Hi YimachShemotoIslam,
The Iranian Jews are a very proud bunch. They've lived in Iran for nearly 3,000 years. My parents, who have lived here for more than fifty years still consider themselves Iranian. I get the impression that it's the same thing with the Jews still living in Iran. They've been there all this time, and they're very proud of being Iranians. From what I've been told, the government doesn't bother them if they don't get involved in politics. Here are some articles to check out:

You know Lisa, my girlfriend's dad is also of Iranian origin. And he taught me some Persian, I love the sounds of the language, it's beautiful. I already know how they count til 6... yek, do, sa, char, pench, shey.......... cool language. and it's an Indo-European language, so basically, there are many similarities between German, English, Spanish etc, and Persian.
Lisa:
You're right Edward. For example the Farsi word for daughter is dochtar. The Farsi word for mother is mader. For father it's pedar. In Spanish, it's madre and padre respectively.

Hi YimachShemo,
I have nothing against American Indians. They don't strike me as trouble makers in the way that some groups do.
