  6. They are all jewish

    • And what if they “all” are, as you put it. Does that mean they’re not, or can’t be, Persian?
      Perhaps you don’t know, Persian Jewish people had lived in that land a thousand years before anyone called “Reza” invited himself over.

    • Really???
      Our wonderfull Jewish countrymen were always very hard working and smart. Well done dear Iranians. We are very proud of you and your achievements.

  19. خوب ثروت این ها چه ربطی به من دارد؟ امیدوارم به ثروت آ نها افزوده شود ولی چه عزت و احترامی برای من دارد؟از این فرهنگ ریا کاری و چاپلوسی دست بکشیم.آنها که هیچ افتخاری به شما نمی کنند چون نیازی به این کار ندارند و پول و ثروت آنها هم به هر حال به هر طریقی که به دست آورده اند نتیجه کار خودشان بوده،اینخا من چه کاره ام که در به در دنبال افتخارم؟
