It was only after taking down the power of the Pope in Europe in the 15th century, that Europeans finally were able to prosper and what we call today the "Renaisance" of major advancements in science, philosophy, art, music ...you name it ...cam about in Europe proper. There is a very strong inverse correlation between religion and progress.
Look at America today, we have a war between the backward, evangelical christian center of the country versus the technologically sophisticated atlantic and pacific coasts. And fortunately - the two coasts won. Go to the heartland, and sit in a diner and talk to the folk out there. They are backward. Hicks. Down right stupid. They'll tell you that Obama is a muslim - he was born in Kenya ... they're focused on shit not on progress! They have no clue how to advance the nation, pull it forward from the crisis that "W" created. I call this battle the war between the believers and the achievers. Most of America's GDP comes from the two coasts - not the heartland.
This war between Religion and progress is a global war. Its a war that indeed could be lost in the U.S. This is the war of our generation. This is world war III. It is an intellectual battler. A cyber war. A war being fought inside people's hearts and minds. It is a war we must win - and we should never give up or give in.
Be sure that the Mullahs will lose - sooner or later - and this time, they will be gone forever. And Iranians will rid themselves of the curse of religion. Iran will then advance and be able to get further ahead then the rest of the world ...The future is ours to create, the future is ours to celebrate in.
IRI's biggest contribution to Iran and mankind will be that once they are gone, we will be able to build a better,stronger future - then for example America! In America - they will forever have to fight the morons on right - but in Iran we will be forever rid of them.

We must all promise not to pee on their graves when they're dead and buried.
The USA and Europe learned very well what you discuss,
by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Sat Nov 24, 2012 02:49 PM PSTits why they focus on religion and use it to meet their interests, in the USA Religion is unlikely to win because the real tough goal has already been achieved there, the system in the USA is democratic and it does move forward, the only way for religion to win is after a US govt defeat and that is not on the horizon for awhile. A decline yes, but a government defeat no. The interests of the USA/EU are at the heart of why Iran can not become a democracy and progress now. It is why after Khomeini, the west love either Mossadegh or Mursi which we are all to believe represent democracy for Iran and Egypt, it's sick and deadly but they have no heart in pursuit of food. And Iran, the middle-east and North Africa are food. What Iran needs are more Iranians that can grasp this and realise that the cruel hopes they have pursued have brought them exactly where they are. On removing the IRI and stopping the wests aim for extremism in Iran, good luck to you, the USA and EU are not going to sit on their hands for you to take away their meal from them. It is very common Iranians to have such optimism, that is what leads people to thinking Iran can be democratic today too, from the tyranny it is in, because they don't understand what interests have brought the tyranny. And Iranians themselves if you speak with them think they are geniuses. Yet on the whole they can't even admit they were wrong and figure out today they are wrong or what the correct answer is, what kind of a genius is this, that after 33 years can be so easily lead with a leash by the media in the west?????? The path for freedom, justice and democracy can hardly even be even started without some basic clarity of acts that the mass personally disapproves of.
Some of the points in the article were very true and important AY YAI YAI.
