- Can these challenges and issues be denied or hidden under the cover of the necessity of “preserving Islam” or “preserving territorial integrity”?
- Will the different ethnicities of Iran’s diverse society merge into the Islamic Ummah or the Iranian nation in order to “preserve Islam” or “preserve the territorial integrity of Iran”?
- What can we learn from the process of Iran’s two revolutions, being the Constitutional Revolution of 1905 and the 979 revolution, and how the two powers of the sultanate and the provincial government faced these challenges?
- What can we learn from global experiences regarding ethnic challenges and issues?
- How do the different ethnicities of Iranian society unite, preserve a peaceful social life, and uphold the territorial integrity of their homeland?
