Sweden’s social democrat prime
minister, Stefan Löfven, is visiting
Iranian regime’s officials in Iran and shaking their bloody hands. There is no
need to say that, this regime is the main sponsor of international terrorism
and also been under United -Nations investigation for violation of human rights
and horrible oppression of Iranian women for decades. It seems the more
progressive or leftist Western politicians are, the less concern they are for
the violations of human rights and oppression of women by regimes such as
Iranian regime and other Muslim fundamentalists. Naturally, we may expect that
someone with more progressive political/social views be more sensitive and
tougher in dealing with violators or human rights and oppressors of women. But in
Western democracies, it is reverse, and in reality, it is the right, which
supposedly is not as progressive as left when it goes to political/ social issues,
that is more sensitive and tougher when it goes to dealing with the
fundamentalists. It is not only Sweden left that appeases the Muslim
fundamentalism, but also there is the same pattern in countries like Canada and
USA. For example, prime minster Trudeau (a liberal) is much more cozying with
Iranian regime than Harper (a conservative) did. Also, Trump seems much more
tougher than Obama. Why is it so? Is that because they don’t consider the
people who are oppressed by fundamentalists as human as themselves, therefore,
they don’t view them with the same standard that they view their own people? Is that because they have sympathy for
fundamentalist, or perhaps, the greed and the economic deals have made them
blind? Or maybe, they are just hypocrites and don’t believe in what they claim?
Or, Is it the lack of principal? Whatever reason it is, it is really shameful.
