Some reactions..on the little we do here..it is nice to take the message where it matters the most..

Western vices and mullahs

Sir: The mullahs never cease to amaze me. They keep lecturing us against the vulgarity and immorality of the West. They carry out campaigns against the encroaching influences of western culture in our society and encourage their goons to take vigilante action against 'vulgarity' as they perceive it in the media, circuses and billboards. And of course let us not forget that they consider Western civilisation not just immoral and permissive but also an enemy of Islam. But at the same time they have no problems sending their own children to study in the land of the "great Satan", the US. Isn't this a case of double standards?

Iqbal,
Thanks for you thoughtful response. If you look at my pieces at the Iranian site you will see that we are on the same wave length. I think the critique of Islam should come from Muslims and your article is a step in that direction.
Best,
Ahmad
