سوال جالبیه، نظر من اینه که آنچه ما به عنوان فرهنگ ایرانی میشناسیم در اصل محصول جوشیدن طولانی مدت ترکها و ایرانیا و اعراب مسلمان در دیگ خراسان بزرگ بوده، در نتیجه مثلا صفویها و عثمانیها از خیلی نظرا مشابه بودن چون جفتشون از همون دیگ در اومدن و در واقع یه تبار تمدنی دارن

Dennis Eckert Dargahi 🇮🇷 already has more goal contributions for Standard Liège 🇧🇪 this season in 26 less games than last season, this comes right after he got nationalized to play for Iran
@Dantesoglu@brahimE75101685 not to mention the Shia would've been eradicated as the number of supporters of Ali were extremely extremely low, many were afraid to go against what happened in Saqifa after they already took power & forced the others
Shah Ismail: "I am a Sayyid (descandant of the Prophet), Iranian by nationality, my empire is Iranian, and my children have Iranian names"
turks from Turkey: "No he actually was a TURK 🇹🇷!"
azeris from Azerbaijan: "No he actually was a TURK 🇦🇿!"

this clip from an Ottoman series, shows the Ottoman sunnis chanting "Ya Ali" meaning "O' Ali" and saying "O' followers of Muawiya, O' enemies of Muhammad" which clearly shows the mainstream sunni view before the wahhabi pollution, Muawiya, today revered by many Sunnis, was the founder of the Umayyad empire, the Umayyads from Abu Sufyan, Muawiya's father were hostile to the Prophet Muhammad & fought him for about 20 years as an anti-Muslim polytheist, by his wife Hind's orders, the Prophet's beloved uncle, Hamza was killed, she then ate his liver out of spite, the Umayyads then "converted" to Islam when they lost in Mecca and had no other choice, their hatred to the Prophet & his family still was kept deep inside, Muawiya was hostile to Imam Ali, ordered him to be cursed from the pulpits, made cursing him a state tradition & policy, rejected his caliphate & fought him in the Battle of Siffin and more politically, Imam Hasan, Ali's eldest son & heir, the chosen caliph, was opposed again by Muawiya, he eventually was brutally poisoned by his orders, now again, Yazid, Muawiya's son was hostile to Imam Hussain, Imam Hasan's younger brother & brutally and mercilessly butchered him & his family & companions in the Battle of Karbala, what a terrible terrible family and yet claim to be "Muslims"
according to an Indian inside India, the Parsis (Zoroastrian Indians from Persian heritage) have an incredibly low fertility rate, these numbers seem to me that they are an extremely endangered people
how do these monarchists larp the Iranian pre-Islamic history so badly while also larping Christianity? the Sasanian kings despised the religion & actively persecuted them, in Rabbi Mizrachi's voice "how do you have one leg here and one leg there?"
this is Asad, my paternal grandfather's grandfather and the progenitor of my family, my family name, Asadi, means "of/from Asad" which translates from his arabic name to "lion-like", Asad literally means lion in Arabic, it is basically a shortened form of Asadollah (lion of God), which many Iranians use as it is a name after Imam Ali (a nickname of his), his descendants number easily in the hundreds today, seeing as I have tons & tons of direct second cousins alone, for example, just ONE of my father's uncles had over 20 children alone, in addition, in a world where my family were in rule of a monarchy, I would be the prince and in line after my father, who would hypothetically be the Shah, as I'm the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of Asad, Iranians used to wear turbans as part of their national dresswear back then as you can see, one of my second cousins made an entire family tree of his descandants (almost accurate as the list is way too big)
