Culture of Shiit-Persian Iran: voluntary servitude to a leader is our cultural drive. Thus, the base of tyranny is the vast networks of corrupt people with a personal interest in preserving the regime. As the ayatollahs enforced their power, the cultural interpretation of the religion has narrowed, allowing bigotry and deterioration in women’s rights due to a galloping phallocentricity. All forms of arts are proscribed, writers chased and philosophers vilified. Under the rule of Political Islam, Iranian culture is perverted; Persian culture has become a tool to violently ban diversity by persecuting minorities.
