I was born as a moslem in Iran but have spent most of my life here in united states.I dont practice religion on a daily basis but believe in god and respect other people religious beliefs. I dont enter in religious arguments.
I have a baisc comment/question .
Why are we calling Iran The Islamic Republic of Iran? I wish we could pose this question to the people of Iran under united nation supervision and see how many people prefer the name “IRAN” rtaher than….. Some of you may say I dont want to be bugged down on this question because I believe our country has other major problems than just problem with a name.
This name change is Symbolic. It seprates the religon and state and the more progress and less oppression will/h as to start from there. Islam is not the probelm but people that are mis using it are. Just like a Gun and the famous saying. People kill people not guns.
We should respect other people’s religion even the religion of non-religion. Dont tell me my country is ISLAMIC. You want to be moslem go practice it at home. Go read history books and learn from your ancestors whom they used to gather in Baghdad and learned from each other and other religions in peace while most of the europeans
were living in dark ages under the “christian republic”.
lets see if the authorities in Iran dare to pose the question to the people for the name change!
