To demonstrate to Iranians inside of Iran that they are supported by people all around the world, and assure them that they are not alone in their struggle7.

But silencing these people by force, and calling them foreign backed terrorists, can have only one result more violence.

I decided to share my thoughts online in an anonymous blog because I knew how important it is for everyone with this problem to feel supported and not alone.

As the protests got out the regime's control, Jihadists from around the world, bankrolled by money from oil rich Gulf countries, rose to protect their Sunni brothers against the onslaught of the Alawite rulers of Damascus.

In the populist imagination, both the very top and the very bottom of society are not really a part of it they are directly or indirectly supported by outside powers (think of pro European liberal elites in Central and Eastern Europe) more obviously, they are immigrants or minorities, like the Roma.
