If Iran manages something like this the positive fall-out might serve to reconnect them back a little bit to the democratic world. Maybe it will help also to break somewhat the wave of islamofobia that is sweeping across Europe. I feel sick to my stomach to see the amount of xenofobic, reactionary BS that is poured out by my fellow countrymen on a daily basis. It seems to be everywhere, nowadays, this brainrot. One may overhear the most flagitious conversation in the train, or stumble accross the most venomous, misguided blogs, or, worse, have friends suddenly come out and say something so incredibly mutton-headed that it leaves you gasping for air. And of course, our politicians have not failed to pick up on this, either.

Seeing that something this positive can come from the muslim world might help to open their eyes. (I know, but hope springs eternal.)
