Iranian obsession with a name is a clear indicator of cultural insecurity.

Iranian obsession with a name is a clear indicator of cultural insecurity.

And your obsession with name distortion is a clear indicator of being uncivilized and lacking historical roots.

And your obsession with name distortion is a clear indicator of being uncivilized and lacking historical roots.

Of course Arabs who dominated three empires extended from China to Spain lack historical roots. Be grateful my friend, without us you would have been still worshiping fire, the only time Persians florished was under Arab rule. Writing was first found in current Syria, the first law in human kind history was issued in current Iraq, the first hospital was build is in Cairo, the first university was in Baghdad, and the first surgery was performed by Arabs. Persian contributed what to humanity? fire?

First hospitals were built in Sassanian period (pre-Islamic era).

About university,
"Worshipping of fire" is also a misconception about Zoroastranism, they dont "worship" fire!! See Quran 22:17, they are even considered as "Ahl al-Kitab" People of the Book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About "university", if you mean Bayt al-Hikmah, that was library. (built in Harun al-Rashid era who was under influense of his Persian viziers Barmakids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Iranian obsession with a name is a clear indicator of cultural insecurity.

... possibly because of supremacist tendencies of Arabs, constantly threatening our land, our existence and even our name?
