The Recent Events Occurring in Iran-
It all began with the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. While Ahmadinejad may have limited control within the Iranian government, foreign officials take his statements more seriously. In September 2005, he delivered a fervent anti-American speech at a U.N. summit in New York. Iran as become chaotic over the past few months. The previous Nation of Islam and the recent events that have occurred there are have been caused by beliefs that have existed for hundreds of years in their culture. Many citizens have taken to the streets with riots and the SWAT has had to jump in many times. Since their government is a dictatorship, when they get involved the problems often get worse. If they could get over slight differences in their culture the people would be able to live happier, safer lives, however they hold true to what they were brought up to believe since the were young.



The Nation of Islam-
Islam started as a peaceful religion. Many became untied by the religion and their culture went through a time of peace. Today little difference has torn it apart and many don’t see a truce coming. Many riots and violent movements have been caused by the extremists who won’t accept anything else but then what they believe in. This is a problem that so far has not had much of a solution to it. These individuals must quickly stop fighting and try to solve their differences among them. www.president.ir. www.africawithin.com www.pbs.org www.npr.org
