Question for Democrats on Iran: I Thought Silence was Violence?

Iran has been in turmoil for months as women lead a counter-revolution against the oppressive theocratic police state of Iran. Even family members of the Mullahs are stepping up and speaking out. The niece of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had some unkind words for her uncle.

“How long do we have to witness oppression by political autocrats in any part of this world? Isn’t the experience of Hitler, Mussolini, Ceaușescu, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Khomeini and his last one, Khamenei, enough?” Moradkhani said.

 

They arrested Farideh Moradkhani for speaking out.

 

“For the first time in human history, women are dictating their hidden power over this patriarchal society and showing with all the courage that the place of real power is in the thought and not in the muscle,” Moradkhani said.

Moradkhani called on people worldwide to tell their governments to stop supporting “this murderous and child-killing regime” which she said is not loyal to any of the religious principles of Islam.”The brave Iranians are actually at war with all the governments that support these oppressive rulers,” Moradkhani said.

 

Is this a good time to remind Democrats that “silence is violence?”

Joe and the Biden Administration Band have been very quiet about the ongoing violence against women and children in the Islamic Republic. The official position appears to be that it’s their thing, and we’re not going to comment. We’re getting the same message on China’s brutal crackdown against protesters.

Are they setting us up for the Biden administration response when Americans finally take to the streets?

Asking for a friend.
