so what’s the story over there?
the under 40 crowd want this fanaticism or no?
No, if the 1979 revolution were to happen with today’s numbers, Khomeini would have failed. It’s not hard to imagine a theocratic dictatorship has turned the youth away from religion. Surprisingly, a lot if those who aren’t irreligious are interested in Zoroastrianism of their ancestors, and even Christianity.
Of course, there’s still enough zealots willing to kill people and that’s all that really matters until the masses decide they’re going to as well.
