Call me old fashioned, but I do not believe that at all.
Who are the enemies of secular Liberals?
Damn religious freaks like the Ayatollahs.
If the Liberals come back into power in Iran, then their top priority is to suppress these religious fanatics. Fuck them and their god, you know.
Because we all know those religious fanatics of Iran if out of power, they will want it back.
What the CCP says, that speaks the truth. Terrorism. Radicalism. Extremism. That will not be tolerated.
That is why Iran is really messed up. The society is kind of extreme. In their viewpoints.
If the secular Liberals win back power in Iran, that would be good for Iran, and bad for terrorist in general.
Afghanistan used to be a modern society, and probably more advanced that China in terms of what the people had back in the day during the GPCR.
Then the religious people came.
This was Afghanistan, more 50 years ago, they were modern. That is unthinkable today.
Iran faces the same choice.
Iran thought of itself as rather modern too, because they were, then the political chaos started, which was no good in any way for them. For decades.
A modern state, such as Iran in the past, and Afghanistan in the past, will not sponsor terrorism, because they know the first target is themselves.
