answer: Palestinian
context: Title: Religion in Iran
  Passage: According to the CIA World Factbook, around 90–95% of Iranians associate themselves with the Shia branch of Islam, the official state religion, and about 5–10% with the Sunni and Sufi branches of Islam.  The remaining 0.6% associate themselves with non-Islamic religious minorities, including Bahá'ís, Mandeans, Yarsanis, Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians.  The latter three minority religions are officially recognized and protected, and have reserved seats in the Iran parliament.  Zoroastrianism was once the majority religion, though today Zoroastrians number only in the tens of thousands.  Iran is home to the second largest Jewish community in the Muslim World and the Middle East.  Christianity, the largest non-Muslim minority religion, has the largest annual growth rate of all religions.  Bahá'í Faith, Iran's second largest non-Muslim religious minority, is not officially recognized, and has been persecuted during its existence in Iran.
  Title: Barry A. Vann
  Passage: Barry Aron Vann (born 1960) is an author, speaker and Chair of the Institute for Leadership Studies and professor of geography at University of the Cumberlands.  A prolific writer, Vann has published on a wide range of geographic topics.  He is most noted for his work in environmental perceptions and religious geography, in particular themes in which religious beliefs are associated with forming environmental perceptions and politicized regions such as Northern Ireland and the American Bible Belt.  Vann's work along the interface between religion and geography stresses the role of faith leaders in shaping the behaviors of others who in turn impact the cultural landscape.  An excellent description of how Vann conjoins geotheology and leadership, or the lack thereof, is expressed by Andrew Nicholls in The Journal of British Studies: “Vann acknowledges that the early Stuart policy of plantation facilitated the emigration of Scots to Ireland, and for those who feared and loathed the religious policies of the regime, early seventeenth century Ulster [nine northern counties in Ireland] could stand as a land of refuge.  But only for some.  Scotland featured numerous socioeconomic challenges, and for some dissenters, rising rents, unproductive lands, and failed crops were evidence of punishment from an angry God.  Therefore, migration became an opportunity to atone for one’s sins as well, although individuals leaving Scotland owing to poverty could expect little sympathy from their religious leaders.”  His book "Puritan Islam: The Geoexpansion of the Muslim World" was chosen as a Top 25 Outstanding Academic Title for 2012 by "Choice", a division of the American Library Association (ALA).  A review in the April 2012 issue of "Choice" referred to "Puritan Islam" as "perhaps the best geographical text produced on this subject since 2000" and of "utmost significance in finally taking the topic away from the emotional to where it needs to be--rational and explanatory discussion."  On her show "Spirited Debate", Lauren Green of Fox News called "Puritan Islam" a "fascinating book."

  Title: Islam in Albania
  Passage: Islam in Albania mainly arrived during the Ottoman period when the majority of Albanians over time converted to Islam and in particular two of its denominations: Sunni and Bektashi (considered by some to be Shia).  Following the Albanian National Awakening (Rilindja) tenets and the deemphasizing of religion during the 20th century, the democratic, monarchic later the communist governments followed a systematic dereligionization of the Albanian nation and national culture.  Due to this policy as with all other faiths in the country, Islam underwent radical changes.  Decades of state atheism which ended in 1991 brought a decline in religious practice in all traditions.  The post-communist period and the lifting of legal and other government restrictions on religion allowed Islam to revive through institutions that generated new infrastructure, literature, educational facilities, international transnational links and other social activities.  According to 2011 census, 58.79% of Albania's population adheres to Islam, making it the largest religion in the country.  Due to the communist legacy of religious persecution contemporary Muslim Albanians in Albania are cultural Muslims with religious Muslim practices being minimal for most people.  The remaining population either belongs to Christianity, which is the second largest religion in the country practiced by 24.99% of the population, or is irreligious.
