Reading this article by Majid Mohammadi at Gooya ,I recalled scenes so many of religous discremination which I had witnessed personally :The oldest thing I remember is two teenage sisters,my baha'i friends who were quite shocked,seeing the regim's pasadars arresting their parents in early 60s( the father was later on assassinated after long term serious torturs);A Jew family in our neighborhood who were treated so badly that they decided to move out and later on they left(almost escaped from) the country! My cousin who was such a talented boy but had no right to go to university only because he was baha'i ;the way they had treated Koroush my zoroastrian freind at military service only because he was not a muslim,or his wedding party in Firouz Bahram Zoroastrian Center which ended right at midnight because they were not allowed continue the celebration after twelve!and the funniest was the way the university guard used to behave me every time she checked my student's ID only because she taught I was christian since my first name sounded strange and unfamiliar while she did not even bother to ask what it exactly was!!The foreign guests we regularly had at work whose dishes and stuff they had used was almost sterilized each time only because they were not muslim and therefore supposedly considered unclean and impure !!!....

I can count hundreds of them,so can you ....
