The unity of Iranian people can only be achieved by uniting around the possibilities of the future and not the glories of the past.  That means uniting around a number of requirements that are essential to securing a solid 21^st Century political and economic system in Iran.  The following is a list of the least of these basic requisites to form such a national unity for Iran and Iranians.  Please note that the comprehensive views of the Proposal of the Iranian Futurist Party Platform are documented below:

And here I have listed a *framework* of the minimum requirements for Iranian national unity:

2.2    Abolition of all Islamic laws including Qessas laws, laws against heretics, and laws discriminating against women, etc.
