Hi folks, thanks for uploading more on the rules and regulations. Just to confirm please, where you have written "Under 22" is this an age restriction? i'm counted out if it is lol :D thanks in advance!

[BahaiNationalCenter]

Because the age restriction was causing some confusion, we have decided to remove that category for the entries

In order to encourage the production of more videos, the National Assembly has decided to extend the deadline for submission for this contest to March 21, 2009.

whatever religion they beleive in, doesnt make any difference because they are still iranian, it doesnt provoke their nationality and they must have the same rights as their fellow iranians in their homeland

[tonadankhamush]

yes, after all they are iranian as well and they have equal rights as other iranians do in their homeland

"bahais just like any other iranians in Iran have the right to be treated equally with respect."

They ARE treated equally. For example, if they changed their religion, the'd be no longer discriminated and could go to university. They can't go to university because they are irrationally stubborn, clinging to their stupid religion.

I am not bahai at all but i believe bahais just like any other iranians in Iran have the right to be treated equally with respect.

They should have the freedom to believe in what they want no matter what any one says
