Can you tell us more about the protest and the conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia? I don't really understand why these two apparently Islamic states hate each others.
I also would like to have your views concerning the extent of the protest, I've seen multiple posts on liberal leaning website like reddit where Iranians talks about a huge repression saying the rebellion is massive and people wants the mollah to step down as people beg for democracy.
I mean, when we hear democracy that's mostly about the liberal way of life and that's it, there is not so much democracy in the west either.
In case you don't know, women in the west cut their hair in support of the protests.
Women in Iran and all over the world have been burning headscarves, shouting “Women, life, freedom” and some have also cut or shaved their hair in public. Here's why.

The first thing you should know is that the Islam of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar and Turkey are different
Most Iranians are Shiites
Saudis are Sunni Wahhabis
They do not accept Shiites as Muslims
The Islamic world has three sides of power
Shiism/Iran and resistance (part of Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen)
Muslim Brotherhood/Turkey, Pakistan, Qatar
Wahhabism/ saudi Arabia
I will not go into details and I will give a general explanation.
Before the Iranian Islamic Revolution, relations were not good because iran was close to israel
But it got worse after the revolution
Saudi Arabia felt threatened as a kingdom
The Islamic revolution of Iran took place when the monarchy was removed and the people were given the right to vote, even the constitution was voted on.The revolution in the region affects other countries like the Arab Spring.
So, Saudi Arabia helped Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war to destroy this ideology.
Later, due to issues such as changing the name of the Persian Gulf, oil
Bahrain, ISIS in Syria, Death of Iranians in Hajj 2015
and many other problems continued.
