All, I can say is that LA is known as Tehran-gelsons because of the many people from Tehran, Iran.
When the Shah was deposed inIran, they took over our embassy for about a year. They are Muslims.

You mean L.A., not LA - Louisiana... I agree about the number of Iranians there. They love the big house, the big cars, BIG FURNITURE in their homes. I worked with an Iranian gal and her home looked like a furniture store - BIG, HEAVY FURNITURE - dining room table that would fit at least a dozen (perhaps more) guests. Heavy, heavy drapes over the windows - garish colors. I left her home the night she said bin laden was the smartest man on earth - that was 2006..I spoke to my husband and told him it was time to leave and we did.
