Sunni Muslims of Iran sentenced to death

[Roasted Cashew]

I had assumed that Sunnis were in the minority.

They are. Out of the 98% Muslims: Iran is 89% Shia and 9% Sunni.

No, I didn't read all. :embarrass
I haven't had much time recently and hadn't realised how much the thread had moved on since I asked for a translation, so I tried to catch up in a hurry.
I read the translations which nasirali and Woodrow kindly provided, but haven't read all other posts in detail.

Oh, now I am confused ...
That sounds a significant minority. So are they or are they not?? :?

 

[جوري]

Also Sunnis aren't a minority even if they're in Iran which was once completely sunni

what part of what I'd written previous was ambiguous?

best,

So Sunnis ARE in the minority in Iran? Why didn't you say so?! ;D

You meant it in the sense that "Sunnis aren't a minority [globally], even if they ARE [in the minority] in Iran, which was once completely sunni." (Hence - and I assume again - the numbers have dwindled considerably over time. So was my original assumption (another one!) correct that many have left Iran to start a new life elsewhere?)

I'm clearly not in the frame of mind to read your sentences with care and concentration. PLUS it's time to get the dinner on. Laters. :thankyou:

NO! Your original assumption is wrong- they were killed or force converted read about the rise of the Safavid if you're interested in what happened historically!

Will do. Thank you.

they allege that they're calling for a revolt against the current regime

Given the current state of the world, I don't see that a charge of insurrection could dealt with any differently to stop it before it got going like it did in Libya and Syria. I remember a few years ago hearing something about a 'Green Revolution' in Iran that was squashed early.

That's how they deal with things through out the ages unfortunately--although they're very soft spoken and great orators .. if one doesn't know what's festering beneath one might mistake them for true warriors!

You call documented facts hate? 'Hate' even if it were is better than the mercenaries killing children in Syria or other places - I don't see the roasted kid on the Connecticut thread diverting the topic to those facts but it does showcase his perpetual hypocrisy.
This is a Sunni forum btw perhaps you're wrongly situated and expect the Safavid agenda to slide by like slime here too!

Best,

There seems to be a lot of arguing going on, and this makes it very difficult to follow any discussion that is taking place. I will close the thread here.
