Iran confuses a lot of people. It is not an "Arab" country per se but rather the indigenous population are Persians, more closely related to Europeans in looks and manners (see video above) that the surrounding Semites (Jews and Arabs). Sadly after the US betrayed the Shah of Iran in the 70's the religious nuts took over and the population was divided; Christian and Muslim.
Yeah they speak Farsi I believe. I think the biggest divider is that they are Shia while the rest of the Muslim world is Sunni. I didn’t know they had a lot of Christians there. If they just let go of religion, people would have less “morals” to kill each other over. Ironic.
Yup. The pursuit of god, no matter what the flavor has fucked up tons of people down through the centuries.
People just cherry pick whatever parts of religion they claim to be a part of , to justify their actions. Religion is just an excuse.
