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.

I've just come in on this thread, not having read the the prior posts.

I would like to thank you for posting.

The U.S. textbooks to Afghanistan is a not a surprise, still I was surprised!

I have only read the Emperor's Clothes link, & looked at the who are we page, I was very impressed with the heart & honesty of the founder & editor Jared Israel.

Thanks again.

[Edit:] I've read the entire thread now. Some informative posts, & a whole lot of back biting too.

Great links LordFu! :-)
