We have recently hired a bunch of people on my shift one is a guy from Iran who I've been talking to. We have been discussing Muslim relations with the west and the dude is very calm speaking about it. He finally told me that while in Iran he converted to Christianity. Word got out and he had to run. He was trying to get to turkey or the Turkish embassy I'm not sure what he said do to his accent but he was caught by the Iranian police put on trial for converting to Christianity sentenced to being whipped 150 times with some kind of metal wire whip and put in jail for three months. He told me many converts are killed, not just Christian converts but anyone who leaves Islam. I guess his brother was a prominent professor so he was able to get out but now his whole family is here in the us. He told me the shahs son lives here in the us (I didn't know) and there is a move in Iran for regime change and he, the shahs son is who they want back. I found this a very fascinating story I'm looking further to nurture my relationship with my new buddy puya
