Iranian media also want to bring in religion in Tunisia analysis

Nir sent me this (I cite with his permission): "so Press TV from iran always wants me on. they just called me here in baghdad and asked me to go on to talk about tunisia. i said i wasnt an expert about it and she said they wanted me to talk about the role of religion in the uprising. i said 'what role of religion?' she explained that they were rebelling because women were not allowed to wear headscarves and religious expression was repressed. i said that religion had almost no role and it was a secular uprising, but what a strange interpretation."
