Aleem Yarmohammadi (MNA from Zahedan) and Dr. Zolfiqar-Talab (advisor to the special assistant of the president in the affairs of ethnic and religious communities) in Hashemi prayer-house of Tehran.<br \/>\nIt is noteworthy that more than one million Sunnis live in Tehran and despite continuous and permanent demands for building own mosques in the metropolis of Tehran, they are not allowed to build own mosque. Sunnis mainly offer Friday and Eid prayers in rental houses and mostly they face obstacles to approach the houses, too.<br \/>\nThe issue of Sunnis\u2019 mosque in Tehran has been a main demand of the Sunni leaders and activists with no clear answer from the officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tehran \u2013 SunniOnline: Some prayer-houses of the Sunni community in Tehran were besieged by security personnel and worshipers could not offer Eid prayers on Wednesday 22 Aug. 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9201,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-c58-ahl-al-sunna-in-iran"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
