Re: Religious Tolerance (Shias and Sunnis)
Sunni Muslims banned from holding own Eid prayers in Tehran
Security police block access to houses rented by Sunni minority for worship
Sunni Muslims in Tehran have been banned from congregating at prayers marking the end of Ramadan.
Iran, a Shia country, ordered its Sunni minority not to hold separate prayers in Tehran for Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim festival that brings the month of fasting to an end. They were instead asked to have a Shia imam leading their prayers – something that is against their religious beliefs.
Hundreds of security police were deployed in the capital to prevent Sunni worshippers from entering houses they rent for religious ceremonies.
In recent decades, Iranian authorities have refused Sunnis permission to build their own mosques in Tehran. There is currently no Sunni mosque in the capital, despite there being several churches and synagogues for much smaller Christian and Jewish populations. .
“Tehran’s security police prevented Sunni worshippers from performing Eid prayers in various parts of the capital,” the official website of the Sunni community in Iran said. “They surrounded the houses where Sunnis perform prayers and have prevented worshippers from going inside.”

Every country have its own constitutional law and minorities in that country one way or another have to follow those laws. For example: In Bucharest there is only 0.03% Muslims and their kidz are forced to study religious book of their. Moreover the kidz aged 7+ hates muslims b’coz they think they all terrorist.
Simple is that one who wants their must follow their law.
