In that last post we saw a scion of the hard left acknowledge and welcome the Islamic inspiration driving their battle against the West and the Jews. This video, from Dearborn Shiite “poet” Hassan Salamey at MEMRI TV, is the other side of the equation: an Islamist in praise of the glorious Islamic regime in Iran couched in terms of liberation from Western hegemony, imperialist crimes, secular and godless values, and the evil Zionists.
He even throws in a Martin Luther King pastiche – “In a religion where supremacy is not decided by being black or white, Arab or not, rich or poor, but by the content of the character and obedience to the Lord. And the fear of the ones who have us under control, who oppress and murder, is that this message will go beyond Iran’s borders and expand even further.”
And they buy it. Idiots like Palestine Action’s Calla Walsh actually buy this stuff. They think an Islamic theocracy – currently butchering its best young people – is a progressive force against the evils of western liberal democracy.
