Iran Ruled by Religion

Iran is ruled by all the strength of the country’s religion. The Mullahs rule by their Holy Book and the people have no say in their government or how to live their own lives. Females are surpressed and the moral police are on the streets to drag any woman away for any offence.

The Iranian people are ruled by religion and thus the people are not allowed to have any say in their own internal affairs. They are considered as wards of the state in the care of a paternal priesthood. The result of repression is felt especially by the young generation of Iranian adults who feel as if they are dealt with as ignorant and profane. They are under the thumb of religion where mere mortals dominate them in the name of God.

In 1988 Iran signed a bill with the U. N. sponsoring a peace deal with Saddam Hussein. The country could not go on taking the huge casualties of war. Khomeini for a long time had claimed that God was on the side of Iran and would prevail, but even so, he was forced to sign. Desperate to recover religious credibility and seeing there were protests against an Indian novelist, Salman Rushdie, living in England, Khomeini pronounced a death sentence on him. So, the world began to understand the meaning of “jihad” as exported to non-Muslim societies by bribery and force. In most countries there is fear of printing anything that offends Islamic “sensibilities,” for fear of retaliation

Iran is a country that governs itself by a religious book, enforced by it’s mullahs. It’s children learn by rote. The talents of females are repressed and squandered, and it’s educated people are exiled or imprisoned. There is no exception to the rule. When the country fails and nothing works but the illiterate youths of the morality police, who will be blamed? The clerics are not allowed to blame themselves. It must be the Jews, the crusaders, the Freemasons or anyone else. Thus a holy war must be waged on neighbors.

Look at the websites of the Iranians, Hamas, and Hizbullah. Their own state cannot allow any appeal against a Divine edit so their self pity and paranoia must be directed ever outward. What would happen if the Iranian people directed their own internal affairs and insisted the thugs not make an appearance with nuclear weapons to uphold their claims of righteousness and their convictions that they are the victims? Most of us would be happy to see it happen.

    It is hard on women in Iran (and in many other places too), but many countries are ruled by religion one way or another. As an outsider looking in it seems to me that religion plays an unhealthy part in US politics too.

    Being ruled by religion is not bad but if some of its citizens, the women in this case, suffer because of it, then its unhealthy. Its just the ways its always been so the women accept it.

    Do you remember a movie with Sally Fields called,Not without my Daughter”? It really showed just how Iran is ruled as you stated by religioun and the men rule the world there. I have to agree with Daisy and say I don’t think I want to visit there. Excellent article, Ruby.

    i guess,the UN should do something to at least uplift the status of Iranian women and provide the basic rights for children and other citizens

    Religion and politics has no business being in bed together. A politician should not be allowed to mention religion when campaigning, it’s a faith not a fact. Religion is a personal matter, politics is everyone’s business.

    I agree with Moses, religion is a personal matter while politics is for everyone, friends or enemies. Great thoughts, Ruby.

    It is so sad. Iran is a country with so much potential. Its civilization gors back to ancient times and they have contributed so much to the world. I am hopeful for the people of Iran and know that one day they will grow out of this problem enforced upon them. Religion in my opinion is a personal matter and should not interfere with governance!

    As far Iran goes, Asia and Russia is looking at Iran at a completely different stance from the west. From what is being portrayed in the Western media and people who actually visit there, it is a totally different experience and place. I guess religion plays a part in almost any government. Some subtle and some more boldly.
