Iran Dying From Within?

Spengler has a good column up that perhaps goes against many folks conventional Wisdom. See Sex, drugs and Islam

Now that is just plain interesting. My only question would be, "Why don't we see something similar in Saudi Arabia?" Last I heard, that kingdom is also a theocracy, in fact if not name.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious there.

I was thinking the ssame thing too. It might have to be that in essence Iran is a different culture. You know not Arab but Persian and their whole history
Of course things in the Kingdom might not be going as well as they portray either

This reminded me of a post Cosmos~Liturgy~Sex had up a few years ago about some information found on google trends:

"The top 5 countries that googled the word sex are (1). Pakistan, (2.) Egypt, (3.) Iran (4.) Vietnam, and (5.) Morocco...The number one language for googling the words 'gay sex' is Arabic.'"
