a quick look at wolfgang's posts shows him speaking against the war in iraq, and against a potential war in iran. while wolfgang often targets religious crackpots (of many religious backgrounds) he speaks supportively of progressives of different cultural backgrounds as well. Wolfgang has acknowledged that Muslims come from many different countries and have different forms of Islam, that Muslims are not a race. He sees Muslims in their complexity of backgrounds and views.

..........a contribution of Wolfgang's from another thread -

Some comments on Iran by Iranians living in exile (mostly my translation):

Ferdos Mirabardi: The only groups protesting openly against the regime are women and students...Women in Iran have lost so much under the mullahs that they defend each little piece of freedom...Each islamic regime is basically hostile to women.

Simin Afschar: Iranians are much more progressive than the reactionary picture of human rights the mullahs have...Ninety percent of the population are held in leash by ten percent, the mullahs and their goons.

Hamid Tafazoli: voices for a change of regime have to come from within the country itself

Hessam Vossoughi. Once the resistance against the Shah has been propagated as 'antiimperialism'..., but behind this 'left' propaganda quickly the antimodern impetus could be seen.

Maryam Namazie: The situation of women living in Islam-stricken societies and under Islamic laws is the outrage of the 21st century. Burqa-clad and veiled women and girls, beheadings, stoning to death, floggings, child sexual abuse in the name of marriage and sexual apartheid are only the most brutal and visible aspects of women's rightlessness and third class citizen status in the Middle East
