Very true. Different language, different culture. Islam aside, they be quite different. Fajim left Iran to avoid being forced to serve in the military and to experience the world outside of the strict controls there. The irony is, he went back to join the military when hostilities with Pakistan started getting tense..

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
The woman be Persian, not Arab. Different language and culture, though both are part of the whole Muslim bloc I guess. Maz Jobrani says it perfectly, the difference lies within the accents:
"Arabs speak very fast, and almost angry 'HELLO HOW ARE YOU, HELLO, I'M FINE THANK YOU, HELLO.' Persians just shot a whole mess of heroin 'hellooooooooooo... nice to meet yooooooooouuuuuuuuuuu...... yessssssssssssssssssssss..."

Yeah, she grew up in Iran during that whole war, needless to say I've never seen a pacifist so happy as when they hung Saddam.
Yeah, don't call a Persian an Arab, that's likely to get you punched in the face/balls/soul. Vice versa is likely true I'm sure. When the woman's father was dying of cancer he got an Arab doctor and made fun of him the entire time: "What?! You killed my people! You're name means CORN where I come from!" hahahahaha
I think Armenian/Jewish? All I know is when I got in a fight with my bint one night, I jerked off to the Playboy with Kim Kardashian in it, and muttered "you Middle Eastern whore..." to the pictures.

persian and arab are quite different. I also find their faces really attractive to look at, at least for many of them.

But that's not true at all, Iran is not an Arab nation. They are not the same people and they speak different languages (meaning, they speak Farsi not Arabic). According to wikipedia, only 3% of Iranians are Arab, the rest are Persian. They do both happen to be muslims and even then they are shia where Arabs are sunni.
They're even further apart than that. A spaniard and mexican at least both speak the same language.

I know a Spaniard and a Peruvian who would take offense to that
LOL, it's true, there are subtle differences from what I understand. My wife took Spanish at university and lived in Madrid for a year -- she says that Spaniards speak really eloquent Spanish whereas Mexicans and Puerto Ricans speak a rougher, edgier version. That said, the people of Madrid believe their Spanish is more refined than the rest of Spain. Go figure.
By the way, Lurch has a Peruvian friend named Wilson and when I first met him I asked where from China he was from.
You've never seen anyone look so Chinese that isn't. 
Persians definitely don't look like sandnegars. They can easily pass as white/mexican. Case in point, two days ago at work, a Persia lady started muttering gibberish in my vicinity requesting directions to the lobby area. I began talking to the bint in Spanish, to which I received a deer in the headlights reply.

I get that too. Someone speaks to me in Spanish, and I'm like "sorry ol' chap, can't help you". I went to Egypt and everyone spoke to me in Arabic, and I was like "sorry ol' chap, can't help you".
Close enough. They speak the same language.

Where are you exactly from? Sri Lanka or India by way of the UK aye?

I am Anglo-Indo-Aryan.
My parents were born in INDIAAAAAA! Then moved to Pakistan (same thing) during the partition but then ended up in the UK and had me. [But our ancestors are from Sumeria/Persia/somewhere in the desert and yes, they were shia muslims which explains our lighter skin color etc.].

LOL. No semitic bloodline as far as I can know. Actually supposed strong Islamic ties there somewhere in the bloodline, going back a fair bit, but then it's difficult to trace back pre-Islam but it's in the region of mesopotamia or sumeria.
Put it this way, I don't get thirsty very often.
I am in fact Indo-Aryan by bloodline, some aryans went to Europe, others went to India. I am of the latter.

HAIL!
So I've never really disclosed this before but I have shia muslim bloodline, related all the way back to the 4th Imam (equivalent of prophet disciple) -- his name was Zayn al-Abidin. (My last name is Abidi). He was the son of Sharbano, who in turn was the daughter of King Yazdgerd III, the last king of the Persian Empire [Sassanid Empire].
Before Islam took over and destroyed everything, the religion of the Sassanid Empire was Zoroastrian, with cool shit like fire temples and stuff like that. Anyway, this is the coin for King Yazdgerd III:
Yep, that was me ol' granpappi. Kinda cool really. Reading about that persian empire is interesting stuff. I love the internet.
