Well, apart from the fact that Iranians are not Arabs, anecdote is a dangerous way to judge. Think of some of the TV clips you saw last night and consider whether you would be happy for your culture to be judged by those.

>>Name for me the absolute best (in your judgement) example of an Islamic state. Let's look at the cold, hard facts for a little bit here.<<

I would be tempted to suggest United Arab Emirates- but as I say, I'm not the expert...

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
