Right-wingers on social media flipped out over the message Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi had read on his behalf at the Academy Awards on Sunday night.

Farhadi won the Oscar for best foreign film for “The Salesman,” but didn’t attend the ceremony as a protest against President Donald Trump’s executive order banning travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, and temporarily halting the nation’s refugee program.

Instead, Iranian-American engineer Anousheh Ansari read a message on Farhadi’s behalf thanking the academy and his film crew, but blasting the travel ban as “inhumane.”

Farhadi wrote:

“Dividing the world into the us and our enemies categories creates fear. A deceitful justification for aggression and war. These wars prevent democracy and human rights in countries which have themselves been victims of aggression.”

Farhadi also called on his fellow filmmakers to use their craft “to capture shared human qualities” to “create empathy between us and others.”

That sent conservatives over the edge. Here are some of their messages:

So a guy from Iran just lectured America about human rights and democracy, to lusty applause from Hollywood. Too perfect. — Noah Pollak (@NoahPollak) February 27, 2017

Did an Iranian just lecture Americans on inclusivity & tolerance when they ban Jews, kill gays and stone women?

We give an Iranian film maker an award & he writes us a lecture on our government. How about he go lecture his own Iranian leaders? #Oscars — Lauren Cooley (@laurenacooley) February 27, 2017

@Cosmopolitan Hahaha! A lecture on tolerance from an Iranian filmmaker!! Where they want to wipe Jews off the map and execute gays. #Oscars — Claudine Abraham (@claudinelouise) February 27, 2017

And here are some of the responses:

Note to conservative twitter: "The Iranian Guy" is regularly critical of a vicious regime. You all are regularly critical of Meryl Streep. — Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) February 27, 2017

@jonlovett Conservative twitter seems very upset than an Iranian man cares about democracy. I am very confused. #badlogic — The Hug Party (@hugparty2016) February 27, 2017

@NoahPollak People so quick to mock a man for speaking from his heart. I'm confident that the Iranian people would prefer a peaceful life. — Sonya (@SonyaBaker2) February 27, 2017

@jonlovett If the Iranian government defines all of its citizens, then the Trump administration defines all of us. Hooray! — The Hug Party (@hugparty2016) February 27, 2017

You guys know that it's not hypocritical to be Iranian and pro-democracy, right? — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) February 27, 2017

@tcmomoney You are mixing up Iranian regime with many Iranians who hate & oppose that regime many of whom are imprisoned. @TheEllenShow — Kalferi Kalferi (@KalferiK) February 27, 2017

@NickPetersonTV Sad that you can't differentiate between Iranian government and a high-profile person from Iran. — Ana Denmark (@AnaDenmark) February 27, 2017
