It's a nice sentiment, but Iran is a mostly Shiite country. The Sunni cleric is in the same boat if being a minority.

One step at a time. It’s hard to make everyone be nice at the same time. So you get one side to be a little nicer. Then you get the other side to be a little nicer. This way by making several small changes over time. You shed less blood because it feels like their own idea.

> Molavi Abdolhamid, Iran's most prominent Sunni cleric, has repeatedly criticized the Islamic Republic's harsh response to an ongoing wave of protests demanding more freedoms and women's rights.

> At least 100 protesters are facing death penalty charges or execution, according to the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group.

The problem with tradition (on which many organized religions are huge) is that it vilifies change… you can not turn a 1200 year old boat overnight because it now suits you to publicly disagree with the other slightly-different-but-inherently-still-equally-oppressive sect.
