I don’t want to come off as too critical but his being of Iranian descent isn’t relevant. IT’s that he’s a dick who wants concentration camps. Me sharing German heritage with Trump or Irish with Bannon isn’t relevant to how much I loathe them.

I normally would agree with you on this, but we can’t underestimate the rampant anti-Muslim hatred that permeates much of the Iranian diaspora. I mean, we are talking about a country who changed their name to foster closer ties with the Third Reich and unlike the Arab countries they actually had a Nazi party called Hezb-e-Sumka

Even the author Trita Parsi himself highlighted the issue of Iranians in Europe joining neo-Nazi organizations due to self-hatred and Islamophobia. Let’s not forget that the Munich shooter last summer was an Iranian kid who idolized Anders Breivik.
