@My rejoinder to Aimen Dean’s percipient points: In what world is it normal to set out for #Hajj, a ‘pillar’ of #Islam, and a lifetime’s pilgrimage journey, only to end up going on the rampage by rioting and stampeding to death fellow #Muslims? Hajj riots, 1987, courtesy #Khomeini’s #Iran, of course. How many remember this? This non-Muslim does, now a British Iranian Studies’ scholar, then as a school boy in neighbouring #Bahrain. So that’s #IranianHistory. @FormulaRauda @AQ_Almenhali @amjadt25 @saif_aldareei @Saeed_Hajeri @_A_khalifa @sultanwho @Sajwani
