Shaykh Mohammad Shafi Qurayshi is the Mufti of the Sunni Shafi'i region of Talysh, Gilan (Northern Iran, which is one of the remaining Sunni strongholds of Iran after the anti-Sunni Safawi onslaught in the 16th century on Iranian Sunnis. He has never bowed down to the regime (unlike some sell-out Sunni Iranian clerics whom the regime loves to parade as their allies and 'true Sunnis') and never compromised his beliefs which have cost him and his family abuse and harassment from the Iranian regime. The backlash of executing Sunni Iranian scholars and activists are calculated by the regime, it is often not worth it to execute Sunnis, a better strategy for the regime is constant harassment. However, a number of major Sunni Iranian scholars were assassinated by the regime, the more outspoken, the more brutal the execution (sudden 'car accidents', drive-by-shootings by 'unknown' assailants, etc.).
