"The Islam I grew up with is about love, peace, and harmony. This is the Islam I connected to, not these fanatics. ...
When you step back and look at the full arc of the Islamic Republic, a pattern emerges. This is a regime that has survived by manufacturing enemies abroad and crushing dissent at home. It has used religion as a shield and a weapon, not as a source of compassion or justice."
