Reply to comment by Uumm_wat in Iranian Couple Sentenced To 21 Years For Dancing In Support Of Protests by inAbigworld

I hate this thing where people hedge their criticism of Iran or some other awful place by also criticizing the west.

It's like someone reading about people starving half the world away and saying "starving there, too much unhealthy fast food making people overweight here. Wow nutrition really is a huge problem everywhere huh."

Not every corner of the earth is suffering from starvation 24/7 365. We also collectively work hard to reduce starvation as much as possible. We don’t want starvation to be occurring and many places are quite free of it.

Religion is vastly opposite to that.
