Iranians

It is astonishing to witness that the Iranians, onto whom the Arabs imposed Islam through military defeat, have become its most zealous followers to the point of oppressing those of Zoroastrianism, though it is the religion of their own fathers. A kind of Stockholm syndrome on the national scale.

Before the conquest by the Arabians, the majority of the Persians were Zoroastrians, but there were also Jews and Christians. So, who could imagine today that Iranians have Jewish or Christian ancestors?

Iranians used to eat their main meal with yoghurt.

In the past, Iranians lived on bread, but today their main food is rice.

Iranians don't want war but they are ready for it.

Iranians are predominantly Shia.

Iranians refer to the United States as the Empire of Satan.

Iranians are brave people.

Iranians are hard workers.

I admire Iranians and Russians.
