Persepolis confirmed my beliefs that religious radicalism is very dangerous for any society. Any group of people that speaks of hate, oppression and try to limit freedom and speech should be viewed as threat to everyones freedom. Iran just simply had the misfortune of having a political climate that allowed these radical religious factions to rise to power, slowing Iran's progress to towards the modern age.
The book helped me understand pre-revolution climate of Iran.
