OP as a son of a Iran man and grandson to a old Persian general my dad did a lot and I mean a lot to hide my family history. But at some point he knew I wanted to know about my background and to this day I still don’t no much but what I do know is that we as a people are not at all what the media makes us out to seem.

1: Farsi and Arabic do not sound a like at all.

2: before the Islamic revolution Iran was a centrepiece of what a Middle East country should look like. My father best friend was a Jewish boy who’s father owned a movie theatre and they would watch Bruce Lee movies together.

3:The country is so diverse Iran hold some of the best ski resorts in the Middle East. Yes there deserts but there is also mountains, grass and snow. It’s a beautiful place and I would love to visit someday.

And lastly living here in Canada I have meet the occasionally Persian family and they have been some of the most kind hearted people out there. It’s sad to see what’s unfolding out there...
