Thanks for this article! I didn't realize how recent Islamism as a political force was, I'm guessing it's part of the larger, global anti-Western sentiment wave? I'd be very interested in learning more about this rise of Islamism in a separate article.
The comparisons of modern Iranian society to Gilead is very poignant and explains a lot (at least to me) why there have been so much resistance from ordinary Iranians.
