Reza Aslan is, according to the biography on his website, “an internationally renowned writer, commentator, professor, producer, and scholar of religions.” Weirdly enough, his bio doesn’t list “spokesman for the Iranian people.” Apparently that’s what he is, because he has a for Donald Trump and any Americans pleased with our course of action in Iran:
One thing you all need to know about Iranians before celebrating “de-escalation” is that as a people we never ever forget a slight. I mean never.

You heard it here, folks.
Reza and Yashar feel like the two different different sides of the spectrum https://t.co/W7KE72I7OW

Yashar would be journalist Yashar Ali, who, unlike Reza Aslan, is not a flaming nutjob and all-around terrible person.
lovely! https://t.co/bKMO7tJ3BB

Threatening the US on behalf of Iran now, Reza?

Besides you openly rooting for Iran over the United States, what exactly is your point here?
Should we nuke them since they'll always be on the attack?
Also, what ISN'T a "slight" to the Iranian mullahs? https://t.co/jyfE3gULMO

TFW you're disappointed the war you keep predicting and promising doesn't happen.
Your pinned tweet is still a conspiracy about how there was a plan for war with Iran from day 1 despite the admin currently taking exact opposite approach. https://t.co/I0z2453ceB

For the record, here’s Reza’s pinned tweet:
From day one the plan was war with Iran. That’s why Trump pulled out of the Nuke accord, against the advice of his military/intel advisers who said it would mean war. That’s why he killed Soleimani, something Bush & Obama could but wouldn’t do because they knew it would mean war.

So yeah.
Meanwhile, it seems Reza has at last deleted his now-infamous tweet about Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann’s “punchable” face.
LOL now Reza Aslan deleted his Covington tweet. After all this time.
