چو ايران نباشد تن من مباد

بدين بوم و بر زنده يک تن مباد

بيا تا همه تن به کشتن دهيم

مبادا که کشور به دشمن دهيم

دريغ است ايران که ويران شود

کنام پلنگان و شيران شود

iranians must not forget that only a fraction of what is called/considered arab nowadays, is indeed arab. the arabs are and were on the arab peninsula (saudi arabia, united arab emirates,...), countries like iraq, syria, lebanon, egypt, palestine,... were conquered by the arabs (like iran), converted to islam (for the bigger part) and linguistically arabized (unlike iran). arab invadors mixed (raped) with the local population but most are no real arabs nowadays

[nouniii2010]

has this anything to do with islam, will we be raised on the day of judgement and judged according to our race or our deeds according to the law of Allah (I'm not an arab or persian)... I just cannot understand what the prestige is all for when u die and ur flesh is rotting I doubt you will be pondering about how great u are over arabs and likewise vice versa for arabs too....
