Not sure how this constitutes irony...Regardless of what islam has or has not done: the attitude of the west towards it remains what it is, and it is negative.
America is largely responsible for the Iranian Revolution, and now it leads the chant against Iran's theocracyWe haven't done politically well oversees... maybe this 'petition' stops someone being executed, maybe it doesn't... either way, she's overall irrelevant: this will continue until Iran is once again a 'secular' state.
Sometimes I can't even tell if my thoughts of saying hell no we won't let you do this is just a result of 2 decades of muricanish brainwashing, but...
It's so so hard for me to deal with this attitude of people being irrelevant. No one is irrelevant. Every time something like this happens to and random "irrelevant" person, the entire world is given the opportunity to stand up and say that it's absolutely abhorrent and we won't stand for it. How else do we expect change? We need to make a big deal every time. Not just because it hurts my delicate senses when you call even a single person irrelevant, but also because standing up and making a big deal is the only way to get change.
