my english is so bad , i want to explain my idea for you & much more want to know how do you think , but i have problem with your post???
all can i say that in iran all of people have two face ... one face in social life & one face in private life ...
it is very similar to your people before fall the SOVIET... but much harder
it is very simillar to george orwell `s novel "1984"....
iranian people very diffrentes with Arabic nation , we** are not like them & our people (not all of them ) ont like Radicalist Muslum ... for example h dont belive any Religion or god I am Atheist but if i say it in public ,,, maybe they kill me or i am being in jail.... so i must be silent...
30 years ago we have a secular goverment (but not democratic) & our country was a friend for western country (espicially with USA we have very very close realation also with Israel ,, yeah many of israilian people are Iranian orginaly" .......
but we had a cahange in goverment & Eslamists got the power & .....
all of thing you see in news they due to in 30 pasts years & our guidence...
but our people in comparission with middle east people are muh more like western people in private life ... for example
we have party , we drink , we have gf , bf ... but froginers think we are a radical muslem , terorist nonononono
our people and our fucking govermente are two diffrent things !!! all of i said that
if you want to know more about our real life i suggest that you see this film:
