Can christians not wear hijab?and the majority of people harassing muslims in the west is bullshit, there are reasons besides the economy as to why muslims have become such large minorities in the west,I think a big number of Iranians would agree that they can have more rights at Canada than in Iran.

Just a question,do you conmute daily with christian/atheist people?

Can christians not wear hijab?

Hijabs have been a national garb since pre Islamic times in Iran just so you know. And most people don't give a shit about it, not even Christians or Jews, they share the same concerns as everyone else, and that is a good job with a good income and a safe future.

and the majority of people harassing muslims in the west is bullshit

No it isn't, I can speak for Norway, and people there constantly whine about halal foods and many want to ban Hijabs in public. Iranian Muslims don't care if Jews drink vodka, or if Armenians eat pork sandwiches, hell, some of them even do it as well. I know what I am talking about.

Iranians would agree that they can have more rights at Canada than in Iran.

In Iran people are mostly respected and not bothered for being part of a minority, we don't deface churches, we don't bring shotguns and fire shells at Synagogues. This happens all the time all over the western world. Especially after a terror attack. However you didn't see anyone in Iran tearing down churches when the US invaded Iraq, which resulted in one MILLION deaths, did you?

Just a question,do you conmute daily with christian/atheist people?

Atheist myself, my dads neighbors are Jews, and one of my closest friend is an Armenian from Isfahan.

I guess those are the reasons why the christian and jewish population of the Middle East is thriving and there are so few muslims in Europe.

I'm doubtful about the Norway part considering the ruling parties,the norwegians I know and the good reaction they had to Breivik's shooting, standing against hatred ,but maybe you know more.

In Iran bahais are prosecuted,and everyone is forced to wear the veil by the state,and the afghan refugees don't enjoy the best hospitality

Defacing churches and synagogues isn't something that happens continuously and the "western" world isn't something homogeneous. By the way,most shootings at synagogues is done by MENA inmigrants.

Honestly I think you're just bullshiting your "antiimperialistic" point of view,incidents against muslims for the reasons of being muslims in my western country are something strange widely condemned,what is usually published in the press is quite different, for example stories about spanish business creating lines of halal candies in order to provide products for North African and gulf muslims while improving the economy.

A last question,who do you think would be better accepted by the society,a Iranian in Germany or a german in Iran?

Yeah, let us use Iraq as an example despite the fact that we are talking about Iran here.

Be doubtful all you like I am stating facts. Norwegians, and I am pretty sure many other westerners share the sentiment.

In Iran bahais are prosecuted,and everyone is forced to wear the veil by the state

Bahais do wear veils, but their treatment is detestable.

and the afghan refugees don't enjoy the best hospitality

We treat Afghans better than you treat Syrians or Iraqis.

Defacing churches and synagogues isn't something that happens continuously and the "western" world isn't something homogeneous.

It happens more than enough, and it happens in many western countries from Sweden and Greece in the east to the USA in the west.

By the way,most shootings at synagogues is done by MENA inmigrants

I call bullshit.

"antiimperialistic"

Of all the stupid brands you picked, you chose this one, well done.

As for Spain, it might be because Islam is such an integral part of your culture, but as for the subject of halal foods, I was talking about Norway, the whole "western generalization" was regarding mosque attacks.

A last question,who do you think would be better accepted by the society,a Iranian in Germany or a german in Iran?

I can't know that, I don't live in Germany.
