Why the Muslim World Failed to Come to Iran's Defense
(National Post-Canada) Raheel Raza and Mohammad Rizwan - Most Muslim countries did not stand with Iran when it was being pounded by Israeli bombs. This says a lot about how much the theocratic regime in Tehran has been distanced from the rest of the Muslim world. The apathy of the Muslim world towards the regime shattered the myth that its brand of Islam and its pan-jihadism is accepted and supported by a majority of Muslim nations. In truth, this has never been the case. Many countries in the region believe the Iranian mullahs pervert Islam to further their own political ends and are angry over last year's strikes against Pakistan and the more recent targeting of a U.S. military base in Qatar. The Iranian regime is hated both at home and abroad due to its internal oppression (especially of women) and external aggression. This shatters the myth that Muslims across the board are jihad-loving, regressive populations. Raheel Raza is the president of Muslims Facing Tomorrow and Mohammad Rizwan is a journalist currently in Dubai.
