LOL
I did mention something similar to an Iranian once..
ya see Iranians do not consider themselves to be Arab at all.. and some don't even like the muslim bit...but don't have much choice there;-)Since ancient times, Persians (Iranians) used the term Aryan to describe their lineage and their language, and this tradition has continued into the present day amongst modern Iranians. In fact, the name Iran is a cognate of Aryan and means "Land of the Aryans."
They were an advanced culturally in ancient times.Darius the Great, King of Persia (521–486 BC), in an inscription in Naksh-i Rustam (near Shiraz in present-day Iran), proclaims: "I am Darius the great King… A Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, having Aryan lineage...". He also calls his language the "Aryan language," commonly known today as Old Persian.
The word has become a technical term in the theologies of Zoroastrianism, but has always been used by Iranians in the ethnic sense as well.
Zoroastrian is quite an impressive religion if you look at it...just to switch onto a more pleasant topic.
there are followers today even.. mostly I suspect in those who have emigrated from Iran, but I don't really know.Recall Hitler and Aryan descent stuff?
ome of them don't exactly appreciate being grouped with those in Iraq I think
