Islamism In Iran

In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Siavash Safavi, a former political prisoner from the Islamic Republic of Iran. They discuss Sia's struggles in Iran, how atheism is spreading like wildfire in Iran, and how the regime is delaying the inevitable through its strong-arm tactics.

Many iranians have left islam. And they are genuinely very nice people.

[@madhavrekwar3552]

No they make fun of other faiths without knowing it

[@vaishnoo1168]

Just a minority

[@kuk19948]

Hi Kushal, Siavesh is probably one of the best guests on your channel. Looking forward to more videos with him.

[@casperjoshi]

That line on “supreme leader appointed council approves who can be elected to the council that will appoint the supreme leader” sounded similar to how we appoint judges

[@HarshSingh-1034]

You are doing Blasphemy There will be Fatwa(contempt of court) against you

[@wreyamon4472]

Sharia Court (SC). Hafz Court (HC). 😂

[@wreyamon4472]

​@HarshSingh-1034 indeed. 😂

[@duhduh666]

13:20 thank you. My late father grandpa and other deceased insisted the Islamic golden age is mostly Persian

[@suen3634]

Thank you Siavash Safavi for that enlightening overview of Iranian politics, structure and religion. Amazing… really enjoyed it. Totally agree with you on Trudeau’s naive silly comments which he thinks makes him look smart.

[@satveerrudra8424]

The feelings of muslims always get hurt when someone speaks the truth about Islam and prophet....

[@amitkumarsingh1709]

Kushal do podcast on Turkish rule over Iranian how it shaped their society with him so we can see similarity & difference between Turkish rules over India & Iran

[@Seevawonderloaf]

His background is the same as Daniel Bordman so for a second I thought it was the same person

[@barcazee8798]

Yeah i think he spoke from the same place daniel usually does

[@amitkumarsingh1709]

He writes in National Post that's why he have same background as Indian media Canada expert 😂 Daniel

[@rajbaniwal3236]

I have just started watching this podcast and before listening to it I want to leave this comment, “Persians hate Islam, if the Khomeini falls, Persia will be free”. I am assuming I will be proven right.

[@rajbaniwal3236]

Yup. Heard the entire podcast on 2x. Iran / Persia isn’t a bad place. The Islamism is. India should stand with Iran, to remove Islamism from Persia. And after that, the people are with us anyway. Like the Tatas, Shapoorjis, Premjis etc

[@hamidullahhamid8969]

😂😂😂😂

[@user-uz1ls5ht8d]

That's true

[@Aratiii06]

​@@rajbaniwal3236the people may not be with us like TATAs, etc. Many may be Christian too. But atleast the wretched islam will go away and it will positively affect Afghanistan and Pakistan in the long run.

[@madhavrekwar3552]

[@hiraeth5574]

Is he using Daniel Bordman's place?

[@barcazee8798]

yeah

[@Sure2020]

@adamseekerurdu is the best with respect Islam . No one can beat his knowledge of Islam and its text - the best scholar of Islam

[@rohanch07]

I agree, adamseekerurdu is a scholar and a gentleman. His knowledge of Islam is second to None.

[@hamidullahhamid8969]

Do you have any knowledge of Islam ?

[@madhavrekwar3552]

I also heard him his knowledge on Islam is very impressive

[@madhavrekwar3552]

Hope that you and all of us can be strong and work hard ❤

[@biswajeet9826]

It's interesting to know how religions work and how different religions work I always have loved psychology and sociology Islam is so stupidly fantastic though it has managed to be in a position where it can be every way bad but still take a good position among people who wants to take the moral high grounds Really fascinating 😅

[@anmolm1312]

Nehru gave himself Bharat Ratna the same way Iran chooses their supreme leader😂😂😂😂

[@lookintoit4537]

@@user-bx3sx9gt8b Honestly I don't know why you'd call me bhakt. Let's talk about Modi's failures. He couldn't execute farming reforms. He didn't execute labor reforms or land reforms. Our education system, specifically primary and vocational need much more budget and improvement. That didn't happen. Police reforms are needed. I dislike Modi's cult. Many bjp supporters are just toxic keyboard warriors. Bjp leaders had become very arrogant. In my state, WB, bjp failed to empower local leaders and protect its voters from TMC thugs. I talked about his negative points because that's what you brought up. I can talk about the positives too. I have always voted for BJP.

Siavash, how unsafe are Iranian activists inside Canada? How helpful have Jewish Canadians been to the noble Iranian cause? How helpful have Indian Canadians been to the noble Iranian cause?

The Islamic regime will continue to rule Iran. There is no revolution coming there.

I lost it at the inventions part in between 10:00 to 30:00 😂. I mean every muslim group claims to have done better than other muslim group. Turks think they are the best muslims. Iranian muslims think are the best muslims. 😂

Did this guy live in iran ? The way he pronounces moslem i doubt him

[@BaronEvola123]

55:00---it's far worse than he describes. Things have gone swimmingly well for Canada because they've been neighbors of a much more powerful country, The US. The problem with that is that they've turned into spiteful mutants, born of them possessing a chip on their shoulder.
