    What is left wing about that? Sounds like Russian propaganda. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear something like that from AfD or FPÖ … and they hate Muslims but they also repeat everything Sputnik writes.

      My Iranian American friends tell me they don’t trust aljazeera as a source because they are anti-Iranian. I’m not sure how true that is, but I do know the contents of the videos I saw. And only the Iranian regime had guns.
