He was influenced by F. Fanon
"They have created a people who do not know their own culture, but still are
ready to despise it.
They know nothing about Islam but say bad things about it.
They cannot understand a simple poem but criticize it with poorly chosen words.
They do not understand their history but are ready to condemn it.
On the other hand, without reservation they admire all that is imported from
Europe.
Consequently, a being was created who,
first became alienated from his religion, culture, history and background,
and then came to despise them. "
Ali Shariati
Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Thinker/Philosopher
