Khashayar: And I have a question: How many people in the USA do know that Iranians are not Arabs? OR Iranians speak Persian?

Heatseeker: I wasn't the person you asked but I don't see anyone answering on the thread, so I will try to. I think it depends on where in the USA you are. I expect most educated people, particularly in larger cities where there are a lot of Iranians, or people who have educated themselves on the subject, will know that most Iranians are not Arabs and do not speak Arabic.

Khashayar, I found your question of interest as well. To me the distinction of their culture or spoken language isn't as important as their like medieval attachment to a vile religion that gave birth to this "Islamic revolution". Arab or Persian? Afghani, Pakistani or Saudi? the shared behaviors of these violent Islamic fundamentalists is what gives the entire region the homogenous appearance.

Why don't you care about their differences?

I think what you're misunderstanding, is that many Persians are secular muslims. They are not Islamic fundamentlaists. And most muslims, are not violent.
Saudi's are fundamentalists....gotta be careful of them.
