According to Dr. Fredrick Toben:

This moral principle is embodied within the popular Iranian president, Dr Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, the engineer and soldier who before becoming the president was mayor of the
١٢+million inhabitants of Iran ’s capital city, Tehran . His plain dress-sense indicates he is one
of the people and shuns material enrichment, nor does he dress in traditional clothes.
In western democracies the driving force is overt consumerism-materialism-hedonism-nihilism.
Anything goes for the sake of having fun – enjoy yourself, have fun and self-destruct, but
don’t criticise the various political institutions that deliver us that much-praised western form
of ‘freedom and democracy’, with which we can fight the war on global terrorism. That the ٩/١١
form of terrorism is made in the USA, that the White House possessed the receipts that
purportedly enabled Ira to acquire its alleged WMDs was a given, something Iranians are well
aware of.
The large family analogy and the scapegoat concept is useful in explaining how a family needs
a clear enemy picture in order to stay together. For the USA and its willing helpers it is the
Muslim world. For the Muslims it is US imperialism and its rather ugly stunted outgrowth –
Zionist Israel.
I noticed the absence of dogs and cats in Mashhad , and unlike London and Paris , for example,
where litter abounds, Mashhad is a clean city. In western democracies dogs and cats have
become a substitute companion for many elderly whose extended family has succumbed to
individuality’s quest. In Iran the usual three-generations still exist. To my pointing out that a
while ago in Australia an elderly couple was found dead four months after the event, and an
elderly man was found a year or two after he had died. In unison students responded that this
would never happen in Iranian society – not yet, anyway. So, in Iran you have trouble finding
a pet but you have no trouble finding an extended family member. That this can also bring
with it some oppressive features is, of course, a given.
Muslim women are still fertile while women in the western democracies find it an imposition to
have children and thus have become addicted to abortions, if not to outright sterilitybarrenness
through an act of ‘choice’. Such life-denying value-system does not deserve to be
supported by an elaborate government program, as is now the case in most western European
democracies. I wonder if this is by design or not, but within such a world view there is no
room for ideals such a TRUTH, HONOUR, JUSTICE, PATRIOTISM, SACRIFICE.
