    I was raised Muslim, I was Muslim longer than you've been alive, I've been to Iran more than you, I've lived abroad and I have no hard feelings towards Islam. In my family there are Shiites, Sunnis, Buddhists and Christians. Like I said, the PR narratives you're regurgitating was created for a foreign audience. The stereotypes will not work on me.

    I know all these dirty tricks. You know full well Iranians would never admit on any census what they really believe. This is how it goes: "Just say I'm Shiite, I don't want problems."

    Either you're intentionally trying to evade people or the nicest thing I can say is you're actually so ignorant about Iran that you think people are going to be like "put me down as agnostic".

    The Iranian people have no control over who gets installed. They do not want a puppet nor do they want the mullahs but they are just going to take what's forced on them. None of this is really their choice. The last and only choice Iranians have ever made was Mosadegh.

    Stop pretending like you know Iran, I've called you out on so much propaganda. You're spinning extremist mullah propaganda and pretending to be an expert just cause you visited Qom for a religious pilgrimage as a tourist. The majority of Iranians and Shiites do not agree with you.

    The people of Iran have always been and will always be freedom-seeking since the day Cyrus the Great invented the practice of secular governance, till the Shah became one of the first monarchs on earth to voluntarily hand a government over to a Democratic Parliament and all the way until they swallow up whatever new puppet is put in place after this fiasco. Iran is no place for those obsessed with keeping things archaic. That's a history lesson on Iran for your ass.

    The only "propaganda" you caught me posting was a single fake video that a large account posted which I stopped from him afterwards. You're the one spewing propaganda that all the protesters are being paid by the regime and it's all one huge conspiracy. Do you know how crazy you sound?

    I've been visiting Iran for sometime now and my wife family are part of the syed tribe and are very well connected. I know the Iranian shiite landscape better than you which is why I'm laughing my ass off at your insane claims that, "majority of shiite Muslims in Iran don't pray a single time."

    I've never spewed mullah propaganda. Khamenei is a garbage individual but he's still more moderate than his son. Iran put forward a very reasonable proposal which included their entire uranium program being dismantled with full monitoring which the USA rejected.

    It's honestly funny that you live in Dubai while pretending you know how Muslims feel when you're in the most white washed city in the region

    Propaganda: fake videos, telling people these demonstrations are representative, claiming 70% of Muslims are practicing Shiites, among others.

    Another one we have to kick to the curb: you obviously visited Dubai like a tourist and hung out with some tourists and you think that's Dubai. You know why? Because you don't know anything about this region. I have no emotional attachment to Dubai other than I live here. Your British tabloid headlines don't bother me, I don't love it here either.

    I know your type. You are mad that these monarchs befriended Israel and now you celebrate when the people who have no say in it get hurt. You're celebrating fish getting shot in a barrel while the leaders are all in bunkers.

    Syeds are a dime a dozen in this region and no one actually native to Islam cares. Full of fake ones in the world too. Your prophet told you not to worship bloodlines btw. An ultra religious family in Qom tells you nothing about Iran. Iran is massive. Like I told you before, visiting the Vatican doesn't mean you understand Italy. Visiting Wall Street doesn't mean you understand America. You are behaving like the people who go on an Israeli government tour and then pretend to understand Palestine.

    This is all mullah propaganda whether you know it or not. That's why you don't know a damn thing about them outside of the Shiite religion. You're reducing a nation to your wife's family's culture.

    You have to learn more about Iran outside your "Syed" circle. I'm telling you the honest truth. The first 5-6 times I went, that's what I thought Iran was. You will not understand Iran by visiting Qom and hanging out with a religious family. You simply do not know enough about Iran. Any Iranian we pick off the street who has lived both in and out of Iran will laugh at the notion that a lot of people are mourning that dude's death.

    No offense you know nothing about me and should quit pretending you can read people off the internet. You are upset cuz I said most Arabs in the gulf states have zero sympathy for Israel and are cheering on military targets being attacked in their gulf country. USA favorabilty ratings in the region are near rock bottom. Trumps approval rating is in the low 20% globally.

    You should quit pretending you know what Arabs think while you literally live in Dubai and surrounded brainwashed individuals. You can't handle the truth

    I have a close friend in Islamabad who said the cops are pointing ak47 at the crowd by the pm house. It might get really ugly quick. Protestors want criminal charges against the people who killed the Pakistanis. Government can't do that obviously

    This **** is the stuff MAGATS don't think about

    Monkey, I'm Arab and Iranian among other things, have zero sympathy for the state of Israel, have lived in the region and abroad. Your template talking points won't work. You're embarrassing yourself.

    I'm happy to talk to anyone obviously but he genuinely doesn't understand that he has only understood a tiny slice of Iranian society.

    He visits Persians who make believe they're related to an Arab prophet from mecca and he thinks he knows Iran. I don't know what kind of twisted logic this is but he must be under a lot of stress. His wife's family have probably profited a ton from these mullahs if they live in Qom and think they're Syeds. Very high chance.

    I was being sarcastic. It’s a good joke because of what you cited and the socio-political geographic ignorance of most Americans. ;)

    Trump's stated goal is regime change. Iran had a democratically elected Prime Minister, with a constitutional monarchy. The US literally overthrew him and installed the Shah. The Shah was then overthrown with the Islamic republic.

    The US is now parading around the old Shah's son. Are we going to allow them a democracy? It doesn't seem like it. Will the remnants of the Islamic Republic just go away? Will something worse form in the void? Who will China back? Who will Russia back?

    Destroying things is the easy part. It took 20 years to stabilize Iraq. How will that happen in Iran without boots on the ground? The population of Iran is twice that of Iraq.
