Some random Western liberal: “Bro, Iran is 99% Shia Muslim. Islam is literally their DNA.”
And then some (apparently) Western conservative in response to Iranians in the diaspora who say “I’m Persian, not Muslim”:
“ […] There’s this one peculiar thing they’re encouraged to do called Taqiyya. It’s lying or any form of deception, from minor to long term, deep ‘undercover’ manipulation, that promotes & pushes the Isl*m agenda. So now, I never just blindly believe what they do or say…”
Meanwhile 📹👇 in Firuzabad, Fars Province; a traditionally conservative rural town in Iran’s Persian heartland that ranks in the upper half to top third of conservatism nationwide.
Significantly more traditional and religious than big cities like Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Ahvaz, etc.
If people are throwing Qurans into the water even here, in open rejection of the regime’s enforced theocracy, imagine what it looks like in more urban areas.
This isn’t Western, Zionist, or any other propaganda. It’s Iranians themselves showing that forced piety after 47 years has backfired. Islam may be the majority faith on paper, but it is not their immutable DNA. Large segments of society are increasingly rejecting Islam.
Face it and respect the Iranians’ right to reject and disown what has been forced upon them, instead of attacking them and hiding your own insecurity behind fake brands like “Islamophobia.” That’s pathetic.
And yes, Taqiyya is a documented Islamic doctrine of concealment under pressure, but applying it here to dismiss Persian/Iranian voices renouncing Islam is foolishly misplaced.
