Allah's Republiek

Summary Jan enters Iran, which differs greatly from Arab countries both on account of different pre-Islamic roots and of being almost entirely Shiite. Theological and cultural components of this major division in Islam are discussed with an ayatollah and laymen in modern(ist) capital Teheran, the holy city Qomm and grand old Isfahan. Khomeini's shadow is still omnipresent. Many openly support the Islamic Republic, others seem scared to vent grieves. Aspects of the proud, warlike Iranian heritage include its own martial arts tradition.
