We witness a fascinating ritual in which holy men, or Dervishes, dance themselves into a trance.

  • ALL DERVISH AND SHEHO ISS MORE LIKE A SHEJTAN !!!!!!!! E UZUBILAHI MINE SHEJTANE RAHIM BISMILAHI RAHMANE RAHIM !!!!!!!

  • Fakirism is totally un-Islamic. What these simple folk do is completely disaprooved by main stream Islam. If you are a Real Muslim you do not harm yourself with knives or whips(fakir) or hit or bled yourself(Shia Matam) for any reason for so ever. (Shia Muslim Imams never slap or lacerate their bodies because the religion forbids them of doing so and it is "beneath them"-attitude-, they leave those acts to the simple mindless folk).

  • What this racist British is saying is utterky wrong. ''Lock the women inside homes''? Muslims do not do that. I am a proud Parsi and even I think this is wrong.

  • @Assyrianmaster iranian does not equal persian. persians are a distinct ethnic group within iran, like the kurds, turks and arabs. the shah was trying to make everyone be persian, thats why the minorities in iran were all for the revolution.

  • Three hours dancing =_=

  • they are called Parsis and Irani s in india.an successful and peaceful minority in this country.

  • Kurdish women always enjoyed more freedom than their Muslim counterparts? While the first part of the statement is true, what does the speaker think Kurds are? Iranian Kurds are 96% Sunni muslims.

  • I love Iranian women ,i would like to marry one ,

  • hilarious how the Iranian man says god said Islam is the only religion, or something like that. EVERY religion claims it is the only correct one. Why religion is so destructive.

  • This is a stupidity... a shame for you... you betrayed the first and the last religion - Islam, and you turned on a wrong way...
