a repeat of that incident, and that western media agencies are consciously aiding and abetting the rioters.
