Before you condemn and atomize, I remembered this article (linked below) from 1999 in National Geographic on Iran . . . . . and deals with the attitudes of young people in that country versus the more fanatical elements who happen to be in charge.

Khatami, referred to in the article in 1999, is, of course, no longer as powerful.
Iran was clearly on a track towards a modern society before recent elections where only candidates approved by clerics were allowed to stand . . . . . resulting in the current somewhat fanatical leadership in office.
Underlying that though . . . .
