Iran is considered to be the home of the Aryan race

That's the first time I ever heard that. Can anyone enlighten me?

Also didn't the muslin brotherhood start about the same time the "right-wing" socialist party came into being in Germany?

Lots and lots of mixed-up scholarship, legends and false mythology here, that appears to have started with a brilliant British bureaucrat. While he was not the first to take notice, William Jones (1746-94) was a polymath with an interest in India even prior to being appointed to the British government there. Arriving in Calcutta in 1783, he delved deeply into the languages, religions and literature and then became forever famous in 1847 when he gave a lecture pointing out similarities between Sanskrit, Greek and Latin to which he later added Celtic and Persian. He became of the opinion that there was a common ancestral language to all of them.

From this start came the now accepted theory that almost all the languages found in Europe and the ancient Persian Empire through to northern India were derived from a ancestral language and people who's modern designation is "Indo-European". Further studies give the probable source of the language and people as being located on the Northern Iranian Plateau prior to 2000BC.

The mythology derives from such authors as Arthur de Gobineau (1816-82) who adopted the idea of the Indo-European master language & race but added things like an uncorrupted elite pure strain characterized by being blonde and blue-eyed. This was the conceptualization that were seized upon by Nietzsche (Also Sprach Zarathustra) and went into the tailored Nazi superman, the Übermensch.

Isn't History fun! And we get to repeat it too. Take the same concepts, file off the inconvenient facts, add your own facts and you get roughly the same with different pigmentation and sourced from Namibia to civilize the world!
