Liberals forget what everything looked like before radical Muslims took control in the 70s

I have a friend who came over here as the Revolution started heating up in 1977 -78 . Iranians (Persians) are complicated people. But the women are hot.

My wife and I have two friends from Iran. Old enough to have been around during the revolutionary days. One thing people need to know is that there is a pretty big disconnect between the theocratic leadership of Iran and many of the people.

Our friends look and live like westerners, drink alcohol, etc. And although they still have familial ties in Iran and travel there, they loathe many aspects of what it's become. There are lots of similar stories of Iranian people like them.

It's not as simple as "Iranians hate the U.S."

They Iranian leadership might, but not necessarily the people (although some of them certainly do).

Islam or Socialism are the two most surefire ways to destroy any functional civilization.

It had to be around 1975-76 a guy from Afghanistan was working in a store on Perkins and Acadian . He was around 18 yo . Really nice guy , we all got along well . Out of no where he tells us he’s moving back home and basically looked at us with hate .
I’ve never seen anyone go from one extreme to another like that . He’s was definitely a militant.

liberals worship stalins bloody viscous rule and want that for america as long as they are the ones making the rules and ordering executions of all who disagree

I’ve seen images like these before but I’m lost on the history.

Is it that Islam has different sectors of ideas? Or were those in Iran before the revolution not Islamic?

The after pics are a liberals dream scenario. They think they will be exempt from it and be able to live in luxury like the globalist elite who are pushing all the bullshite. What a nasty surprise they would be in for.

It's similar to all those libs who thought that Obamacare was going to be free for them and that only conservatives would have to pay for it. A lot of them really thought that.

Iran once had a very large Jewish population and now they don’t have any left as the Islamic militants either killed them or forced them to flee the country overnight.

The radical, militant Islamists took over in the mid-late 70s. It’s always been majority Muslim.

I had a helluva time 76-78 at Tehran American School. People and food were great. The pictures in this thread are accurate in depicting life before the Revolution.
