Thanks for the clarification. I always keep telling people to stop calling Persians "Arabs." The Persians are a glorious civilization and to compare them to the Arabs is VERY unfair.

BTW, who was the king of Persia when the Arabs invaded the country and forcibly converted most Persians to Islam? Was it Darius the Third?

Thanks for your contribution, FRiend. Most Persians I have met, Parsees and otherwise, have been some of the finest people I know.

Darius III was defeated by Alexandre way before Arabs invaded Persia!

The Sassanid King named Yazd-Gerd was in charge when the invasion occured
