I am not a fan of States that are run by a dominant relgion. That is why I pray the evangelicals never really get total power in the US. There are some countries that are run by the clergy. I am inclinded to look less favorably on those countries, especially if they espouse hatred for the relgion I have chosen. |

On an unrelated note, how are things in Iran lately? I hear you guys just threw some more Baha'i folks in prison. |

However ,since 1906 iran constitution has guaranteed four parliment seats for all recognized groups ,but they were considered "Iranian habitants",not "Iranian. Under islamic republic , they are respected as Iranians, have received full citizenship right and benefit and can have their representatives in the parliment.I bet the US muslims would love to have a muslim congress wo/man. Baha'i folks case is mostly politics related ,not religion related ,And every one will be treated the same under the law .so it makes no difference you are shia ,or jew or Baha'i ..they would put you in jail ,if proved culpable. |

I don't think I understand what you mean about how it works in Iran.
