Dear Mr. Zara,

Sorry I can not write to you in persian since I do not have the keyboard to do so. Regarding your article that iraqis are not arabs; first I do not give a darn whether anybody is an arab or not, that does not really matter, second of all Iraq was inhabited with arabian tribes long time before Islam, third of all teh grand father of all arabs Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is from Iraq (Oar) so what the hell are you talking about? I have many iraqi friends where I live and many brothers from all the arab world and you know what there is nobody that can tell me we do not belong to each other, we all live and very close in everything, if you are farsi or ashoori or kurdi then that is a different story. Again I really do not give a damn whether anybody is ara or not, anybody who says
he is not; is plainly and simply not worth it.
