The above hypocrasity shown by many modern day Iranians is fascinating. On the one hand they say that Rudaki, Avicenna, Rumi and hundreds of others who have enriched the Persian civilization are Persians. On the other hand they say that 
 Tajiks are not Persians. Which one is it. It looks to me as if they pick and choose who they like. If you stupid dumb Iranians consider that Tajiks or Afghans are not Persians, then stop calling Rumi, Avicenna, Rudaki and others Persians as well. It`s the dumb Iranians, under the leadership of your previous coward and hypocrite king that have used Persia and Iran interchangeablly as to equate the modern day filth called Iran with the past glories of Persia. Persians are a large group of people spread in many countries like the English (England, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand), Germans (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Arabs (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, ...). You dummies should realize that modern day Iran is a land shaped by Arab, Russian and British invasions, that the Iranian or Persian people are much much larger that your the filth now called Iran, and your ruling monkeys called ayatollahs. Stop demeaning Pesian civilization by equating it to a single country created by Arabs and Russians.
