Wow, Persians and Westerners are a bit different...

The funniest thing to do with that link is let it load fully, then move the cursor along at intervals and listen to the rising emotion.

Unless you speak the language I guess.

Persians? What Persians? Iraqis are Arabs. Persians are Iranians.

One guy was calling the other guy an Iranian and a Persian. Sorry I did not write and essay net-nanny.

I was basing my reply on the intro graphic. They are speaking in Arabic and the guy they are calling Iranian has an Arabic name - maybe he's a spy or something.

Iranians are Sunni (I think) and Sadam was Sunni. The majority of Iraqis are Shiite.

I think that is why they were arguing but I am not sure.
I could have switched Sunni and Shiite as well but I know the sect of religion in Iran and Iraq are different.

It is not the religion, the culture is Persian vs Arab. Some try to say it is a race difference.

Iran is Shiite. Saudi Arabia is Sunni.
