"I am against revolution and am proud of it. Democracy cannot be created through revolutions. The most important dichotomy that I make for a society is between those who support democracy and human rights, and those who oppose it. In a totalitarian state, the state views any act of an individual to be political in nature. For example, the clothing that a person wears in a modern state is a private affair whereas in the Islamic Republic all women are forced to wear the hijab (Islamic attire). When women push their headscarf back an inch or two, this is interpreted to be a political act," – Akbar Ganji, Iranian dissident, in Paris. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Iran is a theocratic totalitarian state. Check out his comments on Iran’s nuclear program as well.
