Stockholm Syndrome..
Seriously, they are Dhimmi which arabs consider sub-human, without rights...
They are "treated well" much as camels or goats are treated well..
The down side is, there is rarely any penalty for killing a dhimmi..
Or, for takng their property if it is convenient, raping their women or children,.. the list goes on..
If you are not Muslim, then you submit to muslim authority, and you are allowed to live as dhimmi..
Otherwise, you are an infidel, and only deserve death..
Islam in a nutshell..
Iranians aren't arabs!
