I have never heard of this policy (of not allowing Sunni’s to build a place of worship)-- if it’s true, then it’s pretty sad and definetley not progressive for muslims and the whole basis of the revolution. For purpose of discussion however, could it not be said that (if in fact this is true) then their reasoning is more valid because they are limiting a sectarian divide within the country? Obviously I am in no position to speculate, but I am just throwing that thought out there as (more or less) devils advocate.

Lastly, I am not trying to defend Iran because I know that Iranians are some of the most racist and arrogant people, especially towards Pakistani’s, but rather trying to understand all sides of the story.

Also, their policies are not nearly as harsh as Wahabi-governed countries like Saudi Arabia or Malaysia, where people are literally denied jobs and propserity because of their belief in Shi’ism.

You are not reading enough state controlled irani media has not reported, I would suggest that you just do a search on this forum and you will find threads that have links to studies about systematic suppression against non shiites, especially sunnis.

yeah it is not as bad as saudi Arabia, but then no one is. but it does not make them good by any stretch of imagination.

You have a ery balanced post so I would think that if you do some reading on it you may change your views.
