Chapter 199: Iran Is Religious (Not in the Way You Think)
from The Last Thoughts of a Busy Mind · host Ali Khamseh
The matter of religion is always more complex than it seems, but it becomes doubly-so when it enters the varied world of Middle East. The outward view of many countries make them seem like purely religious puritans, even though their ultimate goal is control, and religion is just one single lever in their arsenal. Though, religiosity becomes even more complex when the actions of supposed religious governments inflate to reflect on the public, and there's no better example of that than Iran.Email me at: [email protected]
