    No such thing exists.

    I think most Iranians remember how they were converted by force in the first place. All Iranians I've met are either atheists or converted to Christianity.

    The last few decades of oppressive sharia-ruled Iran reminded them what Islam is all about. Once the Ayatollah regime falls, Islam will die in Iran.

    Interestingly enough, and I understand it's because these sects actively recruit and the communities behind them are crazy religious, most Iranians I know joined the Jehova's witnesses or the mormons.

    You are right. I never really met a religious Iranian to be honest. Most are irreligious in England and the UK.

    I know one Persian Mormon woman. She is quite nice.

    That's really sad, as neither of those groups can truly be considered as Christian.

    No. The Persians were Sunnis back then. They became Shi3as during the Safavid period of Iran. The Arabization of the Levant and North Africa started by non-Arabic mulsims like the Mamlukis in the 13th century than in the 7th century.

    The main difference between them is that Sunnis take the terror book Quran in every literal sense. The quran and the hadiths tell the story of how the dirty terrorist Mohammed was able to spread Islam by the sword: by killing and subjugating and converting by force millions of native Christians, Jews and pagans.

    In that sense, Sunnis feel it's their duty to do the same as Mohammed and his army of terrorists: spread Islam by the sword. Hence basically all Islamic terror groups are Sunni who try to recreate the early Satanic/Islamic conquests: ISIS, al-qaeda, Al-Nusra, taliban, Hamas etc. All Sunnis are wahabs.

    Shias like to think of themselves as the peaceful and cool, true Muslims. In order to cope with the violence of the quaran, they say you can't take things out of context and that the same rules of the early conquests don't apply today, that Mohammed only resorted to violence because he was threatened etc. Don't get me wrong, they still worship the same satanic Muslim 'god' and have the same satanic expansionist ambitions of their version of Islam dominating the world. They just don't really believe in converting people by force, but rather subjugating them. Usually they are the ones that when leave Islam, they leave it for good. They make up most of the ex-Muslims.

    To summarize everything, non-Muslims in Sunni lands are barely consider humans, just soulless infidels, whereas non-Muslims in Shia lands are treated as third class citizens (like in Iran) without much rights but are not usually physically attacked and abused like in Sunni lands.

    I am in full agreement.

    The double side of this is of course that if your church is looking to find new converts they can always try and approach fresh Iranian asylum seekers in the UK. They'll jump at the chance.

    Actually there are not that many coming from Iran over here. I've heard there is a Christian revival going on among the underground church in Iran.
