A Few Facts About Religious Minorities in Iran

webgardian: "Jewish, Armenian & Asyrian communities have lost more than fifty percent of their members after 1979 revolution. Most of these people left Iran because of discrimination. I remember in 1990's food stores run by religious minorities had to put a paper on their door: This store is run by a religious minority....why is that? Because for many Islamists religious minorities are "Najes" or dirty!!! Christians & Jews lost their own private schools and Islamic government controls all. To get a job first thing is to believe in Islam & Theocracy (Velayate faghi). If you are a Moslem and you are not a believer you can pretend to be a good Moslem but for somebody who belongs to other religion... game is over...or better I say game never starts. Other minorities such as Bahais or Sunnites or Evangelical Protestants or Sufists...get persecuted too."


I might add the Babies and Bahais in Iran get executed.
