Abstract

Religion has played a vital role in the development of civilization across all corners of the globe, and today is no exception. The reality is that much of the most notable events throughout the world's history have been influenced in a significant way by religion of one kind or another. The influence of religion in society is especially relevant in contemporary iran where the country has long been ruled not through the principles of a liberal democracy as is seen in the West, but through the tenets of Islam. The leaders of this country have sought to control their population from a divine standpoint, much to the dismay of the worldwide community who charge that this religious approach to governance constitutes oppression on a grand scheme. The recent presidential election that took place in iran on June 12, 2009 is very interesting because it represented a test of the future direction of the country.

The incumbent, hard-line leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who had ruled according to strict Islamic principles faced off against a few other candidates, including reformist candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi who represented a change for the nation, one that would be more liberal and less influenced by the traditional and strict teachings of Islam. The election had an incredibly high turnout, and the alleged results came in quickly. The incumbent Ahmadinejad was declared the winner by a very large majority.
