I find your article interesting in the sense that is observant of a culture that has been luring around for almost 1400 years till it has found its place of exhibition in the Islamic Regime of Iran. I partially grew up in Iran and these kinds of preaching were done at mosques in every occasion possible. Now from mosques they are brought to school books. And except that we were taught to rise against Imperialists and Zionists. As children we knew not who these enemies of God were. We truely believed they were invisible ghost- or Jinn-like creatures. But the methodology was very effective. As grownups many of us are successful people as one may label the educated and the financially well to do. However, the brainwash still remains with us no matter what rank we carry in the society. That is why you hear pilots, engineers, and even compationate doctors of our creed resort to violence when facing some issues in life, blaming the now-visible imperialist and the zionist for all the ill befallen them.

Although some of us have strayed away from that ideology and its mental grip, but, there are still many of us out there who are swirling in that twilight zone, waiting to explode, like a tickong bomb.
