The Iranian people are losing faith in Islam because their Islamic Regime is so corrupt.

This is why Sistani does not want an Islamic Republic in Iraq.

The people are either secular or turning to Christianity and/or Zoroastrianism. But remember it is illegal to leave Islam in Iran.

Do you have any links where I could find out more about this? Also, what are the people protesting today?

Corruption is endemic thoughout the Third World - the poorer and more primitive the society, the worse the corruption (I don't know how we managed to escape from that as much as we have).

Can a regime change bring a real cultural change?

And, once again, how much support is there in Iran for a secular regime, for real tolerance of other religions? Are we looking at a recreation of the American, the French, or the Russian Revolution? Or at a new Pol Pot?

Several months ago, I heard of a poll(don't know if it was foreign or Iranian)that indicated that young Iranians were increasingly being drawn to the gentle,Jesus Christ. I thought that was just wonderful.

I am fervently praying for a successful Persian revolution in Iran, and self-determination for the Iranian people, whatever religion they choose.
