| #2 Seems to me like we got mostly dissidents, expats and asylum seekers from Iran. I think the environment there is so much more condusive to Islamists that most of them stayed. Sure there are a few asswads running around here, and I may be greviously mistaken, but every Iranian Ive ever met was very secular and modern in their thinking. In fact I can't ever remember meeting an Iranian that even mentioned religion. |
