CNN Leaves Out An Important Element of the Iran Ctisis

1/12/26 CNN article focuses on economic motivations for the revolution in Iran while predictably giving almost no attention to the widespread opposition to the heavy hand of the theocratic.  Other news sources are discussing feminist rejections of the morality police.  These include very public rejection of the hijab requirements and women lighting cigarettes with burning pictures of the Supreme Ayatollah: combining two different strikes in one act.

Why this seeming indifference to the religious dimension?  The same progressives that reject all Christian values in the West as theocracy have an actual theocracy abusing women and gays and cannot seem to talk about it.  Progressives have largely accepted the legitimacy of Islamic theocracy, I think, because it is an enemy of Christianity and the West. Progressives regard these as the real enemy; Islamic theocracy is an acceptable path to destroying that enemy. Of course, the Islamic socialist alliance in their fantasy, will end up becoming a secular movement.
