Consider this description of a person living around 1600:

i earn a living weaving rugs for traders to sell along the persian gulf. though my family and i are christians, the shah and his soldiers mostly leave us alone. unfortunately, the same is not true for the sunni muslims i know. they refuse to become shia muslims, and as a result some of them have been jailed or beaten and threatened with worse.
where does this person live?

Safavid empire

Explanation:

The Safavid shahs ruled this Iranian empire after the 7th century Muslim conquest of Iran. The empire was famous for its goods and its trading network. This explains why the rugs that this person makes are being sold along the Persian Gulf. The empire also established Shia Islam as the official religion of the empire, which explains why the Sunni Muslims that the person knows are being persecuted for not converting to Shia Islam.
