My question is not to you specifically, but to history-aware users of HN. How much of cultural sense came there from Islam and how much from the original culture before so-called Islamic revolutions, which happened almost yesterday? Why do we attribute the culture to specific religion, which wasn’t even at the core of specific nation until some time?

I know that counter-attitudes are strong, but simply image-googling “xyz before islamic revolution” shows undeniable contrast. How to resolve?
