If anyone is interested in a good read - a fictionalized account of the fall of the Shah of Iran and the rise of Khomeni ...based on true events .... you really need to check out "Whirlwind" by James Clavell. This novel provides a good foundation to help understand Muslim culture, and especially Iranian culture.

I've read it three times over the last ten years (I always get something new I missed before!) and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a general idea of some of the attitudes we are facing in Muslim countries as well as in Iran in particular. You may well come away with a different view of Islam.
