Considering occupied countries are traditionally assimilated (Dictionary: to absorb into the culture or mores of a population or group) with the invader’s cultures and traditions, then perhaps we can make the argument that Iran has been occupied for 1,400 years.

It should not be hard to imagine the many Iranian traditions that are no longer celebrated and the acceptance of many words (e.g. writings on our flag) that are by many considered foreign language could we make this argument that Iran after its invasion approximately 1,400 years ago is still occupied?

Do you consider Iran an occupied country?

• YES: Iran is an occupied country
• NO: Iran is NOT an occupied country

At times it is not bad for all of us to reconsider who we are, what we are, & more importantly why we are who we are!

How much of who we are was dictated to us at birth & we have had no choice over accepting them? Think about your name, your religion, etc. How much choice have you had in who you are today? If the army of Christianity, or any other religion had attacked our country what would we be now?
