@ModernCeasar The Arsacid era and beyond brought in more warlike people into Iran and its vicinity. That is why.

@HeadPlatterEtc @jallabsocialist The original tweet was about Greek connection to the East. Ottomans subjugated and killed all sorts of people, including eastern ones. Did your sliminess overlook those also since you didn’t mention them but only Greeks?

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@HeadPlatterEtc @jallabsocialist Greek connection to the East begins not with Ottoman conquest, but in the Bronze Age and thereafter. It was very slimy of you to just start of with the Ottoman conquest.

@StewieArmenian This is refreshing to hear. I understand that a majority Muslim Middle East may cause some hesitancy among Armenians to identify with the East, but Armenia is rightly in the East, but more connected to Iranic, Anatolian and ancient Mesopotamian realms rather than semetic.

@PaulSkallas Partly explained by the fact that the elites are from different ethnic groups from Central Asia and Iran. Poor populace indigenous to the Punjab.

@SirStuffings @gavinortlund Your entire post is nothing more than expression of your own nationalistic or tribalistic sentiments. Neither Iran or any other country is obliged to live under the hegemony of the U.S.

@AiasAias399022 @wutangclan98 @KirkegaardEmil As in not being directly from Sintashta ancestry? I mean who on earth were Medes, Persians, Parni, all of whom were clearly associated with steppe culture; trousers, horse riding, extrem martial values etc.

@RomeInTheEast I apologize then.

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@RomeInTheEast See. Assuming bad intentions. I for one, have enormous respect for Sweden. One of the best cultures there ever is, and even embodies Islamic principles better than many Muslim majority countries. Feel free to roam my page for criticism, snake.

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@RomeInTheEast I know. I just wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine assuming every Muslim harbour bad intention. Everyone can play this game. One of the easiest to play.

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@Restitutor_Iran @borzou There will be no Iran. When the regime falls, everyone will clamour for freedom, Kurds, Baloch, separatist segments amongst some azeris. It will then be your Pahlavi ”liberators” who will do killings of civilians.

@cokesajoke @ArtaMoeini @AaronBastani This generation, can not by definition, retroactively, redefine how previous generations defined themselves. Safavids, Buyids, Samanids, etc were all Muslims and identified as Muslims. The people in the video should be honest about it and then proceed to seperate themselves of.

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@heretic_poet @wq0ovr Selfish. It’s only because you’re an ex-”Muslim” that they ruined it according to you.

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@realpeteyb123 Greece too has an imperial history.

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@Iranpour79 @BiruniKhorasan None of the historical sources that call afghans a hardy martial race peddle the ”graveyard of empires” trope. You’re creating a straw man.

[Poitierfrance @Poitierfrance]

@Geshti_Azadi You should probably not mix those people up with these chaps below, who today are probably the closest proxy to original Yaz Iranians. These guys are of course also Mujahideen.
