Why the Islamic regime in Iran kills its own people. Short answer: they don’t see Iranians as their people. 1,400 years ago, Muslims conquered Persia. They killed thousands and forced people to convert. Yet even then, they couldn’t fully dominate the culture. Islam is actually Arabian culture, but Iranians kept their customs and language. After a few hundred years, Iran got free from Arab rulers—but Islam remained the religion. 47 years ago, Islamist clerics won the power grab in the revolution and, for the first time since Arab rule ended, became rulers themselves—most of them wearing black turbans, which means they’re descended from Arabs (yes, that’s the literal meaning). Over the past 47 years, they’ve tried to turn Iranian culture into Islamic culture in a systematic way—brainwashing children from elementary school—and they’ve also tried to export their ideology to other countries. Their biggest obstacle, their worst enemy, has been Iranians themselves. That’s why they now see the people of Iran as their enemy: People vs. Allah. Islamic ideology doesn’t coexist; it seeks dominance. Many countries across the region were forced to surrender their identity. Iranians are still resisting. So when you see Iranians being massacred in, understand it as a much deeper conflict between Iran and Islamists. - @amir2017x
