More on Iran. The following is an extract (mine) from an article in yesterday’s Daily Mail and written by Khadija Khan:
“..I can’t help remembering how, at the 75th Golden Globes in 2018, The Handmaid’s Tale scooped two of the most prestigious categories – with the show winning best TV drama and its star, Elisabeth Moss, named best actress.
The series, based on the wonderful novel by Margaret Atwood, depicted an American dystopia where women were slaves, forced to submit to their owners’ sexual demands and made to wear robes that covered them from head to foot.
The Left interpreted this as an attack on American Right-wing Christian fundamentalism and celebrated its success. Yet Atwood was inspired to write the novel by the oppression of women, not in the US but in Iran. Copies of the book now circulate there in secret, and some brave protesters have even worn the red robes of the handmaids, as a symbolic statement.
You might think that the actors and actresses whose careers were supercharged by The Handmaid’s Tale would be at the forefront of demonstrations against the Islamic Republic in London or Los Angeles, highlighting the connection between the fictional series and the struggle for freedom in the real world. I have yet to hear a peep from any of them.
If the problem was simply that celebrities are shallow and self-serving, nobody would be very surprised. But the root causes of their silence are much more insidious.
Hardline Left-wingers are intent on sabotaging the Iranian freedom movement, because they are in thrall to Islamism.
They refuse to see the Ayatollah and his brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps for what they are – gangsters in religious robes.
No actor at an awards night wants to risk speaking out against them, for fear of being accused of Islamophobia. The irony is that Islamophobia is a word that was first weaponised by the Ayatollah Khomeini and his cronies in the 1970s, before they seized control of Iran and imposed fundamentalist Sharia law.
They use it to make their ‘religious’ beliefs, however radical or chauvinistic, impervious to criticism. Any word spoken against them is analogous to racism..”
There’s a feminist revolution going on in Iran, so why are self-righteous Lefty luvvies struck dumb? | https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-mail/20260113/textview?popupArticleId=281754160709673
