The ongoing protests over Donald Trump’s executive order lack a genuine democratic message and sincere regret about the US’ policies toward Muslims, Iranian political commentator Ali Reza Rezakhah told Sputnik. According to Rezakhah, what is going on is an all-out anti-Trump campaign launched by his political rivals.
Controversy continues to simmer over Donald Trump’s executive order, entitled “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.”
However, according to Ali Reza Rezakhah, an Iranian political commentator and expert in international affairs,the ongoing protests against Trump’s order shouldn’t be regarded as “regret” about Muslims.
In his interview with Sputnik Persian Rezakhah drew attention to the fact that during the Obama presidency a number of Muslim countries had been subjected to extensive bombing. However, nobody took to the streets to protest against the US’ aerial campaigns.
The Iranian expert believes that what we are witnessing today resembles nothing so much as an anti-Trump campaign launched by his political rivals and liberal media pundits.
“Donald Trump came into conflict with a number of American liberals and the mainstream media. One shouldn’t expect that the [mainstream] media’s coverage of protests against Donald Trump is adequate. One shouldn’t believe what CNN and the New York Times say about it, since they exaggerate and overstate the scale of these protests,” Rezakhah said.
