    How about religion in politics needs to be fucking snuffed out? Stop cherry picking which religious theocracy you’re willing to oppose for the feel goods.

      Fix your fucking country first, dog, before you start yapping about the rest.

      Supporting the U$ oppression of Iran through some kind of thinly veiled “anti-theocracy” stance is just “great white burden 2.0”.

        My country isn’t stoning women and gay men to death in the street in the name of our religion. Religious and theocratic just the same but not in equal measure. Fuck Iran.

          From what I can tell, Iran executed about 2 people per year for being LGBT (exact stats are hard to find). The USA killed 32 trans people alone last year. Was that not because of religion?
