Their collective goal is to counter the many existing cultural and political clich s about Iran. Some of the pieces concern feminism, sexuality, or eroticism under the Islamic Republic; others are unorthodox political testimonies or about race and religion. Almost all these contributors have broken artistic and cultural taboos in their work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJournalist Reza Aslan, author of \u003ci\u003eNo God But God, \u003c\/i\u003e explains why Iran is not a theocracy but, rather, a mullahcracy.
