[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle eastern people are Semites, most wont understand and think that you’re referring to Judaism but you’re not. Many Iranians call themselves Persians, much of Iran was Zoroastrian and did not follow Muhammad (Islam) until recently (-/+900 yrs). [/quote] Iranians are not Semitic. This term has true meaning only in a linguistic sense. Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic (together with some dead languages like Nabatean and Sabean) are Semitic languages that are similar linguistically. Farsi is an Indo-Iranian language, a grouping that includes Kurdish, Romani, and Sinhalese. [/quote]
