Cafe are not originally “westernâ€. Coffee and tea houses have been a staple of Persian culture for hundred of years. Iran has had modern coffee shops even before the invention of internet. Turkey another West Asian country also has had them as long but if its in Iran it has to be a copy of the west.

It's delusional to view the protests of .001% of the population of 81 million citizens as disenchantment of the general population.

In Iran feminists protest headscarves; in the United States feminists embrace headscarf culture.
None of this nonsense would exist if all this stupid religious crap was not a thing. Religion and all the absolute childish bullsh*t that goes along with it is a scourge on our species.
