Iran is the rule, definitely not the exception.
Sorry but population wise and area wise Iran an exception when compared to all the other 'Islamic' countries and populations around the globe...

I'm sure you (and Georgie) would love to believe that Iran is representative of all Islamic countries, but it isn't by a long shot - it's representative of the fundamentalist impact on Shi'a Islam that saw the Ulema class deposed in favour of a "common man" approach to understanding the Qu'ran...
