I will not join in bashing of any people or culture. But I must add this to your posts as an addendum, beginning with a personal commentary.
Some individuals here are more ignorant than some of the Arabs they try to bash.
The primitive Arabs have a very good excuse. Misinformation, lack of possibility for education and a general ulterior motivated backwards religious superstition.
Here, in the western world, we are but a keyboard away from an Internet search, which clearly defines Iranians as Persians. From the ancient tribes of the Arian race. Thus the name Iran, which means Arian.
Though I would place the mullahs, as the most anti evolutionary bunch of hoodlums, they are not Arabs.
Even Ayatollah Sistani is a Persian born cleric with British aspirations of controlling Shiite Arab population in Southern Iraq.
Same as 50%+ of the Jewish Israelis that are Iranian born Persians including priminister Netanyahu and living in Israel.
There is nothing wrong with being Arab. Due to lack of recourses, just a larger majority of them have been denied education.
The Religion of Islam, if not viewed as means to power through separating the church and state can produce a very peace loving community of people. I know it sounds absurd now, but just recall when America’s best friend was Shah of Iran. (Shah means Persian King)
PS. USSSR went bankrupt in Afghanistan. There is an under appreciation for a prolong gorilla war that we need to be aware of. We might have declared the war operations over in 100 hours in Iraq. But we are plenty busy still mopping.
Keep up the fight for Irans Freedom.
I didn't know that Netanyahu was of Persian race -
do you have weblinks about his biograpohy?
