Persecution of Sunnis in Iran !!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the census of 1970, Shias make up 62% of the population of Iran, while the Sunnis, 36%. During the reign of the Safavids who were responsible for turning Iran into a Shiite state, the Sunnis were 65% of the population. However, constant persecution by the Shia authorities reduced their number to 36%. If the current regime continues its repressive measures, the number will fall even further.

Most of the 20 million Sunnis living in Iran are completely marginalised and live in deplorable conditions. They are deprived of' their basic rights in their own country. This is not a case of mere tension between the two communities but rather a hard-line repressive policy adopted by the oppressive Shia regime against the minority Sunnis which purports to tell them that there is no place for them in Iran.

The harrowing persecution of Sunni Muslims in Iran has continued unabated for decades with the minority of Muslims in the world being blissfully unaware of it. Sunni Muslims are hunted and imprisoned for paltry accusations. The province of Khurasan has witnessed numerous atrocities. When the Sunni Muslims formed political parties, to unite themselves and, campaign for their legal rights, Mufti-zadeh, one of their leaders was arrested. Others were terrorised and forced into hiding. The despotic authorities do not allow the Sunnis to manage their own affairs. Towns, which are 85% Sunni are run by predominantly Shia-controlled committees. The Ministry of Education forcibly changed the curriculum of the Sunni schools, resulting in many students going abroad.

Mosque Razed to Ground

The most ludicrous measures taken by the tyrannical Shia authorities are those which target Sunni mosques. Many mosques like the century old Shaykh Faiz Masjid in the city of Meshhed have been razed to the ground. It is worth noting that Iranian propagandists shed crocodile tears when the Babri Mosque was demolished and when the Rustenburg Masjid was bombed, but their track record at home is much more dismal. There is an undeclared official decree, which says that any area having less than 40% Sunni population will not be granted permission to build a mosque. The Shia have proved much worse than most non-Muslim countries which allow their Muslim minorities to build masÃ¢jid. The media is in full control of Shia authorities and they categorically deny any such persecution.

The Iranian government would never allow persecution of Sunnis. Amhedinijad is a tolerant, understanding, peace loving man who only cares about pure Islam.

The Jewish population of Iran is down to 25,000, from 70,000 in 1979. They are forbidden to teach their liturgical language and some other elements of the Jewish faith. Jewish cemetaries have run out of space, and permission to expand them has not been given.

I understand that the Kurdish population of Iran has also been marginalized.

It's going to be just one big happy ummah over there. Very Happy

I dont know why the west has a sudden dislike of Iran.
Is it becuase they dont like defiance, Iran is one of the few countries free of foriegn domination on this earth.

All i know is that Iran is infinatley a better place for a muslim, than Saudi Arabia.

and Saudi arabia is easily overlooked, for the nightmare it is,because of its Subservience to the west.

It seems that if you are a good boy and do as the west tells you,
then they will overlook what ever faults you have.
