We Must Not Enable Anyone To Impose

The Condition Of Women In Islamic Societies As A Whole Is Far From Desirable. However, We Should Acknowledge That There Are Differences. In Certain Countries, The Conditions Are Much Better And In Others Much Worse. For Example, The Conditions Women Face Even In Egypt Differ A Whole Lot From What Their Iranian Counterparts Deal With. The Condition Of Women In Pakistan Is Far Different From That In Saudi Arabia. This Shows That You Can Have Different Interpretations Of Islam.

My Hopes For Iran's Future Lies With Women First And Foremost. Iran's Feminist Movement Is Very Strong. This Movement Has No Leader Or Head Quarters. Its Place Is The Home Of Every Iranian Who Believes In Equal Rights. This Is Currently The Strongest Women's Movement In The Middle East.

The Fight Against Terrorism Is A Legitimate Fight. And Certainly Whoever Commits Terrorism Should Be Brought To Justice. Unfortunately, The United States And A Few Other Governments Have Used The War On Terrorism As A Way Of Violating Human Rights.

Islam Is Not An Excuse For Thwarting Democracy.

I Have Never Been Convinced Throughout My Life That One Needs To Be Imitating Others. I Even Tell My Daughters Not To Look At Me As A Model. Everyone's Condition Is Different, And The Way That Each Person Lives His Or Her Life Is Different. What Is Important Is That One Utilizes One's Intellect And Not To Be 100 Percent Sure About One's Convictions. One Should Always Leave Room For Doubt.
