    I agree , Reza shah is the one who changed the country name from Persia to Iran (as part of modernization) he was doing very well for the country, until the country was invaded by britain during world war II and he was removed from the power ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-S...vasion_of_Iran )
    note iran was not involved in the war this was illegal act.

    Unfortunately some of the western countries like Britain in particular have played very negative role in history of Persia/Iran that’s one of the major reasons why you see extremist controling iran ( see
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reza_Shah#Modernization
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mossadeq
    )

    Ignorance is not innocence but sin.

    Wembley stadium . The CEO of a world renouned architectural practice is Iranian responsible for the design of some of the biggest projects in the world such as Beijing Airport. An asset to the architectural field in the U.K, and valued contribution to the economy by securing projects of huge significance.

    Indeed, as opposed to Persian. (Since Iranians aren't Arabs.)

    Or do you not know the etymology of 'bint'?

    Which makes it another kind of humour...
