Considering the sad state of Iran, all under the rule of an incompetent twisted rule of clerical Islam, it is hard to believe that there may be secular mullahs in existence.
But consider the following statements:
“the combination of sword and Quran is more dangerous than nuclear technology.”
“The union of Ataturk’s secularism and Rumi’s Sufism is the only hope for the survival of Islam and muslims.”
Could this be coming from a Shia cleric?
Some people might be calling this, the clerical establishment’s last straw to save its ass. Maybe so. Maybe not. But then again, he’s not Iranian. Still, I like to watch the fact that finally things have come to such a point, where a Shia cleric defends western secularism against other fellow arabs. He’s defending Ataturk!
See for yourself:
PS: Isnt it a shame that Iran’s media never broadcasts such types of debates, while we have to watch such open debates on Arabic channels?
