Iran's People Speak: What They're Really Fighting For

As protests continue across Iran, many people outside the country might be asking a simple question: What are Iranians actually fighting for?

The answer becomes clear when we look at Iran before 1979, before radical Islamic extremists seized control of the state and reshaped every aspect of life through radical Islamic ideology and force. Iran is an example of the ramifications of allowing radical Islamic extremism and its ideology to be tolerated, excused, or ignored. And Canada must pay attention.
