Now why is it those nations such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and many others allow Islam to have such a heavy influence and basically control their government and everyone that lives within it. Essentially, why is it hundreds of nations all over the world have become more secular, meanwhile the majority of the Middle East hangs on to Islam. Same with parts of Africa as well, however I am more interested in the middle east when it comes to this topic.
Its a toxic mix of the culture being infested by religion and vice versa. Its a vicious circle of one reinforcing the other with centuries of blind indoctrination and constant repression added to weed out the wayward.
If anywhere needs a wall its the middle east to keep em all in.
