Persians and Indians call themselves Aryans long before a lunatic Austrian came about and made it a Germanic race issue.

Whoever the military sides with will rule.

Whoever controls the military will rule. They don’t get to pick sides, other than which side of the firing squad they prefer to be on.

If true, this is a significant development. Back to the glory of Persia before Islam.

That would scorch Jimmuh Carter's shorts.....

[Pearls Before Swine]

Maybe I should have appended a sarcasm tag?

I’m well aware that Aryan Nation is a white supremacist prison gang, and that Alien Nation is a great movie.

Aryan Nation is an Alien term when applied to Iranians seeking to shake the yoke of Islamist Arab cultural influence.

The country’s name, IRAN is from the word ARYAN.

“The youth of Iran is sick of Islam and want go back to their roots ( pure iranian culture - Zoroastrianisim-Aryan identity)”

Proud identitarians are rising everywhere... except in White America, where instead we are suffering from self flagellation, and self hatred. I wonder how much longer before we wake up.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well its true that Iranians are Persian not Arabic.

[Rusty0604]

Yep.

[Born to Conserve]

Nice simple position. Perhaps our side has a persuader on staff. When you’re pulling the right strings, you don’t have to pull very hard...

Usually, when I am out in a group of people, the leftists are in the majority and I have to bite my tongue, but sometimes, the rightists have a slight numerical advantage, and the conversation is completely turned around with the leftists biting their tongues.

It doesn’t take much of a shift for a situation to be flipped, and with a persuader of great authority having the power to fiddle with the frame of reference and other such things, The whole radical Iran thing could be over before the fake news can lie about it.

[aquila48]

Most Iranians identify more with Europe than the Arab world, and they call themselves Persians.

It would be cool and quite a boost to the people there if Trump started calling them Persians.

The mullahs would go nuts.

[Uncle Sam 911]

Persian identity beginning to reassert itself? Let’s hope so. The current Iranian government is the root of terrorism in the entire world.

“Back to the glory of Persia before Islam. “

They are not going to throw off 1350 years of embedded culture overnight.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Actually some Iranians do not like to be called Iranians. They call themselves Persians. Well, the world ‘Iran’ has nothing to do with Islam(it is actually a more nationalist term,) but since Islamic Revolution in Iran, it carries Islamic connotation. Those who are against Islamic regime do not want to be associated with the word.

[TigerLikesRooster]

No, but they can resurrect much of past legacy. Rome's legacy was buried for centuries before it was resurrected during Renaissance. Islam won't disappear overnight. However, its share could be deflated and can be sidelined.

Will the Mullahs turn and slaughter them for it...Tiannamen again?

IMHO, I don't think the Mullahs are as vicious as the Chinese were in Tiannamen.

At least the Mullahs have some morals; the Chinese Communists have none. They (the Chinese) repeatedly rolled over bodies to pulp them out, scraped up the remains with bulldozers and burned them.

[Spiridon]

The ultimate MSM, the left-wingers at the BBC, are not ignoring Iran.

Its been their lead all weekend.
