Iran, if compared to most big countries except maybe India, Egypt and Latin American ones, is a paragon of humanism. They are at war with so many other countries because they behave like they are supposed to, while those others behave like Israel right now.
Of course murder, torture and rape of protesters is not something I'd sign under. It's just that some things come down to numbers and make Iran better.
Have you seen what happens to Muslims in India? Hindu nationalists are using Gaza as a model for how they should run Kashmir.
There are much more Muslims living in India than just those in Kashmir. They also have regions where Muslims treat Christians that way. India is big. That said, yes, it sucks, but Kashmir is a situation where "both sides" can be used honestly. It's just that somehow Europeans and Americans like to consider Muslims the oppressed group number one. Usually they are the oppressors.
Locking people up for their gender, sexuality or for listening to pop music is okay with you?
You fool.
As compared to beheading them for their ethnicity, yes. So until Azerbaijan is sanctioned and put to its place, please shut up. We all care more about things closer to us, but one is worse than the other.
