Pardon me folks:
Couple of things,
I. As of this time, a foreign born American Immigrant such as Arnold can run for anything except presidency of United States. That is why we are trying to change the constitution so Immigrants such as Arnold can run for presidency.
II. My issue had nothing to do with Farsi or Persian! My indifference was about Farsi & Parsi (both Iranian Terms for the language). I have no problem with other foreigners calling it (Persian).
III. I hate to agree on anything with Peter; however, I shall agree with Peter that Almost All Central Asia (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan) and West Asia (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan) are practically our flesh & blood. They were states of Iran for centuries and milleniums. If Russians & British would have not stolen them from us & created fabricated nations out of them & now grant them independence, they would still have been part of Iran. So in other words, despite the events of the last 200 years and unworthiness of Qajar Dynasty, I must admit I consider a Turkmen, an Irani & Citizen of the Persian Empire. A Turkmen has as much rights to be called Persian as an Esfahani does! And if we shall take over the government in Iran, we will bring back all our Ex States to the arms of Mother Persia including Turkmenistan. So as you see, no matter what things seems to be these days, Turkmens and all of our Ex States are our Persian Brothers & Sisters.
And yes, this means, in my heart, I consider Peter an Iranian. It does not matter what today's fabricated borders made by Russians & British separate us, but the history teaches us that a Turkmen (Turkmen Iranian or Turkmen Turkmenistani) is also an Iranian.
Well look @ Peter, in his heart and due to historical evidence, he considers himself Persian; furthermore, I believe he has every right to be considered Persian. Well only one condition! Only if Ferdowsi forgives him of screwing up the Persian Language, then we consider him Persian!
For God sakes, Iraqis (specifically Kurds) are even Persian, how can we not consider Turkmens as Persians? And unlike National Socialists (Iranian Nazis), I am not fixated on race! So all citizens of the Ex Persian Empire who have been states of Iran for millenniums, are considered Persian.
Please understand that, by the definition above, we are not including territories which have been colonialized by Persia for a few hundred years (eg: Egypt, Syria, and so on....).
Actually James is more Persian than many Lilly Ass, Fruit Roll Ups, Fag Ol Boys in Disco Tehran, Tehran-Geles! Now if I consider James, a Persian, then for sure, I consider Peter, a Persian!
Peter & I maybe disagree on many issues and I Frag a lot with Peter, but I can never Deny Peter of his Blood Right and Herritage to be Persian.
Iran, Pars, Fars, Persia, Aryana, ................ , we are all Persian.
Remember,
To be Persian, you do not have to be born in Iran, yet you have to feel the Persianhood in your heart and bones! If you can feel the Persianhood in your bone-marrow, then you are for sure Persian!
And there's your prayer
