To further complicate it, Arabs are a small minority in Iran and 
frequently persecuted. Iran inherited what was called Arabistan from the 
Ottoman Empire and it's been a thorn in their side. The Persians are an 
Indo-European people, or what was called Aryan before some unfortunate 
20th century events. They don't like Arabs, who are a Semitic people. 

It's like one of those logic statements. Most Arabs are Moslems but most 
Moslems aren't Arabs. The Arabs seem to be the least civilized.
