There is no understanding in governments any more about how the deeply religious mind works. For a believer nothing happens that god doesn’t want. Therefore if things happen that go agaisnt the thrust of their religious tenets the wholly natural conclusion is they are at fault – they have not been dutiful enough to the teachings. Christians use to whip themselves in penance and to make sure they are dutiful Hindus make painful promises like not sitting down for years. It looks a little kike madness to the non-religious,
Muslims become even more rigorous in their adherence to what they see as their laws. That is what is about to happen in Iran.
