So you want Iran to break the 'axis of resistance' and become a secular nation?
Thats not what is at play. But definately we all want Iran to become economically integrated into global economy again.
About secular or not secular.
As you may know by now, Im not a fan of any organized religion, particularly not when it gets so much role in government and politics. Im an agnostic fella.
Being secular or religious should be a private matter of the individual, and not be imposed by the state.
Im not saying Iran should be secular (even though I am secular), but I do want that Islam is less imposed on citizens and people should be given more personal freedoms.
I have several cousins from Iran that visit Sweden regularly and whenever I bring up the subject of religion they become really tired. They say "please let us be, we are already up to here with religion in Iran, let us just relax here". Something like that.
I honestly think political Islam is a threat to the spiritual side and I believe political Islam has been bit of a failure.
Anything in excess is not good. Give people the right to choose for themselves and personal freedoms. If they choose Islam cool, but if not then it also should be accomodated.
Everyone should be respected, whether religious or secular.
