When one strong individual stands up, others follow. My latest in FrontPage:
In 2009, Iran was swept by demonstrations, just as it is now. But at that time, the protesters were shouting “Allahu akbar,” and there was no indication that they wanted anything but reform of the Islamic regime, not the end of the regime itself. This time, however, the protesters have been chanting: “We don’t want an Islamic Republic!” “Clerics shame on you, let go of our country!” Some have even chanted: “Reza Shah, bless your soul!”
What has changed? Donald Trump.
Reza Shah was the Shah of Iran from 1925 to 1941 and the father of Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the Shah who was overthrown in the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Reza Shah admired Turkey’s Kemal Ataturk and set Iran on a similar path of Westernization and secularization. In chanting this, the protesters are emphasizing that they do not just want economic reforms, as has been the line of the establishment media in the West. Nor do they want an Islamic Republic that is less corrupt. They don’t want an Islamic Republic at all.
Now why would Trump have anything to do with this? Because he has been singular among the leaders of the world, and the Presidents of the United States since 1989, in demonstrating his readiness to stand up to violent intimidation. President Trump has already made it clear in so many ways, most notably by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Clinton, Bush, and Obama all spoke about Jerusalem being the capital of Israel, but backed off from recognizing the fact as official U.S. policy, for fear that Muslims would riot and kill innocent people, and that such a recognition would jeopardize the chimerical and fruitless “peace process.”
So should terrorists decide where our embassy should be? Trump was not willing to concede this point. And when one man shows that bullies can be confronted and stood down by people with courage, others are inspired to make the same kind of stand. This new Iranian uprising came just weeks after Trump’s Jerusalem announcement, after the threatened rage and riots of Muslims worldwide in response to that announcement proved to be largely a fizzle.
Is it a coincidence that the Iranian people have stood up to the forces of jihad intimidation just after the President did so? Maybe. But if so, it’s a marvelous one, and in either case it’s illustrative of the power of courage in an age of cowardice.
For here again, even if the Iranian freedom movement has nothing to do with Trump, it is certain that these demonstrations would already be over, and may never have begun, if Hillary Clinton were President of the United States right now. Confronted with those 2009 demonstrations that did not go as far or demand as much, Barack Obama betrayed the demonstrators to every grisly fate that the mullahs could devise for them in their torture chambers. Bent on concluding the disastrous nuclear deal that lined their oppressors’ pockets with billions and set the world on a path to a catastrophic nuclear attack, Obama ensured that the U.S. government didn’t lift a finger or offer a word of support for the protesters, even as they were being gunned down in the streets.
But now the man who is setting the tone is a different man. Trump has come out strongly in favor of the protesters, tweeting: “Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching!”
In a similar vein, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said: “Iran’s leaders have turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos. As President Trump has said, the longest-suffering victims of Iran’s leaders are Iran’s own people.” Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders added: “There are many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with the regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. The Iranian government should respect their people’s rights, including their right to express themselves.”
For the people of Iran, with help from Donald Trump, this could just possibly be the dawning of a new era of freedom. Even if the regime remains in power this time, it has been shaken to its core. It cannot afford to be as openly repressive and bloodthirsty as the Chinese at Tienanmen Square. Not, we can hope, with Donald Trump in the White House.

jihad3tracker says
HELLO MR. BAUDIN —-
ROBERT AND HIS COLLEAGUE PAMELA GELLER (AFDI & SIOA) ARE THE BRAVEST CIVILIANS IN OUR UNITED STATES. Nobody else even come close.
EVERY DAY they get internet death threats from Allah-worshipping psychopaths. At the “draw Muhammad cartoon” event at Garland Texas (May 3 2015) two Muslims drove from another state, with guns, trying to kill them.
If an honest historian ever puts together a TRUE UNBIASED ACCOUNT of Americans devoting their lives to survival of the U.S., against Islam and Jihad, Pamela and Robert will certainly be mentioned as crucial.
Matthieu Baudin says
Robert’s decision to put together the Iran book and get it to the press when he did may have been a significant motivating influence upon many young Iranians. The Iranian Student diaspora throughout North America and many other countries has been hungry for clear, concise and above all honest appraisals of Iranian Theocratic Rule beginning with the ’79 uprising – and Robert provided the goods with an exceptionally accessible book. I’ve no doubt that once his account and analysis had struck a chord with many Iranian students studying abroad, the key ideas were then passed along informal channels of young people within Iran and have contributed significantly to the momentum for change.
As for Pamela’s and Robert’s bravery, as you said it’s above and beyond the norm for people of conscience, so let’s just say they are heroic and hope they don’t wince at the accolade.

“…For the people of Iran, with help from Donald Trump, this could just possibly be the dawning of a new era of freedom. …”
Hmh. I often wonder why he isn’t keen at all about the people of western Europe, LePen, Von Storch (AfD), Wilders et al. Yet, those people staunchly supported him during the election campaign, and continue to do so, even though the euro mainstream media attacks him relentlessly. But he hardly has a word for them, never mind words of support. (I believe there was something in reference to Wilders, not much though – if at all)
The above said is also true for various civic resistance movements such as PEGIDA, Generation Identare, etc.
Well, well, well…
Wellington says
The man can only do and say so much, DFD. One has to prioritize after all. Besides, he has said enough already to cause dismay to Sharia May, make the taqiyya Mayor of London go apoplectic several times, has caused all kinds of consternation among those overpaid, silly, freedom-destroying bureaucrats running the EU, and just contemplate for a moment what other fools like Merkel and Francis I think of Trump.
Yeah, only so much at a time and right now Iran is a “priority.” And, after all, Trump has only been President for a year. Give him time. And I say all this as an American AND a student of history.
Once again America has to come to the rescue of the world, most of which is pathetic and decrepit. Makes me feel all proud like being the patriotic American that I am, especially coming after eight years of THE WORST President in American history, one Barack Obama, who must be crying his eyes out that the poor mullahs in Iran might be overthrown, let alone being chagrined that his successor has taken the enormously sapient and brave action of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, something pathetic Western Europe and what passes for its leadership would never have done.
Oh yeah, give Trump time. Besides, who in the world right now is a better option for the protection and promotion of freedom than Trump?
MM says
Trump spoke out in support of LePen during the French election campaign. Also, Trump is very unpopular e.g. in Germany. It would not really help AfD to get support by Trump. Even people who usually don’t buy the fake news media reports fall for this “Trump is crazy and evil and colludes with the Russians”. Likewise many Americans, also Trump supporters, believe that every European conservative or populist is at least to some extent a crypto-Nazi and racist. Both impressions of course are completely wrong. But they still divide the European and American Right.
jihad3tracker says
AGREE, WELLINGTON —
Let us also remember that he has legislative challenges & related obligations as Chief Executive, plus Leftist Democrats who intend to wreck a Republican legacy of success.
As an APPROXIMATE equivalent to Europe developing and deploying an effective pushback against Muslims streaming in for eventual domination, imagine this:
Take California, Minnesota, Idaho, Florida, New York, Tennessee, Texas. Find a geographical land area large enough, and put those states together in a contiguous arrangement.
But then, unfortunately: they have DIFFERENT languages, histories, cultures, governments, media. All of which work against a UNITED and thus much stronger vector leading to eradication of Islam.
Susan says
Thank you Wellington! You said it and saved me from typing from my cell – a pathetic task. Also, don’t forget the awful Brits- that complain about Trump and Jews – yet they barely have any left in their HATEFUL “KINGDOM”. Y et lets not forget that May had Islamic plots against her life yet want to bash Trump and Jews. They disgust me!
eduardo odraude says
Trump has obviously pushed the envelope mightily on these issues. In light of that, it is arguably misguided or premature, DFD, to be very critical about what he has not yet done.
DFD says
Wellington and other respondents
Thank you for your replies. May I correct your views of the Europeans an the US and on Trump? What the media “reports” and what the people think are two very different matters. In Germany the MSM is usually referred to as “Die Lügenpress/The Lying Press”. The printed media over the last 3 years has dropped ***dramatically***, Bild Zeitung, down from 5 million+ copies daily to 1.3million!!! Der Spiegel, down to 1/3, and so on and so forth.
More and more Germans and English are turning to the alternative, online, media. Hence the new laws in Germany in their “fight against the right”; you can of course publicise any anti-German, anti-white and in particular any anti-Christian dribble, slander and outright hate comments you wish, no consequences. The so called conservative press? The editor in chief of Die Zeit, often quoted in JW as a conservative paper, actually called for the assassination of Trump! Of course, Theresa May and Boris Johnson are pushing for a similar law in Britain… To curb hate speech and to reign in on the right and thgeir spreading of ‘fake news’ – like in Germany, the right and hate speech is everyone and everything who disagrees with the gov on immigration and Islam.
The bit about priorities, again, I beg to differ. Ask yourselves the following question: Quo bono? Trump speaks of the desire for freedom of the Iranian peoples, the world’s watching, blah blah blah…
Now, here is the question:
===================
If there were a similar “uprising” (we can but hope) in a similarly bloodthirsty, backward sharia country, would Trump say the same? Call that country Saudi Arabia! Would he? What? The West’s trustworthy, moderate and “rapidly modernizing” ally Saudi Arabia? Such uprising would be immediately and in sharpest tone condemned, so would be those who do the uprising who and demand an end to theocracy and sharia. They would be instantaneously branded as fundamentalist Islamists and our solidarity with the modernizing, and even modern, Saudi Arabia and its legitimate government, and its happy people, will be announced. My only question here is: Announced within days or within hours?
Is that not so?
===========
There will be more on Trump, and Merkel, plus a rather stunning similarity… Hopefully soon.
I understand and sympathize with your hopes. But I have severe reservations, for multiple reasons. And, as I said, I am writing on this, an excerpt hopefully soon.
To all of you: A happy, joyful 2018 🙂
————————————————-
Wellington says
The query you posted, DFD, about Saudi Arabia, is akin to having asked FDR to denounce Stalin while he was our temporary ally against Hitler. Again, one fight at a time and sometimes you have to have allies who are, to put it mildly, unsavory.
Moreover, though you mean well, I think you expect too much from America at its best (this means leadership by Presidents like Reagan and Trump as opposed to leadership, if you can dignify it with that term, by weaklings like Carter and Obama). Even the greatest of great powers throughout history, for instance ancient Rome and the British Empire, can do only so much at one time. To put forth a hypothetical about Saudi Arabia as you have (as opposed to the reality now going on in Iran), is not quite fair or germane.
I respect your overall thrust on things but, you know, one must pick and choose his battles and no power on earth has ever been able to take on all evils or threats simultaneously. I might add that Western Europe, whether exampled by Sweden, the UK, France, Germany, etc. is proving once again that, while it has very fine trappings of a once great civilization, with its architecture, museums, et al., it has been deuce pathetic from WWI onwards. Yeah, it’s a “people thing” and the people of Western Europe, whether high brow or low brow or most anything in between, would no longer be free BUT FOR AMERICA. One knows this or should know it. Hell, the people of Eastern Europe, for instance Poland, fully understand America’s tremendous role in the eventual demise of that tyranny known as the USSR. No such cognizance among the increasing number of dolts who live in Western Europe.
That’s all for now. Hope you are well and to hell with all the cowards in Western Europe and to hell with Islam.
Linnte says
I wholly agree Wellington. And UNTIL Europe makes steps to fix their own situation, I have absolutely no sympathy for them. Europes leaders are just as educated and intelligent as any other Nations, and if they can’t figure out that they have screwed themselves? Tough cookies.
Linnte says
There is no way Trump and Merkel share the same ideas on Islam. Trump understands Islam to a higher degree than Merkel would ever claim. And I totally disagree that Trump would be against protesting for freedom in Saudi Arabia. I think he would welcome it. Freedom in Saudi wouldn’t change the oil situation, the income for the Saudi people. And lastly I don’t think Iranians going into civil war would get Trump involved either. We shall see, eh?
Wellington says
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Donald Trump, regardless of his faults (which are grossly exaggerated by those who loathe the man) is the greatest, most influential and strongest force for freedom in all the world right now in our time. I challenge anyone to name a greater, more influential and stronger person as a force for freedom in our age than Donald Trump.
He is the best thing freedom has going for it at present and so no wonder he is so hated because enemies of freedom abound, as do ignoramuses who enjoy freedom without realizing why they do (e.g., virtually all Democratic Party members in America). Yes, so no wonder the Western Left hates this man since the Western Left is opposed to true freedom, ditto for the Islamic world, ditto for the traditional authoritarian world (e.g., the bastards running things in Moscow and Beijing).
Cherish freedom? Then you should cherish Donald Trump. One knows this or should know it. Not enough to date do.
gravenimage says
Agreed. Wellington. I have my nitpicks with the man, as well–but in the whole scheme of things, he is a definite force for freedom.
Susan says
DITTO Wellington! Love Trump and one has got to despise his ‘Me too’ crowd – especially those in Hollywood trying to get media attention for HATING HIM MORE. Agh! Those shows like Will and Grace? I’m boycotting those liberal crazy actors like Debra (Messing?) who is desperate for her Xtra 15 minutes of fame, she’d teach her own kid bad lessons and then advertise it. I have boycotted all these shows and these Morons in America!
Jayell says
This is all very good, but if it takes just a bit of forthright action from an (admittedly highly influential) foreign leader to cause a whole national.political system to start collapsing, it really doesn’t say much for the stability of that nation. In which case, whose bright idea was it to let them get their hands on nuclear technology?
eduardo odraude says
Iran, like all dictatorships, has some fundamental weaknesses that make it particularly vulnerable to sudden collapse at unpredictable moments. The fact that one influential leader can (at ripe moments) tip some social systems into collapse does not mean that the influential leader is like a sovereign puppet master pulling the strings of events. For example, the proverbial last straw, though it breaks the camel’s back, did not control much of anything. It was simply the “last straw.” Or again, scientists say that in special circumstances the flapping of a single butterfly’s wings can set in train a series of events that cascade into a hurricane. Trump, because he stands up against Islamic totalitarianism, no doubt deserves some credit for what is going on in Iran. But neither he nor anyone else determines events there, and perhaps no one could have prevented every rogue single regime from getting nuclear weapons. If Trump deserves credit, it would be mainly that he put his finger onto the scale at a moment when the camel’s back was ready to break.
eduardo odraude says
“every rogue single regime”
should read
“every single rogue regime”
Guy Forester says
1. Nuclear technology: North Korea and Iran have been working together on this for over 25 years. DPRK is a proxy of both the USSR/Russia and Red China. This is done to destabilize the ME and keep the US tied down, putting out “brushfires.”
2. A single leader, in this case, can indicate that we will work against this despotic regime. Iran was very pro-western prior to the Islamic revolution. This is an issue that has probably been simmering for a while and the people of Iran may see some hope that someone with power will support them.

“When one strong individual stands up, others follow.”

underbed cat says
Yes I agree President Trump is strong and ethical as he stood up for the protesters. to say the world is watching…but I also worry about the response from the sharia bent. I think if the press can get media coverage without putting themselves in danger it would be good. The protests if large enough will help but if pushback comes I fear for these protesters as fear is their controlling leverage.If a number of countries would also respond positive it would help.
i just hope he can get the best possible information about the warfare doctirne and not sell weapons to SA either as I fear he has been deceived by the words like” fighting terrorism”, what that means in Islamic countries is different than our meanings in the western world. From day one of his first speech regarding the statement about the problems with the muslim world I knew he was who I would vote for and to this day still support and I am amazed.
RonaldB says
I read Robert Spencer’s “Complete-Infidels-Guide-Iran”
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Infidels-Guide-Iran-Guides/dp/1621575160/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1514852641&sr=8-8&keywords=robert+spencer
very carefully, which is why I, unlike many supposedly-well-informed, certainly well-paid commentators, knew that the Green Revolution of 2009 was not that special in terms of freedom from Islam. I also learned a lot about the Sunni Shi’a split, and just how bad the Iranian nuclear deal was, although I don’t think even Spencer imagined at that time that the Obama administration closed down a major drug-tracking operation to make sure the deal was pushed through.
But, I wonder why Spencer thinks the US government should have put itself into the Green Revolution, seeing that it had very little to do with actual freedom. I can see that the example of Trump’s courage might have inspired the current protesters and even that the US government should encourage as much objective news coverage of the protests and the Iranian government response to it. I’m not so sure it would be beneficial for the US government to align itself with the protesters, seeing as how our track record in such matters is almost 100% wrong. We also don’t want to encourage protesters to go beyond the limits of their own judgment concerning the steps the Iranian government is likely to take.
In Muslim countries, the governments sometimes have to have a violent response to ensure a somewhat secular government. The US government, under Obama, protested the takeover by the Egyptian military over the supposedly democratically-elected Morsi government, although no non-Muslim would argue that Egypt wasn’t better off. The point is, the US government should generally not be involved in the details of the governments of other countries, and the means employed to maintain order.
eduardo odraude says
RonaldB,
Good points. However, the current Iranian government arguably could not be worse. It seeks nuclear weapons with which to attack the US, Israel, and others. As a leading state sponsor of terror, the Iranian government with nuclear weapons would represent an existential danger. When one recalls that any action or inaction is a gamble, is not support of the demonstrations against the Iranian government the most reasonable gamble?
gravenimage says
I think the West should have at least given some verbal support to the protests of 2009, as imperfect as they were. Obama stayed completely silent.

GI, I believe we are seeing Muslims standing up because they see hope to live without Islamic dictatorship. It’s too soon to say if there is a genuine desire to leave Islam entirely, but they have certainly seen that Sharia societies are dysfunctional and they want to loosen that ‘straight jacket’.
I think that Trump is frightening the Islamic dictatorships, showing us just what their mentality is.
They are the criminals holed up in a hideout and we represent the police surrounding them. They are unable to decide if they want to give up or shoot it out and kill all their hostages.
If all Western governments gave the Muslim world no choice on human rights, they would cave in. Muslim regions gave in when European powers ordered them to stop the slave trade. Same deal today.

(2) One cannot know a second in advance whose blood a mob will call for next; this is particularly true of Muslim mobs. Why, things can be going along perfectly fine, and the next thing you know they’re storming our embassy. One minute it’s Arab Spring and they love us and democracy, next minute they’re swarming Benghazi;
(3) If our President’s proclaimed policy is to look to American interests first rather than vague and noble aspirations like promoting democracy and state-building, he may not wish to get close to whatever poorly consolidated opposition may be in place, and instead capitalize on residual goodwill and Republican-Persian contacts from Iran-contra.

CRUSADER says
While Iranians aren’t Arabs, there may be some parallels to what Thomas Friedman authored in his afterward of his book “From Beirut to Jerusalem” — that :
“Arab youths hated their own governments — for keeping them voiceless and powerless, and without the educational tools to realize their full potential…hugely frustrated and humiliated by their own conditions… they just could not let it out publicly. Demonstrations about Palestine, the only kind that were allowed, were often surrogates from their own grievances….”
“Arab storm was coming…huge population youth bulge growing…. It is a region that, because of oil, is falling behind every global trend……Social and political explosions”….coming.
“The next 50 years are not going to look like the previous…as the Facebook generation of Arabs grows up, looks for jobs, and seeks political expression….”

Alas, CRUSADER, things are overall much worse in the Arab world than when Thomas Friedman penned that book. Much, much more Islam is what most of those “youth” demanded. We see how that is working out…

I am fortunately a-political. I do not take sides in any conflict or with any party. What I am sure of is the Arab spring started when people, who have been oppressed for very long started to feel hungry, when the price of bread went up. Food is the most basic need of humans and this can bring revolution.
To pretend that the sanctions have not worked – defective as they were- is silly. It has taken money out of the pocket of the average man. Combined with Iran regime’s supporting of terrorists and using money for terrorist projects in other countries while oppressing their own citizens – this can make the lid blow…. It depends if the Iran government can control this second wave of revolution or not…. it may fizzle out if not enough people ask for change.

Hello? Has anyone noticed America has a huge number of Muslims? Muslims are in every facet of government. They will soon have a population exceeding the African American population. Their influence on the American core beliefs will soon be devastating. This country will soon be a Muslim copy of London. When will the news media remove the censorship that keeps the American people from learning about the Muslim ideology? Praying to Allah five times a day, dedicating a school room for prayer five times a day, subjecting our children to humanizing the Muslim ideology is not what America is about. The American people need to study history and teach the American people the Wahhabist ideology — an austere form of Islam that insists on literal interpretation of the Quran and views those who disagree as enemies.” Should be
taught to in all schools in America. A good practicing Muslim knows the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government and no other. Think twice before inviting a Muslim into your community. The American people have enough of the “Cultural Diversity”. When the percentage of the Muslim population rises as in London, the American people will have the same problems in our own back yard. The American people need to pass legislation “No Sharia Law in America!!!!”
