My opinion about what is going on in Iran: horrible events in the name of a god that does not exist. It weighs on me to write about politics, but the irritation grows.
One imagines that with events unfolding in Iran and Afghanistan, the imam and muslim communities around the world would feel compelled to make a clear an public statement about their opinions, so that no doubt is left to linger. I dream of stuff like “We condemn the authorities…”, but I would accept “We despise the use of violence…” or whatever.
But that is not what I see and hear! Through the mainstream media I have heard of no statement from the major muslim authorities in the world. What about Italy’s Unione delle comunità islamiche d’Italia? On their website I see nothing; like nothing is happening!
It would be stupid of me not to ask myself: who are these people, really?
