A young girl makes a victory sign in front of the U.S. Embassy in Iran in December 1979. This was during the time that hostages were being held in the embassy, shortly after Iran became an Islamic republic. U.S.News & World Report quotes an expert in the article "Islam in Ferment": "In the Islamic world at this moment, there is a feeling that God has decided that it's now time for Moslems to have a share of domination in the world. They can no longer submit to being dominated or ruled or even influenced by others."
