- About 89% of Iranians are Shi'a Muslim and 9% are Sunni.
- Mahmoud Ahmajinedad, the dictator of Iran doesn't get along with Israel.
- Zoroastrianism was the original religion of ancient Persia, which is now the modern day Iran, and shares many parallels with Islam but was much rather a peaceful religion. Some claim that Islam and the Quran was really a spin off of Zoroastrianism due to the similarities within the details and further believe that Islam was used to alter and brand Zoroastrianism to then use it as a means to unite Arabs and establish the Islamic empire.
