Saying Islam has nothing to do with the Paris attacks...

45. As someone

Who grew up in the middle east and whose ancestors were muslim. There is a big fight happening in the middle east. Iv seen pictures of women driving cars in iran (my home country) without scarfs on as a point of defiance. Iv also read a report that iran was on pace to execute more people then ever (many of the condemned are gay,drug users,religious minorities,) or people deemed a threat to khomenie. So on one hand you have a young generation of Iranians with a huge underground party scene. And apposed to that a gov that executes its citizens left and right, both happening at the same time. You have the kurds who can truly build a country that is majority muslim AND moderate. Then you have a country like saudi arabia who fund many of the extremist imams that preach intolerance in many western mosques including many in saudi arabia. Yet no one questions saudi arabia but the kurds are not allowed to have there own country. Have not the kurds been the original inhabitants in that area for a thousand years? They arabs have like 20 countries when it was drawn up by the west. Do the kurds not deserve one? I feel the best way forward is to support moderates in that part of the world.
