Graet article, and so true. Might be extremely interesting for polish readers - religion in our country is very strong and we have plenty orthodox catholics even among politicians.It’s worth to publish this text on polish sites. I m wondering whether I need special permission for full traslation from authour or The Reason project. Can you advise plse.

Hopefully he’s right. It’d be good for The Iranian Republic to reform because of Iranian wishes. Islam is a barbaric mess, but I doubt the intention of the revolution was to create the dictatorship they currently enjoy.

Also, the claims that the west is evil must be easier to see through. The average man in an Islamic country must ask themselves why the infidels enjoy peace, longer lives and better respect for life? We’re not perfect, but our governments rarely shoot their citizens.

You will want to inquire about publication rights from the publisher.  In this case, the Washington Post.
