IRAN: No longer an Islamic nation

[Oghuz]

Agreed, however, some people here seem to think Islam=same culture, which is definitely not true at all. Iranians are hundreds time closer to a christian armenian than to a Saudi arab for example.

Let alone and Iranic or Turkic Iranian, A Syrian or Lebanese Arab would not be very close with his Arabi Habibi brother from Saudi Arabia. Some people are just ignorant.

Nah I don't believe that not one bit, we underestimate the overlap between levantines and guif Arabs. They are not worlds apart, to me there is a lot of similarities between them.

You will call them the same thing as the ignorant comment by another user?

They are not the same, I never said they are, however people downplay their similarities.

Azeri and Kurdish languages are still strong in strongholds but if state-enforced Persian education policies continue, they will slowly die. IRI unfortunately has continued the Shahi cultural assimilation policies which is ironic because entire elite of IRI is mostly Azeri Turk including the supreme leader himself (bayat), chief of entire military (Afshar). What benefit they are seeing in Persianization is hard to understand.

Probably unification of all people under one language and culture

Which is what globalists and universalists of various stripes want for the world as a whole (namely, US English and its associated culture). To me, a global language and culture is oppressive and unnatural, and it is also oppressive and unnatural to seek to eliminate languages and cultures within a country too.

Yeah, excuse me if I dont really believe that. They`ve worshipped that evil demon Allah for way to long with zeal, going as far as randomly killing women simply for not wearing their burkas right. So why the sudden change of heart?
There`s a HUGE difference between proclaiming to be Christian and actually acting Christian.

I guess for you christian just means slave and it makes sense. Brainwashed moralist slaves switching manmade belief to another manmade belief that aligns more with the modern slave system and is less militant.

are there Iranians that are extremely religious and would like an even more traditional society for Iran? does the Afghan Taliban have supporters in Iran, even if quiet ones?

there are some Christian Orthodox people that have sympathy for the traditionalism of the Muslims and would prefer a state ran by the Church rather than the politicians, also because they are extremely disappointed by the corruption and the politics on here over the last 3 decades. even more, there are some Atheists that are personally Atheistic but they would also favour a more traditional society and they would prefer the Church to run the country because they agree more to the tenets of Christian Orthodoxy than to Western culture, so they stay Atheistic personally but would be alright to pose as Orthodox (they technically are Orthodox anyway) in public, for what they consider is the best for the society/community. does this echo the allegiance of some Iranians to Islamic state? I imagine the youth is anyway rather Western-oriented, right?

Taliban might have some support from sunnis. But only a tiny minority of the sunnis even.

If this isnt a made up lie, taliban have 3 iranian citizens as security officials in 3 provinces, Nimroz, Farah and herat.

But babak is better suited to answer your question.

Bro no offence you don't even speak Pashto nor Dari, you are from Quetta Pakistan so I dont think you are in any position to speak about political issues especially when it's so easy to get caught up in false narratives. You never check your sources as you always seem to spew recycled nonsense in this forum ( not only you, everyone is guilty of this). The Taliban have major support from pretty much all ethnic groups, especially now. The only ones who seem to be against this are liberal /commie Afghans in the west who enjoyed watching certain pop figures shake their ass on tv, whilst people were dying of hunger on the streets. Nah bro, don't get me started on this shit.
