- rokhayakebe 18y agoPersian and Arabs share a whole lot of similarities. I lived with a Persian family for nearly 6 months so I have experienced it. On the other hand I lived 12 years across the street from a Arab family and I went to school with a few Arabs as well. I know Arabs, Persian, Assyrian..
- fharper1961 18y agoYeah, just don't tell any Persians that they're similar to Arabs; unless you wan them to feel insulted that is. Suppose you're from the USA, how would you feel if someone says you're similar to Mexicans?

- rsheridan6 18y agoFunny, that's the same analogy a Persian made to me when explaining the difference between Persians and Arabs - that they're as different as the US and Mexico.
- rokhayakebe 18y agoAt one point in history Persia was ruled by the Samanids who practiced Islam. If you said Islam in those days, you said Arab. Although he may be Persian, you can most definitely be sure that he was deeply influenced by the Arabic tradition and culture.
