Over the years, the whites have considered the Iranians, just like other people in this region, as violent and unfriendly. However, just like Americans, Iranians love people, peace and are hospitable –contrary to the perception created by the political class and the media that Iran people are our enemy and toxic. In the documentary on Islamic culture in Iran, Rick Steve's explores and describes the nation as the most surprising and fascinating land he has ever visited. In a nutshell, Iran has a rich heritage and wonderful people.
In Iran, Islam is not only a religion but an identity. Like other countries around this region, more than 90% of this region's inhabitants are Muslims (Mehrdad, 2009). Religion shapes the image and culture of people in this country (Jahanbakhsh, 2001). That is, the social norms derived from Islam are reflected in the everyday lives of the people. For instance, attire in this region is modesty as the Islam culture advocates that women and men should guard their looks and modesty.
Sunni and Shi'i are the major groups...
