If you weren’t around before 1979, you may think the people of Iran have always been 13th century lunatics.

These two photos perfectly demonstrate the difference between the theocratic Iran of today and the Iran of 30 years ago that was the most westernized country in the middle east. (You can see dozens of other photos of surprisingly Westernized, pre-secular Iran here).

Iranian Akhbar Ganji describes the 1979 Iranian revolution as an event that “promised us heaven, but… created a hell on earth.”

Young Iranian women in 2009. Literally a completely different picture.

On the other hand, well-known Iranian nutcase Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says today’s Iran is “a perfect model of splendid, humane, and divine life… for all the peoples of the world.”
