1 every country in the world has its own culture

2 not everyone in the world likes or even appreciates American culture to a greater or lesser degree. some do and some don’t.

3 because the west (especially America) has a relatively huge economy Iran fears being swamped.with for example things like Internet porn, western style TV, western cinema, cigarette and drug addiction and a million other things like that
3 Barbie (western toy) was used as an example of this as in Islamic (Muslim) culture women are extremely sexually modest compared to the west. and they would see Barbie as corrupting their young children.

I live in England and i for instance happen to despise McDonald’s, Edit ..think its a cynical con and cant see the point of anyone eating there Edit..as i have been to America and tasted a genuine, real and ‘proper’ burger.

"Inciting hatred for non-muslims and non-muslim culture is an essential part of Islam."

one could argue that inciting hatred for muslims and muslim culture is an essential part of America. the real question here is why do you care if people in the middle east play with Barbies?

I think that Muslims fear the rising economic power of the West (specifically America) because it would threaten not only their culture, but also their religion… and the only way to stop the possible monster that America would become is to destroy it before it evolves… but that’s just their point of view…

The real question is: "Why do we care what Iran thinks when we could obliterate them with the press of a button?"

They don't want their girls corrupted into believing it is OK to go around looking like a prostitute.
