well sort, are you saying that youre family is a part of the 5-10% of religious people?
and if so, then youre not a part of the majority, how nationalistic are the majority of iranians, and how do they feel about arabs (i think you covered islam pretty good), any feelings of resentment towards them because of the 80s war?
no my family like thier way but not me. I like modern way and western way.
Iranian don't think Irani- iraqi a irani-arabi war
they don't like arabs because they wanna to rename the persian gulf although they know that persian gulf always in history had been persian gulf
they think arabs are not brave man and are fearfull
before islamic revolution preislam time has too much important and many poeple remember that time so even today governmetn don't pay attention like that time but poeple remember that things has said about preislam time
every man in iran have a trend for fundamentalism or modernism
this sence in election time increase because modern or fundamental groups encourage poeple to think about and then go to elect president
for relation of iran and arab i wanna to mention some thing
as you know before islam only poeple of arabia pesilvania talking arabian but after islam all the north of africa and midlle east except iran talking arabic (about 900 years ago muslims capture place that today named turkey and so I don't count this country) as you know islam spread from indous river to atlantic ocean and from atlantic ocean to iran borders all poeple speak arabic even egypt with high civilization (i mean majorities not minorities) for saving persian language up today many poeple try and this caused after iran every nation have its languages afghans speaking Pashto, Pakistanian speaking Ordo and else
about 300 to 400 year official language of iran will be arabic
this is not in religion to speak arabic but some time arabs encourage others to speak arabic except thier ex language and for atlantic ocean to iran's border this true and poeple change thier language but not in iran and poeple return to thier original language although eith some thing from arabic but arab poeple don't like this and said that iranians become non muslim and iranian dislike this thing because they know that religion don't related to language
arabs also don't like iranian because they speak persian not arabic and so this caused ununity
arabs claim that every thing from golden age age of islam is belong to arabs like ave cina and other scintific poeple and also claim that many things invnted in that time is belong to arabs like alphabet and numbers but they are originally iranian and indian
there is a sence in iranian that arabs wanna to capture all things belong to goden age of islam
also in civilization said that golden age of arabs but iranians don't think so and think that was golden age of islam
maybe this is because of nationalism invented in west
before coming nationalism to muslim countries there was not a sence of nationalism in muslims countries because they think only they are muslims anf shi'a or sonni
