I just saw the last Sam Dunn's documental called Global Metal, the same guy that made Metal - A Headbanger's Journey, really cool stuff... there's metal in Iran! time ago, I had a discussion with a muslim guy back in sweden, he was from jordania or something and he said that there was no metal on those countries, even more, he said that it was almost an insult to say that because of their historic religious culture... too bad I'm not in sweden right now to show him this documental... he was quite a nice guy, though.
