Reply to comment by Steiny31 in Iran Shutting Down Morality Police,Official Says, After Months of Protests by murshiddar

Ultimately the religious police mean nothing if the system and the culture still allows thugs to murder people because of perceived breaking of religious rules. The religious police are simply a product of the system and the system needs to go down first.

> the system and the culture

Iran is made up of different groups and cultures that has been forced throughout history by the Persians to live in one country in which the Persians are in power with iron-clad rules. Many of Iranians, especially the near Iraq and Turkey border view women very different from some other parts of the country. This regime's rule is even foreign to majority of the country when you think of the country's long history. Majority of those who protested in 1979 wouldn't have done so in retrospect, knowing about what's happening now.
