Iranians don't liked to be called Arabs. It's so unethical.

Folks,
For me it is funny that the Iranian Farsi accent in English is similar to the Iranian accent of Iranian Dutch people. I knew 3 Iranian people in Arnhem personally and other Iranians superficial. These people are very Proud of the Old Persian Culture, architecture (Persapolis), Persian civilization, Persian Poetry, Persian music, Persian Art, Persian history, Persian people, Persian Philosophy and their Persian Zoroastrist heritage. Never mistakingly think and Iranian is an Arab and say it to him or her. The Iranian person will be insulted.
Many Persian Farsi Iranians will tell you have Modern Iran was before Ruhollah Khomeini took power and the Islamic Republic was founded. Iranians about Iran; "So you know Iranian women wore Miniskirts in the Seventies and that we were a Western Nation. As soon as we topple this regime we will be a Modern Western country again."
An Iranian acqaintace in Arnhem; "Most Iranian hate and reject this regime. As soon we get rid of the Ayatollah's and Mullah's Iran will turn back to Modernity and will be a Western country again."
Iranians in the West are a diverse community; "You have moderate or conservative Shiite Muslims amongst them, Secular Shiites, Iranian Nationalists, Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) (People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI)) people, an Iranian militant organization that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and installation of its own government. They accepted a combination of Marxism and Islamism as the base of their belief. And You will have Iranian nationalists, Liberals, conservatives, Libertarians, Marxist folks, communists and Social Democratic people. A lot of Iranian dissidents are as refugees and migrants in the USA, Canada, Australia, Israel and Europe. Amongst them dissident critical journalists, writers, poets, cartoonists, Independent Thinkers, comedians, former University students of Iranian Universities, Feminists, Gay Right activists, dissident Liberal Shia clerics and theologians, and Iranians of the minority and persecute faiths of the Baháʼí Faith, Zoroastrianism, Iranian Christians, Iranian Jews and also persecuted Iranian Sunni Muslim Arabs and Iranian Kurds. There are a lot of Iranian Kurds in the Netherlands as well, next to the Turkish Kurds and Syrian Kurds. Iranians wherever they are have strong communities, a strong cultural life, and Iranian food, culture and music is never very far away from these communities. These people are proud of thier ancient culture and they are entitled to be so, because their culture is an Old culture that goes back to the 15th–6th century BCE.
Cheers, Pieter
