For those ignorants who may think that the shiia islam is better than the sunni islam, just take a look here at the wiki article and search Persepolis in the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadegh_Khalkhali
"Khalkhali was known for his antipathy towards pre-Islamic Iran. In 1979 he wrote a book "branding king Cyrus the Great a tyrant, a liar, and a homosexual" and called for the destruction of the Cyrus tomb and remains of the two-thousand-year-old Persian palace in Shiraz, Fars Province, the Persepolis. According an interview by Elaine Sciolino of Shiraz-based Ayatollah Majdeddin Mahallati, Khalkhali came to Persepolis with "a band of thugs" and gave an angry speech demanding that "the faithful torch the silk-lined tent city and the grandstand that the Shah had built," but was driven off by stone-throwing local residents"

my family and I personally knew Ayatollah Majedin Mahallati, he was an eloquent and elegeant cleric , very modern thinking and resented the backward rhetoric of such criminals called Khalkhali and the like. I remember He always ridiculed them and reiterated that Shia Islam in not a destructive religion, but that of tolerance, charity and peace.
