darkinsky said:not meant to interfere in iranian matters, its their own life, but should i ask, we in pakistan, bangladesh turkey etc etc gave up all our non muslim celebrations etc but its only 'islamic republic of iran' who celebrates this? isnt it hypocrisy?? and forgive me if some iranian feels offense
No you haven't. For example you still don't dress the same way Prophet Muhammad sAwa did. why?
It's simply because they are not against Islam.
And, there is nothing in Quran and Sunnah that against celebrating new year, is there?
