Mike Wallace was never afraid to ask the tough question or sass off someone who was giving him a hard time.

[@lastshelter5550]

Hard to disagree with his statement about family values in the west.

[@kevinivers]

The above comment was most definitely not from an inauthentic account engaged in propaganda, just like Rafsanjani wasn’t lying about Iran not wanting a nuclear weapon. No no no no.

[@petrofilmeurope]

Mike Wallace in Wonderland.

[@sev2300]

Iranians didn’t hate the Shah, the West did!

[@marbles3662]

Oh, Yes, they did, they just didn't know that mullahs have the same ego as shah.

[@sev2300]

@@marbles3662 this doesn’t have anything to do with ego! It’s all about energy and the oil-hungry Brits. Mullahs came to power to do the West’s bidding in the middle east, sth that the Shah had decided to put an end to when he pushed for a price increase for oil.

[@glennmillerfan]

@@sev2300 I agree. I think that the west got salty with the Shah over the 1973 Oil Embargo and started to reduce support for him as a result.

[@alinickshoar]

people in Iran seem to be prepared to get the data , i mean it's the time

[@sdkfz2519]

This is such a bad report. It makes viewers think that most Iranians were religious zealots back in 1997, which was not the case. Also, wrongly says Rafsanjani was "very popular", while people knew Rafsanjani as a very corrupt and ruthless mullah. One of Mike Wallace's worst and most inaccurate interviews.

[@farahtopash8032]

Most Iranian are religious

[@tonganqueenb5517]

Most educated westerners see this as American propaganda.

[@Jupiter-td4kw]

Actually Rafsanjani was pretty popular ,you and your circles didn’t like him that doesn’t mean everyone els didn’t like him,although personally i didn’t like him but he was a very cunning person

[@shakilnabab9064]

The way president rafsan answered all those hard question proves that iran respect others opinion. Actually Iranian government is trying to guide the young generation to the path of prosperous and healthy future. Western Nudity is extremely dangerous for family structure which is affecting very badly countries exposed in western destructive culture.

[@Awakeningspirit20]

Many in the West feel as you do; we're not as different as one might believe.

Mike Wallace.

[@imranrizvi7905]

Honestly, it's like two hypocrites talking to each other. One says, you did this and this and the other says you have also done the same. Both are involved in supporting criminal activities. But, as for the Islamic teachings, Is one night stand banned in the US? Do people not have choice to wear whatever they want?

Your culture didn't get destroyed by Salman Rushdie, but in 1500 years ago, by those attacked to your country and burnt every book and library and forced your ancestors to speak in other language than Iranian language. Until when further generation born, they don't even know what was their culture and think this current compulsory and dictated culture is their culture. and defend that like they are defending their own original and real culture. this is where you dont think about it. you first need to realize what is your culture.

[@Jupiter-td4kw]

Well I’m sure if we were still Zoroastrian we would still be against somethings that comes from the west,we didn’t accept Roman culture and viewed them as barbaric in some aspects why would we accept the same culture today?

President Rajsanjani 1997 ... is 100% correct ... in all he says herewith ...

[@agitatedman3260]

Historical notes: It is an undeniable fact of history that before Muhammed was born, the moon god "al-Ilah" (Allah) had three daughters named al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat. ... As Muhammad grew weary from evangelizing his new religion with little success, he was tricked by the devil into adding a verse in the Koran that commanded Muslims to pray to Allah's three pagan daughters Lat, Uzza and Manat. .

[@muhammadyasaal1075]

This is no undeniable fact. No muslim worships anyone or anything expect for Allah alone. No verse in the Quran tells the muslims to worship anything else and no mention is made of such so called daughters of God. Instead the Quran corrects the Bible in this matter saying that they(the christians) have falsely attributed a son to God and that it is not befitting to God that he has offspring. Plus Allah is the arabic word for God. He is not a moon god, He is the only God as per the muslims believe; who are very much of monotheists.
