She was not the first innocent to be cut down in the flower of her youth. Our dear Jian Mahsa Amini's death in custody of the criminal state is not why Iranian are resolved to dispatch the theocratic regime "to the pages of history".

Freedom from oppression. Freedom from violent men and women in thrall of their own misunderstanding and entirely impervious to reason, common sense, decency, who insist at the pain of torture and death that others submit to their ignorance. Sufficient and frankly a demanding reason to motivate any sensible human being.
We Iranians have made a determination. The Islamic Republic must go.

"Other"? Your travels have convinced you that there is no such thing as human being possessing of rights and deserving of respect divorced from local considerations.
Hear then the words of a poet saint of these "others", these Iranians, whose heroic struggle you seek to diminish and discount:
Human Beings are members of a whole
In creation of one essence and soul
If one member is inflected with pain
Other members uneasy will remain
If you have no sympathy for human pain
You have no claim to the name Human Being.
