"What makes you assume Christiane is of Persian stock? In fact many Iranians are Arabs."

"Many" is a relative term. Some 03% of Iranians are Arabs. 03% is statistically insignificant, being at or below the usual margin of error. Total Population: 65,619,636 (July 2000 est.) which equals 1,968,589.08, to be precise. Arabic is spoken by approximately 01% of Iran's population.

That's hardly "many"; "some" or "a few" would be far more accurate...but accuracy isn't your long suit, is it, S-slithe?

Get an education, Schleprock.
