"I visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall, and prayed at both places. I was embarrassed to see that I have free access to any Jewish religious area on the Wall to pray, but Jews aren't even allowed near the Damascus Gate.
Where is religious freedom and freedom of speech? We Muslims have the right to go anywhere in Israel, but Jews don't have the right to even enter certain areas of Jerusalem. This is the greatest example of Muslim apartheid in Jerusalem."

@moayedHarazeen No. It was a concentration camp. Stop making up lies that hurt the resistance in the eyes of gullible western progressives.

@khalidi79397 Thank you Ahmed. Almost all of the world wants freedom for your people too but not at the expense of another people

@DropSiteNews No this gas doesn’t belong to Palestine or other countries. There are established borders unless you believe the world belongs to Islamic colonization

The Iranian protesters show the world what real resistance to tyranny looks like. Brave people risking their lives to take on a regime that oppresses them.

It raises an uncomfortable question:

Why do we see nothing comparable in Gaza against Hamas?

If the media narrative is correct and Gazans are helpless civilians held hostage by Hamas - then where is the hostage revolt?

The Iranian regime is a mighty state - with a vast, brutal and invasive security apparatus.

Hamas is nowhere near that. It is far weaker.

So how come the courageous Iranians take to the streets again and again, risking their lives, to try to bring the regime down...

...but in Gaza we have seen no sustained mass uprising to overthrow Hamas - even though removing Hamas should be far easier than toppling Tehran.

This is the question that our media will not ask.

And the truly sickening thing? Our streets fill with people performing “solidarity” for Gaza, while the real heroes - the Iranians fighting an actual tyrannical regime - are ignored, or met with silence.

I am no fool. I know true heroes when I see them. I stand with the Iranians.

@hmajd @piersmorgan And how do you justify the protests that happened on Oct 8 before Israel started their retaliation for the deadliest massacre of their people in the history of the country?

[Hussein Aboubakr Mansour @HusseinAboubak]

I don't know why Islamic Republic officials are so afraid. Worst case, they lose power, flee to Western countries, get gigs as professors in elite universities or writers for the BBC, NYT, etc. Head CAIR chapters. Those who cant can open daycares in Minnesota.

@NYCMayor Have either you or Miss Rachel said anything about Iran yet?

@zarahsultana Are you mental? These people are killed by the Iranian regime and you blame sanctions? Your ideology is sickening and will ruin the world

🚨 WOW. The Iranian regime tried to shut down the protests in Tehran by cutting the electricity.

So the people did something even more powerful. They turned on their phone flashlights and lit up the streets so the entire world could see how many of them there really are.

You can kill the power. You can’t kill the will of the people.

Every tyrannical regime makes this mistake.

And it always ends the same way.

The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world.

Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime.

Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it.

Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine.

This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media routinely collapses entire civilizations into a single stereotype: “all Middle Easterners are Arabs,” “all Arabs are Muslim,” and “all Muslims are a monolithic, oppressed identity group by white European colonizers.” Iranians disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history, and culture—Persian, not Arab; ancient, not colonial; distinct, not interchangeable—are erased.

By treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology, Western media strips millions of people of their ability to reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized. So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over them—or ignores them entirely.

There is another reason the Iranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues.

As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship. It is a centrally controlled, state-dominated economy where markets are strangled, private enterprise is criminalized or co-opted, and economic survival depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price controls, subsidies, nationalization, and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class and entrenched corruption as the only functional system. The result is not equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on government’s dark void of empty promises.

Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful. They have been tried. They have failed. Catastrophically.

This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous. That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language.

Western liberal media prefers not to hear this. Acknowledging it would require abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and non-white. Iranian protesters do not fit. They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape.

That is what terrifies Western liberal media. And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored.

So the silence continues.
