What happened to the Persians?

>>129232017
They are Iranians now.

>>129232017
Yes, in a puff of smoke!

>>129232017

>>129232017
>>129232190

>>129232017
no. Just like all big empires they got fat and lazy and lost relevance.

Really leaf?

>>129232017
Leaf read a book

>>129232017
They probably said "there is no islamization!" like the Germans say today.

Ya but how does a Persian become an Iranian? Is it basically just like a Ukrainian becoming a Russian?

Is there a definitive moment where this transformation happened like pic related?

>>129232017

Iran is their word for themselves.

Their language is called Farsi, which is potato for Persian

Aryan
Iran

Got overran by semites from the east, asians from the north, and a trickle of nubian slaves from within. One time, two times, many times. And the suddenly they were Persians, not Aryans.

Many such cases. Look up the Tocharians of China.

They lost in ww1

Why does it seem like all other Moslems hate Arabs, when they're supposedly the holy people?

I mean, Christians hate Jews, but at least that kind of makes sense, since they consider Christians the real Jews.

You mean west
>asians from the north
You mean from the east
>nubian slaves
Those got euthanized
>suddenly they were persians
They were always persians

>>129232017
They basically fought with Byzantium until reaching a point of mutually-assured destruction, then got Islam'd and Arab dicked

>>129234108
proper steppe Iranians were always a small elite, modern inhabitants of Iran are genetically very close to pre-Aryan chalcolithic Iranians

Still around but Shia Muslims now & more mixed with Arabs

But would be a White Christian Powerhouse today & great Western ally, but the Byzantine just had to fucking go to war with them while the Arabs were expanding

Because Arabs are all of the negative tendencies of Jews (nepotism, greed, being inbred as fuck etc.) with none of the positive aspects (intelligence, ingenuity, being white etc.) and are violent idiots who fuck animals on top of that.

>>129232017
Alexander turned them all gay so they went extinct soon after.

>>129234329
Arabs? Holy people? Please, Muhammed explicitely said that the religion was brought there because they were the most nefarious and low on earth, Arabs never united, they were mercenaries, assassins, their clans massacred each other, if a man's first born is a girl? Guess what? He kills her, believe it or not, Islam made arabs a bit less violent than they previously were.
>All muslims hate arabs.
If we had a button that'll kill arabs, all terrorism will disappear, wahabbism will disappear.

>>129234329
Christians hate Jews because Jews have been enslaving Christians and systematically undermining Christianity since its inception. Paul the Apostle was once Saul, and guess what his primary occupation was? Hunting and killing Christians by rabbinical decree. Basically, Jews were cunts and deserved it.

Arabs are likewise cunts and deserve to be hated.

genetic memory of getting cucked by the arabs

For the millionth TIME, /pol/, Iron age Iranians are the same as modern Iranians, studies have proven this. the accomplishments of the iranian people in the past belong to the iranians of the present.

>>129232017
Islam happened. It destroyed large swaths of their heritage.

>>129234071
>meanwhile "persians" still follow an arabic religion and use an arabic alphabet

>>129235886
Not really, while it fucked up the idenity, Persia was one of the few exceptions of Islam not fucking up, the spread was not particuarily violent.
Persians have always been better than Arabs at everything, Islam, math, philosophy, biology, alchemy, you name it

>>129232017
no, they are all hanging out at the local Whole Foods.

>Took philosophy in freshman year in college

Persians are cool

>tfw when Germany becomes an Islamic shithole you will have immigrants who still consider themselves "German" and talk about the good old times

My aunts and uncles are all Persian through a marriage. Their food is banging and their language sounds cool. They all say the same thing about Iran. Used to be awesome. Fucking Jews.
