Newsflash: Muslims Oppressed by Government

An elderly Muslim cleric was arrested, along with 1,000 of his supporters, for supporting "traditional religion", and criticizing the government. He will probably be held without bail and without trial, and may be tortured. In any case, it's a flagrant violation of religious civil rights, since he did not threaten violence.

Of course, liberals are unlikely to get bent out of shape, since he won't be sent to Guantanamo, since he - Ayatollah Mohammad Kazemeni Boroujerdi - is Iranian, and when Iran oppresses traditional Muslims, it's just par for the course. If only he'd lived in the Great Satan, where he could have preached old-fashioned Muslim values without fear of the government!
