The ordinary firman
editThe current intro omits the ordinary firman, or written permission for a foreigner to be in the Islamic country. The ordinary traveller could buy one in lieu of a passport. Archaeologists and explorers applied for permission for their activities, and could not conduct them until they received one. Most westerners are not interested in the exalted sense of a body of tradition used to govern the country, they only want permission to do what they are trying to do. I'm adding this sense to the intro.Dave (talk) 08:47, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
