I really encourage everyone to try and put their prejudices aside and read about the various cultures from different authors and perspectives.

Well, to be slapped upside the head and labeled prejudiced isn't what I expected.

I'm a product of my experiences; this thread helps in expanding those experiences. It was why I asked.

You won't ever catch me saying that westerners understand middle easterners; nor the other way around. There are thousands of years that have gone into building each culture.

Your example of Iran reads well. I wonder though, currently, aren't they experiencing their own inner turmoil ? I seem to have read quite a bit about the younger Iranians standing up to the "older" religious leaders.

Iran has no issues with Kurds in Iraq or other neighboring middle eastern states ?
