Islam has been used to radicalize many Muslim populations. The U.S. did it in Afghanistan in the '80s through school text books. Saudi Arabia has done it to keep the royal family on the throne. Iran is relatively moderate compared to those two countries, or was.

The people are not their government, either. You can't say a whole nation is this way or that way, and that goes for religions, too.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
