Iranian Powerlifter Seeking Asylum in Norway Over Message on T-Shirt
4th January 2022
Amir Assadollahzadeh won a medal at the World Club League Championship in Norway in November, but because he did not wear a t-shirt honoring the late Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani after his victory, he was viewed as a rebel by his authoritarian government (the shirt he chose to wear honored the healthcare workers in Iran who worked through COVID).
There is no Muslim-majority nation that has either democracy or what we Americans would consider basic human rights. None. Not one.
Examine the statements and records of Muslims elected to the Congress of the United States. Start with Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, and Raisa Tlaib. Do we want such people to have influence over our laws and public policy? I think not.
The distinguishing characteristics of Muslims in government is corruption and oppression. This is universally true.
