Honolulu, Hawaii

Markers of the Baha'i Diaspora:  The Baha'i faith originated in Iran, but adherents were so severely persecuted there that few are left. Instead, they live all over the globe, including here in Honolulu. Many Baha'is, though, are converts, so don't depend on Iranian names to tip you off.  The nine-pointed star, on the other hand, is a tip-off. It's been the most popular insignia of the Baha'i faith.
