What is his culture?It has nothing to west , but people like you want to be completely be like western .... you can't completely become western unless you abandon your own culture .... this simple fact that your kind always fail to mention in your emotional speeches ...
you seek two different and opposite thing ....
Western culture is based on Hellenism and Iranian culture has root in Achamenid , Madian , Babelian and Middleeastern ancient kingodom and empire .... these two culture are like night and day , you can't have both in same time ...
for example , you lot always talk about "Hijab is bad " but in fact 1000 years before Islam , Iranian woman had Hijab and you can't even find a woman pic it Takhte Jamshid .... in same time , nudity was common among western ...
Iranian culture is more than Nowrouz , or CharshanbehSouri or some celeberation , its about way of thinking and seeing the world , .... you guys want to accept western ideas completly and when you accept them , your way of thinking will change ( in your case , your way of thinking is already changed ) and you see the world as a western not as an Iranian even if you born in Iran , talk persian and call yourself an Iranian ...
Secondly you talk as if the greco-roman culture was all bad. Hellenism and greco-roman culture has left many positive traces in this world.
Even the sassanids who revived Iran and who were in constant battle against Romans, invited and gave refuge to Greek philosophers to serve the Intellectual center of Iran during that time, Academy of Gondishapur. So we never rejected the good influence from west or east.
What you're writing is very childish, simplistic view which is disproven in history (even during sassanids) and disproven in todays world as globalism has exchanged aspects of different cultures (both positive and negative). You try to view pre-islamic history of Iran through an islamic prism.
About the "hijab" part, different Iranian peoples (eastern and western) had different clothes, Iranians had caps, cadors, but there were also for example eastern Iranian women who had dresses with neck opening, sleeveless dress. There are some paintings of women during sassanid era:
We see women musicians during sassanid era while in islam music is haram.
Achaemenid noble women
These women do show some hair, maybe the function of headdress differed in those time from the function of hijab nowadays. There are even some nude art works from sassanian era (which maybe were remnant of hellenic influence, I'm not sure, but if they were extreme strict about hijab they would not produce such art works I think)
