Your classmates were not the recepients of a western education until they came to the west to study. They've been taught for the first 18 years of their lives to hate, surprise surprise that they didn't change their minds as soon as they got to the states. Your persian friend, however, was raised with a western education, is dating a catholic girl, and is proving my point. Thanks.

Um no, he was raised under Khomeini, thats not being raised western. He told me some fun stories about that, and about when Khomeini died and he didn't hear about it and came to school wearing a red shirt (instead of black). He was beat up on the streets for it. His family was quite western to start with, as are/were a great many Iranians. Anyways if you think somehow you will teach these kids from birth 'western ways' without kidnapping them from their parents at gunpoint you are dreaming. I'm sorry but I don't think you really have a clue here other then what sounds good on paper.
