I'll just go remove my post now, because my scientifically, statistically and historically supported ramble is easily proven inferior to the theroy of Ohforf. I admit defeat and plead that all of you will have insight enough to ignore everything I ever say in the future.

How about them cupcakes then? Ponies are great for at making cupcakes. Maybe it's the single exception to the rule?

EDIT: Perhaps we should leave it here. Ponies would be quite a derail from Iran, even if they are related to the history of Peru.

Last I remember American indians are still very much alive and kicking (their culture and people).

I'm pretty sure that life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows before the conquistadores arrived, I mean slavery and live sacrifices were still common and just the cherry on the top. Not to mention that I daresay that Europeans ****ed each other over more than they did the natives.

Iranians are not Arabs, by the way, so it's natural their culture differs a bit, even if they follow the same religion.

Yeah I know an iranian women and she HATES arabs and islam (she came to sweden after the revolution)
She actually had more "extreme" opinions than me because she was afraid that islam was going to take over the world (because of high birth rates among muslims). >.>

she'd probably kill you if you called her an arab xD

Now, this is a paradox...
posted April 30, 2012 03:37 PM

Iran is a nice country, but the politics are responsibe for the bad picture in the world.

It's like Serbia - It's a small, nice, enduring (We survived both World Wars) country, but the politics made us a poor place to live in.


Don't judge a book by the way it looks:

Tesla is from Serbia, but he moved to America because of the possibilities for his progress. And if Serbia didn't exist, we would still live without electric power (or not, maybe someone would discover it by now).

My point: There could be someone in Iran that could do some great things for mankind in the future.

Who's with me?

Actually I'm kind of surprised this particular discussion isn't in the OSM.

Regardless, Iranians aren't arabs, they're Persians. Before Greece rose they were the most dominant power in the world.

Arab = Race, Muslim = Religion.

People in Indonesia are part of the most populated Muslim country in the world, but they're not Arabs =p

Umm, Persians WERE defeated by Muslim Arabs

After that followed forced conversion and attempts to destroy Zoroastrianism, all that fun stuff

A small piece from me, word Iran comes to Persian names of the "Arian" and the name was introduced in 1935.

I know, Hitler was so clever that he came up with the word aryan, he was also sooo clever that he invented the roman salute, oh and that lazy old snow was also sooo clever he invented the 5000 year old swastika that was never a holy Hindu symbol or a lucky charm.

You do realize that Iran has a population of 80 mil or so.. which is like 10 times Serbia ? And that last time people had a nice "stone your neighbor" day in Serbia was in 18th century... just saying

When it comes to Iran, unless that el presidente doesnt go, I have my finger ready...

The president is just a puppet, the real problem is the messed up religious leaders.
