Actually I would say Iran is more dangerous, because it probably follows a better idealogy.

I don't no much about the shiite-islam, I am sunni by birth.

Take my words witha grain of salts, I am not an expert, just telling what I know so far.

In islam, between muslims the debate is usually, mind vs script.

The choice of the word mind is probably misleading and hurts muslims.

Usually, to know what to do, you have one of two choices, find a script that tells you what to do, or use ur mind.

By using your mind you rely on logic common sense, and you own personal (potential wrong, evil, misguided or stupid) opinion

Being a sctrict muslims, means, that for all matters for which an authentic script made a choice, you have no choice, dont think about the issue, just follow what the script say.

To be fair, for 90% or even more, the script is brilliant.
Even more so when compared to what existed before Islam

very few points in the scripts can cause problems, yes, the western media exagerate a lot.

Muslim women, wearing veils isnt such a big deal, what wrong in being modest? I'd even suggest that a women walking half naked is like sexual harrassment.

Things get a little silly when few ppl, start to interprete some scripts as to be forbiding listening to music.

But you know, if forbiding music, means we get rid of some of the authoritarian and totalitarian leaders we have, giving up music, would be a little price to pay

I dont want you to think that islam forbids music, this topic is debateable, but to be fair, some muslims, believes so.

Finally, Iran have a script, which with anything in it, that you would consider a flaw, is still a lot better than any communist idealogy.

Another point to add, some ppl really believe, that whats in those script, is what God really want, to giving away their lives, in comparison doesn't seem like a big deal. Manay ppl in wars sacrificed their lives for the american way, those ppl a doing it for God.

The problem is, to really debate a strict muslim, you have to study his script, because to really oppose someones ideas, you have to first know what they are.

Others things to add, hmmmm ....
Following the script, unlike what most ppl may tend to believe, means, that no one control you, because no one can change the script, so technically, strict muslims are more free than u think, they are free from men rule, amongst strict muslim, men dont rule men, God the source of the script, rule, through the script.

The best and only way, i think to oppose this, is that God created logic and common sense, and God rules us throught the logic he created, so another route to God, is through the study of logic, and the rules that he created. So what I think is right, isnt really my opinion, its what God created.

Christian, dont have and I think never had scripts as rigourous and as authentic as the muslims scripts, this is why in christianity when the pope rule its the pope will

In islam, in strict islam, we dont have such a thing

Finally, may God forgive me, if i was ever misleading, or spoke ignorance, my intentions were all good

I think I need to clarify few more points,
first you need to know, I do believe in God, and I do believe Muhamed is his prophet.

Muhamed said, and spoke many things, that validates him as a prophet,
there are few things I like to hold on too, whenever I feel in doubt.

"la illah illa Allah" , There is not God but God, Allah is God in arabic, some westerners interprete it as a name, and no i isnt, its more like an adjective i think.

if it were not for Muhamed I would not have learned that, he taught us that, if you think, about it, if you grew up repeating it, you will love it and respect, one God one creator, for us all.

Islam (remember this is what Muhamed told us) teach us. not to put any barrier between us and God, no priest, no church, no nothing, anyone can speak to God, directly, no stones, no walls, no nothing

And think about it, if there is a God, wouldnt this be the only way ....
And this is what Muhamed told, in a time ppl use to workship statues,and the sun and the moon, and all other objects

Islam teach us, that there is nothing like God ... which is .... just smart

Islam, teach us to use our minded, repeatedly in th Quran, the stories complains about ppl who dont use there minds, to reach God, and follow there .... lust

Islam tell us to pray, and that praying is a must, mandatory, ... this means, that not only God exist, not only God is watching, not only that God is wanting, God is demanding, that we talk to him, ask him for stuff

Islam teach us, that we are not thankfull enough, and think about it, look around, you, God created sex .... this i enjoy, God created love .... God created hate, so that there can be love, God created the internet ... God gave us science, so that we can make our life better

Islam, taught me, how to reach for God in the most respectful ways ....

Just because I got issues with few sentences, I would not .... would never reject the rest of it, for one, maybe the problem is in me, maybe i dont get it,

But when I look around, and see ppl, kneeling for other ppl, or ppl kneeling for stones, i cant help but feeling lucky, and wanting to teach those ppl what I learned, from Muhamed

Dont kneel to stone, ... plus who told you to kneel to those stones, and why do u believe him, whats the origin of this ... ppl should have more pride for their minds

this is part/kinda what i meant by script authenticity, we are almost sure of the source of the scripts in islam, we know exactly who repeated them to who and so on and so force, a strict method was used to validate them
nothing like this i heard exist in any other religion
search for the word "isnad" or "sanad"
look here too [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isnad|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isnad]

so when ppl believe in the muslim script so stricly, its not that they are being strict for the sake of it, but also because, there is strong reasons to believe the script was not modified, and there is strong reasons, to believe Muhamed is the prophet of God

few things in the quran for example, verses that suggest that both the sun and the moon have some sort of path, in which they run

and i searched the net, i knew the moon have an orbit in which it circles, i didnt know about the sun, and it turns out that also the sun orbits around something , this is a very recent discovery aslo verses like these help me when i feel in doubt

this is mainly what i wanted to add,
when i said the script is brilliant, i truely mean it

i am not the best person to teach u about islam. and considering how seriously, as a muslim i am asked to take the script, as in not repeat it in a way that modify its meaning, i really dont want to take such responsibility

so finaly, i suggest if you think of urself as a good person, to read why so many ppl believe Muhamed was for real, and then judge for urself
