The Iranian Foreign Minister makes a good point by: The US system of hegemony has failed (nothing new.....)

A good point? This man should not be given air time on here or on any media!

"The Iranian foreign minister also criticized the lack of family stability in Western countries and said basic social structures like the family have virtually lost all meaning, having been replaced by such morally reprehensible social bonding as seen among homosexuals. "

People are free to do what they like, it is not always to our liking, but they are free. However, "structures like the family" have certainly NOT broken down. I wonder how many western TC members here would say they do not belong to a solid family unit?

"Commenting on the role of Muslim women in their societies, Mottaki said it was incumbent upon the people and governments of Islamic states to provide every possible means for the full and constructive participation of women in all fields of social activity."

(Will believe this when I see it)

AE! I was just pasting the same fragment

What else could an Iranian say? Would you really like to see the world as it is over there with its "family" values, free from homosexual perverts etc? Don't forget that one of the things that keeps this system of values going is the thought that women are inferior to men. That ensures the peace. Women know their place. The community is ok with 12-year-olds being forced to marry. Is that a value reform you want to see in the corrupt west?

I hope we are not sharing the same brain too

Daydreamer, do you come from a solid family unit? Do most of your friends?

Or are you busy sleeping with a different man everynight and doing immoral things? Do I? Do any of my friends?

This kind of "evil west" propaganda is utter crap.

seems still a high wall between west&east,so people trying to judge each other from behind to wall by don't show any effort for climb on wall for know each other better?thats really great stuff for who feeding for their selfish political aims?Sure there will be always deep cultural differences,but i think thats never barrier for understand each other better...And i think we forget ethical rules never in monopoly of east or west and easy to see most of realities same for all of us when we look at to events by objective glasses..Life singing to same song to all of us just with different tunes,so better to catch common notes

what annoys me is that people compare bikini with burka. thus they show they arent using the logics at all.

first of all, let us look at the percent of western women who walk, work and live in bikini everyday: 0%

does any of you in the west go shopping in bikini?

they wear bikini when they on the beach sunbathing. which maybe happens once a year and maybe a week or so.

second, lets look at the percent of easttern and western (muslim) women who cover themselves with hijab/niqab/burka, they walk, work and live in tents. can we say 0% about covered women? it is around more than 80-90%

calling westerners degradated they hide their own backwardness.
