Iran is an oppressive theocracy. Saudi Arabia is an oppressive theocracy. Both of them support people/groups we would call terrorists. The only regard in which Iran is somehow worse than Saudi Arabia is that they have a more outspoken hate of Israel while the Saudis are clever enough to avoid speaking too badly about a country in their region that is a close ally to the countries they're so good at doing business with.
One country being worse than another doesn't make the other country any better. I'm not saying Iran is moderate. It's just a heck of a lot more moderate (in practice) than Saudi Arabia, a country that televises PSAs that women shouldn't drive and that you better don't skip on any of your prayers throughout the day because God will literally kill you if you do that.
"Despite the foreign politics a few years ago, Iran is reportedly rather moderate in practice."
I disagreed. There is nothing moderate about Iran's oppressive theocracy or their support of terrorism. Iran is at the extreme far end of the scale when it comes to not being moderate, among countries.
I said nothing about Islam. Supporting terrorists has nothing to do with Islam. Iran supporting Hezbollah has to do with Iran supporting terrorists.
I never said Saudi or Iran were worse. That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. This isn't an argument over what the worst country on earth is.
My point was: Iran is an oppressive theocracy that directly finances terrorism. They are, very blatantly. And if Saudi is worse, that does not mean Iran isn't still an oppressive theocracy.
