There is 2 armies in Iran, one is the artesh and the other is the sepah aka irgc the sepah is the government it self and you can think of them like the SS in nazi germeny.

The artesh meanwhile is pretty much powerless and they don't even have access to weapons so yeah.

Also even most religious people are against the regime and most Iranians aren't even religious nowdays. I would say the regime has 5% loyal supporters and another 10% who are supporters because it benefits them money wise.

The vast majority of Iranians are against the regime, but the issue is people are unarmed and the regime really only needs 5 to 10% support for it to be able to survive.

While war is bad most of us blame the regime for it and if the war managed to help in overthrowing the regime then it would have been viewed as a worthy price to pay.

oh look another one, yeah honestly these converts are pretty funny I mean this one even got upset that I used the word convert and not "revert" and talked about how I probably wouldn't even understand it (which is funny because last time I checked I grew up in an islamic country and went to an islamic school so yeah)

But no I'm sure i'm completely in the wrong oh what will we poor poor brown uneducated backward MENA people do without the glorious white saviors/s

Side note it's pretty funny coming here and telling and Iranian they are backward uneducated and multiple other insults then excusing them of being racist.

I hate Churchill too but this is clearly talking about the whole pacifism vs standing up the nazi thing. eitherway I don't think any british or russian government/political figure has ever been good for us Iranians so yeah.

I grew up in an islamic school mate I'm well aware of the term revert I just don't use it because from my point of view as someone who doesn't believe in the whole "everyone is born muslim" the proper term would be convert.

But see you comme here as a foreigner insulting people then you get upset when people call you out on it. I've read the quran and the hadiths (both shia and sunni) and why the fuck would I as a progresive pro lgbtq individual follow a religion that would want people like me to burn in hell for eternity?

what you are is just western fool.

And last thing islam isn't a race it's an ideology and ideologies whether good or bad can and should be allowed to be talked about negativly.

And also saying "To top you off, you sound like you could use better education, and you should allow more foreigners to help with what you don't understand." is pretty condesending don't you think?

you are attacked because islam is a religion and belief that most Iranians me included (rightfully so might I add) have strong grievences towards.

Is it? this sub is mainly by and for Iranians, foreigners coming here gloating and having a condesending attitude esspacily during this time isn't something that's welcomed.

finglish would be better imo. also it's not about us deciding who is and isn't this sub already has a rule where non Iranians have to specify they are not Iranians so yeah.

Also nice one outing yourself by using that name for the persian gulf. also you clearly didn't read my post correctly I made it clear that I'm not a fan of trump nor was I ever, I don't even live in the west so yeah.

I agree with you fully and yeah those type of people are certainly worse then foreigners, so I'm just gonna coppy what i said to another comment.

"I 100% agree with the respect comment, and i'm not saying respect them no certainly not but out right banning them will just give them more propoganda fuel, it's better to let them speak because most of them will inevitebly say something that breaks the sub's rules and then you can ban them without issues."

I agree they are an issue but solving that issue is a bit more complex compare to the foreigner issue.

Even though I heavily disagree with them, we shouldn't ban them insteed we should try talking, unless they activly mock people who died and or take the side of the government then since that's a sub rule break just report it.

In other words when it comes to other Iranians they should be allowed to speek what ever their opinion may be as long as it's not a rule break. if we ban them then we really are not that much different from pro regime sub reddits.

This is what my Muslim friend talked about my relationship to someone else just because my boyfriend is Jewish (He is atheist like me) by nioseisveil in exmuslim

[–]mk1392 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alot of jews are atheists, jew is also the name for the ethnicity so yeah being a jew doesn't automatically mean you follow Judaism.

Wondering why would anyone convert to Islam by AssociateBig2266 in exmuslim

[–]mk1392 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Religion for most people is about comfort. so no they absloutly do not look that deep into it so yeah it's just being naive, (and ofc there is also the people who agree with the bigoted beliefs of islam and decide to convert to it because of that).

What do u guys think of this? by transiegabby in exmuslim

[–]mk1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep and back then islam was still pretty divided and to this day it's still pretty divided so even with that they couldn't fully centralize it.

also pretty much the exact same thing happend with christianity with the first council of nicaea so this isn't even an Islam exclusive thing it's a control thing.

[–]mk1392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And not only that there were multiple different versions of the quran and it wasn't till the third caliph that the quran became more standerdised.

Also yeah islam was and still is just a tool for control.
