Iran an Axis of Good for Korea?

The fact that Korean professors are indoctrinating their students with this garbage is not surprising considering the anti-Americanism and pro-communism stances they teach as well:

At the start of his course, Prof. Lee Hee-su of Hanyang University’s Dept. of Cultural Anthropology, one of the best known Islam specialists in Korea, asks his students to write down what comes to mind when they hear the words “Islam” and “Iran.” About 70 percent of the Iran associations are negatively charged, including “axis of evil,” terrorists, revolution, Khomeini and oppression of women. Prof. Lee says he does not understand his students’ and many Koreans’ bias given that Iran has never done Korea any harm and has if anything been on an “axis of good” where Korea is concerned.

Where do I start on this one? First of all, what did Iran do during the Korean War and it’s aftermath for Korea? Nothing. One of the world’s poorest countries, Ethiopia has done more for Korea’s freedom than Iran ever has with Ethiopia’s deployment of thousands of soldiers during the Korean War.

Secondly, Iran is the world’s biggest supporter of terrorism. How many Koreans have died in terrorist attacks over the years? I know some were killed during 9/11 for example and the Korean contractor in Iraq was beheaded by Zarqawi’s Al Qaida in Iraq terrorist group which Zarqawi has strong ties with Iran. Than Iran is one of the biggest importers of North Korean No Dong Missiles providing large sums of money back to the North Korean military to allow them to continue to threaten South Korea with.

You have also Iran’s nuclear ambitions. How does a nuclearized Iran serve Korea’s interests? It will only encourage North Korea to build more nukes plus if Iran does build nuclear weapons it will probably cause yet another war in the Middle East that will in turn create more instability and higher oil prices harming Korea’s export driven economy.

Where do I begin on the oppression of women? According to the professor the oppression of women is no big deal:

They also agree that polygamy and the oppression of women in Islamic countries have been exaggerated, while terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. The so-called “honor killings” where male relatives kill women and girls they believe guilty of sexual transgression are a chronic problem in the Middle East and far beyond and have no basis in Islam.

This guy is obviously an idiot because anyone that has been to the Middle East especially Saudi Arabia and Iraq can tell you women are treated like property. If the professor thinks that the fact that women are treated equal to dogs is an exaggeration than so be it.

This is just another example of how intellectually bankrupt the Korean educational establishment is. Than again we should not be surprised by their embrace of Iran considering their adoration of Kim Jong Il whose human rights violations and oppression of his people make Iran’s own fault pale in comparison.
