Confirmed: Iran's Asghar Farhadi won't be let into the US to attend Oscar's. He's nominated for best foreign language film...
Why's that then? He isn't a refugee and daesh are very anti shia and view Iranians as infadels anyway (who get the worst treatment in terms of attack and murder). Like I've said, he'd maybe be better to consider Pakistan and Saudi first.
Does he not realise that for every refugee he refuses, he will be pushing another US citizen further along the line that the US hates 'they' and is killing Muslims.
America born lads and lasses who are/become Muslim will begin to feel under attack by a country that says they don't want them. Ripe pickings for radicalization. And with all those bloody guns and crap control...
He really isn't thinking is he? Sorry to sound ageist but he really is just too old to be doing this job - he is not one if those lawyers, professors, financiers... that you see chugging along in their 90s, still as vital and sharp as ever. He never was a strategist, or a great thinker. I doubt for all his family money, he's ever been 'educated'.
He's more like your grandpa, getting more right wing and vocal as he gets older, going on about 'not like that in my day's, 'need a good war to sort them out', 'those bloody [insert race/nationality/sexuality] - it's a disgrace!'. And everyone says 'oh that's just old John, isn't he terrible! Take no notice if him...'
