Now I know the man!

It is amazing how hard he has to try, for himself and for his potential followers, to undo what he accepted during Islamic revolution. Although as a person, religious or not, all of these philosophical issues he has struggle with, were basically non issue to begin with, when he joined the revolution... and this is the case for everybody joining the revolution, including those who by tradition were following their Akhoonds. Because even for them, this has never been a philosophical issue one way or the other.

I also disagree with Faani supposition that if there was no participation in the election, non of this would have happened. First, it is a dishonest question because supporters of the election couldn't see it coming either. Second, I think without the participation 'green' movement couldn't be created. But the 'social movement' would have, with some delay (that I hoped for) but on much stronger ground. Faani supposition is that IRI is running perfectly fine, and without that election and its unexpected aftermath, there couldn't possibly be any grounds for anomaly within the society! Ganji should have caught him there.
