Okay, so I presume your husband must have been one of the Zoroastrian Persians who converted to Islam under force. Is that correct? Only those Muslims have any historical right to call themselves "Persians." None other, as the rest are just Persian imposters who destroyed & ended all that was Persian.
Iran and Persia - Are They the Same?
Iran and Persia - Are They the Same?
Would you like me to join on the Iran board? For now let me just ask you or your husband a question. Do you or do you not agree that no Muslim ever has been, or ever can be, a "Persian"?
Start a thread on the issue you want to discuss, Persian history certainly has nothing to do with this thread topic
It is my husband who is really knowledgeable about Persian history, as he was born a Persian and lived in Persia/ aka Iran for the first over 20 years of his life.
And he is one of those people who never forgets all that history he learned, he has like a photographic memory about history. He loves history and Persia / aka Iran certainly has a long and rich and distinquished history.
Interesting, Herodotus (the worlds first historian) wrote about both a Palestine and a Persia, close to 2500 years ago, but nothing about an Israel.
Of course, neither I nor my husband agree the inhabitants of Iran are not Persian.
THAT is like claiming any Palestinian is no longer a Palestinian because Israel exists as a nation today and controls the land.
OF course, Islam has had an effect on Iran and I certainly agree one can argue over whether that is positive or negative.
Start a thread on what you want to discuss, here or in the Iran subforum.
But the people of Iran remain Persians.
