@ravage

do you think mooli bibi that you could have been presented a more sanitized view, given that you were a foreign student and non-representative of a typical resident?

possibly, but then we werent all foreigners, infact we were a minority amongst the citizens. so it could have been a realistic repr. for all we know.

also, it is quite possible that there is more discrimination in tehran vs other cities such as Qum. Qum is the spiritual center whereas tehran is the political center, and political decisions such as discrimination against sunnies (which has no religious basis) is usually done much more strictly in capitals.

Yep, thats what ive been thinking, its most likley a political/ethnic issue rather than purely sectarian or religious. But it shouldnt be happening…

Just as there are no shia centers in the seat of power in KSA (Riyadh) vs the east of the country such as dahran. Also it is not a coincidence that there is a small shia population in Riyadh. On the other hand there have been unity conferences in Saudia and I am such while the shia delegates were there they probably werent beaten up or anything

I dont mean hostile as in a physical beat up :halo: but more so as the general atmosphere.
