Established in Hamburg , in northern Germany , in the late 1950's by a group of Iranian emigrants and business people it rapidly developed into one of the leading Shia centres in the Western world. Many leading Iranian theologians and politicians (including Ayatollah Beheshti and Mohammad Khatami ) have spent time (often years) here, have encountered and studied Western sciences and philosophy and contributed to the Western understanding of Shia Islam. During the 1970's the centre has played a significant role in bringing about the political rising of Iranian students in the West against the Shah and ultimately contributed to the Iranian Revolution . Today the centre continues to play a role in furthering mutual understanding of Iranian Shia and the Western World. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
