@sovietsoldier12 Another form of proof is pro-regime rallies. The overwhelming majority of women in these rallies are seen wearing chadors or veils. The core support of the regime stems from this highly ideological Islamist minority
@sovietsoldier12 If someone says they are a Muslim, but then they drink alcohol, don’t pray, and do all sorts of “haram” stuff are they really even a Muslim anymore?
@sovietsoldier12 You seem to not understand my position. I never argued that Iran is a majority atheist country. I said that most Iranians aren’t religious. Irreligious doesn’t equal being an atheist or agnostic. If someone is a Muslim only in name, they are irreligious as they lack interest
@sovietsoldier12 They absolutely deride relaxation carried out by MBS in Saudia. I stumble upon a clip of girls dancing at an event in Syria, and Sunni Islamists were mad in comments, many saying this isn’t the change they fought for
@sovietsoldier12 Go search for it. Why shall I put all the effort for you only for you to play mental gymnastics. Google is free for you
I’m not projecting my biases. I have seen more world than you.
@sovietsoldier12 You are an utter moron. The above passage clearly states that Iranians are increasingly becoming non-religious, and the surveys you were citing even corroborated that. But obviously as a Shia notion why would you accept the reality
@sovietsoldier12 Religious people, particularly in Muslim world, largely don’t want secularism. It’s just common sense. You simply lack it. Not my issue
@sovietsoldier12 Mf, you literally claimed that you are using Iranian social commentators to argue that Iranians are largely religious people. When proven wrong, you have started playing mental gymnastics
@sovietsoldier12 You are a dumbass idiot. Religious people being opposed to making certain religious stuff mandatory doesn’t mean they support secularism. The overwhelming majority of religious Iranians support Islamic revolution. The problem is that these Shia Islamists are a minority
@sovietsoldier12 It’s simply proven in pew research surveys across Muslim world. In each and every Muslim country where majority of people reported praying daily or weekly, the support for sharia law was also high. That’s just how Muslim world works
@sovietsoldier12 You shall learn to read. Pardon me, but you have a really low IQ. The article is literally conveying that young Iranians are increasingly becoming dissatisfied or distanced from (shia) islam
@sovietsoldier12 You are being obtuse, dude. He’s simply saying that even some religious families oppose enforcing hijab. This doesn’t mean they are asking for secularism. Maybe you shall learn to read. Again, where did he argue on numbers? Where did he said most Iranians were religious?
@sovietsoldier12 You really shall just admit that you are or were wrong. The sources you are citing contradict your claims. At least Sunnis do recognise the shifts towards secularism and Irreligiosity in Sunni majority countries. The South Asian shias want to stay delusional
@sovietsoldier12 “the majority of Iranians, around 80%, do not want to live in an Islamic Republic.”
“22% favour a monarchy, 25% a secular republic, 19% an Islamic
republic, and 34% remain undecided due to lack of knowledge or disillusionment.”
