I'm not from Iran, but my girlfriend is. She's dating an atheist, drinks beer, eats pork, and doesn't wear a head covering in the US. She has to cover her head in public in Iran, but even then, it is only a scarf. Her mother seems to like me, too. I'll meet her next week.

I don't have exact figures, but Iran is much more moderate than the rest of the Middle East. It was quite secular before the revolution. Now it is more Islamic, but I think there is still that strong secular strain in it.

I am from Iran and I have lived here all of my life. Besides religious disputes, I myself think that "TRUE ISLAM" is not something special. It is actually an encouragement to do the virtue and discouragement to do the vice (in this way it has nothing over other religions despite what clergy men say here) I hope your definition of true Islam is close to this definition.
What comes here is quoted from Eghbal Lahoori, a Muslim researcher who traveled all over the world looking for the reality.
"In Muslim countries there is more Muslims that Islam itself, but in non-Muslim countries there is more Islam than Muslims"
NOTE: the quoted text is translated to English by myself. you may see it in other words.
