Re: Iran,Islam & Those Bashing Islam.
There is not a single interpretation of Islam to derive one's sense of rightuousness and essence of things from. (There is not a single concept of God even). So let this Iranian guy alone and let him assign meanings to life as he understands it.
Turkey and Iran don't derive their identities from Islam alone. Religion can only be one( and often very insignificant ) of a multitude of factors that go into forming a people identity. The point is, Iranians and Turks are very clear about who they are!
