Secular Democracy In Iran: Hedayat (famous Iranian writer): What Islam Brought to Iran: Our Customs were not of burying our daughters alive..... They “taught” us how to wipe our bottom and how to use the bathroom...... a true Muslim is who in hopes of superstitious sensual joys of after life would live a life of poverty to gather the luxury and pleasures of life for the leaders of his faith, live cherishing the dead and living under the grim rules from thousands of years ago, which animals would not even follow. ...... Their business is to argue their doubts and differences from dawn till sunset instead of consuming time on inner thoughts, arts and philosophy. ..... Enemy of mankind’s inner joy for success, innovation and advancement, has narrowed down to the tactic of holding their swords against throats to stop what they despise. ...... Destroying our magnificent works of art.In medieval Hinduism women were burnt alive along with their dead husbands. The Islamists' Islam is medieval. Their version of Islam can not be taken into the future. Islam has to survive and flourish, but not its medieval version. Democracy is about social progress, and you necessarily have to attack medieval religious beliefs to get there. You have to attack with words their leaders, their thoughts, their organizations. You have to wean away the masses from their false prophets. The villains who run Iran today give Islam a bad name. They misuse the name of God to rule and rampage and plunder. They misuse the name of God to bring suffering upon their own peoples. They should be socially outcast for thus misusing the name of God. The Ayatollah has been committing blasphemy on a daily basis. That can not be tolerated. That part is nothing to do with politics, or democracy or elections. That part is strictly religion. The people of Iran need to snatch Islam from the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah is an Islamofascist who is a follower of Hitler, not the Prophet Muhammad. The Ayatollah has been mercilessly going after his own peoples for close to two years now. The people of Iran have a right to peacefully protest, they have a right to speak, they have a right to shout out Allah O Akbar from their rooftops. Those rights can not be taken away by some blasphemous, bearded, good-for-nothing mullah. In every age in human history there have been so-called priests who symbolize religious corruption. In this day and age that would be the mullahs of Iran. These are not religious people, let alone religious leaders. These are blood thirsty tyrants who come out at night to drink the blood of their own peoples. These people think of nothing the tactic of using violence to try and suppress their own peoples. Islam does not belong to them, never did. The people of Iran do not belong to them. These mullahs speak neither for Islam, nor the peoples of Iran. These corrupt priests need to be dragged out of the mosques never to be allowed back in, for they give God a bad name. What is at stake in this movement is more than a political system, Iran's very religion is at stake. Faith is fundamental. Family is fundamental. Justice is fundamental. Work is fundamental. All those are at stake for the people of Iran in this movement. The green revolution has only one conclusion: victory. There can be no other conclusion. We will worry about elections later on. First the people of Iran need to reclaim their religion.
