1. This city is the Shiite religious center of Iran.
2. In Persian, the pronoun u can be male or female.
3. The shahs of the Safavid Dynasty (1501-1722) were the first Iranian rulers to make Shiism the country's official religion.
4. Literally, the Shiism of Ali. Ali was Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, as well as the fourth caliph (656-661 C.E.). The notion of returning to an original, supposedly uncorrupted Shiism, in which martyrdom was the supreme virtue, was developed by the lay Muslim theologian Ali Shariati. Shariati, who died in 1977 after what many Iranians assumed at the time was foul play from the government, had received a doctorate in philology from the Sorbonne. His writings had a dramatic impact on a whole generation of Iranian activists. At the time of the revolution, his picture was carried alongside that of Khomeini in the demonstrations.
5. During the years 1514-1534, in the aftermath of Martin Luther's break with Rome, Germany experienced a series of radical peasant revolts, which are the subject of Frederick Engels's Peasant Wars in Germany (1852).
