Quotes by Arash Azizi (?)

“When Michel Foucault, the celebrated French philosopher, wrote about his admiration for Khomeini and the movement in Iran, an Iranian woman named Atoussa H. called him out in a public letter. ‘Everywhere outside Iran, Islam serves as a cover for feudal or pseudo-revolutionary oppression,’ she wrote. Foucault suggested she failed to approach Islam with even ‘a minimum of intelligence’. Meanwhile his ‘intelligence’ extended to arguing that by ‘Islamic government’ no one possibly meant ‘a political regime in which the clerics would have a role of supervision or control’.”
