The Iranians arre NOT arabs. In the ME they are more like Americans in their attitudes than are any of the arab groups. Modernization is simply not a fearsome thing to them.

You are correct.

Iranians are NOT Arabs. Arabs speak a Semitic Language.

Iranians speak Farsi, a language related to Sanskrit and hence to all other Indo-European Languages like the Slavic, Celtic, Greek, Latin, Germanic, etc. languages.
