One day people will wake up to the fact that its the Arabian Gulf and not Persian gulf.

For one thing all the contries in the gulf peninsula are arabic and not persian.

For a second thing, Persia no longer exists. It hasn't existed since the 1930s. It is Iran, so people better get with the times and also learn about the modern geopolitical landscape of the near east.

Other than that, its a good site although some of the Dubai pictures seem to have been stolen from copyrighted sites... :P

It must be called the Persian Gulf for a reason - Have a look at an Atlas as it might be good for you -

I dont't know what the Atlases of the Islamic Republic say.... Maybe that Iran is the sole master of the gulf or whatever...

But population of arabs his much more than that of the iranians in the area... Also Iran should get over itself... It lost against the Greeks of the faggot Alexander (yikes!) and it lost against Iraq and will lose again against the US if its not careful.... I support Iran and its quest for the nuke, and I like the Iranians I have met, but facts are facts....

OK there Mr. Brainiac.

1) I looked at the site and they called it Arabian Peninsula and not Persian. So you just shafted yourself. http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys ... rabian.htm

2) Dubai is not in Canada? Really?? Like I didn't know... Thanks for clarifying things for me... :roll:

3) If you had a bit bigger brain you might have bothered to find out what Liban means. It means Lebanese ya sucka... I am Arab and proud.

So why don't you go hide now...

1) FOR THE TENTH TIME IT IS CALLED THE PERSIAN GULF ...... nothing to be proud of , it is just what it is still called for whatever reason, I am just stating the facts....

2) I have nothing against Arabs or any other nationalities so you are safe- do not worry -

Anyway have a good life, I hope you find what you looking for , try some Bangladeshi forums maybe some african ones too as it apears that you have all the time in the world - once you run out of forums try to get out a little and meet people - might do you good......

1) No its not

2) That not what I see from your post... making fun of Bangladeshi and African forums... Get a clue...

Why don't you go back to Iran and become a mullah or something and launch idle threats against Israel and the USA, pretending to defend Palestine or something...

You don;t have to read it - I give up on this forum - it is full of brainless, rude, arrogant people from Canada for some reason - they should change the name of the forum and call it SADCANADIANSFORUM.COM

I am getting really bored with this conversation guys - The Gulf is called the Persian Gulf whether you like it or not --- by the way sniper it is gulf and not GULT - maybe you are the one who should get their eyes checked out.........

Once again I have nothing against Indian and African forums or people - It was just a suggestion.......

Have you ever heard of a typo? Thats whats Sniper420 did and its not the end of the world.. Sheesh! :shock:

I no longer feel like arguing with you because its like arguming with a mule... They will just get stubborn...

If you have nothing against Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshi's or Africans then do not make any demeaning suggestions towards them. Besides you are Iranian, which isn't much better...

Lol apparently this persian gulf/arabian gulf topic is quite controversial elsewhere as well...all answers can be found here :
http://arabian-gulf.info/

:P k whats in a name anyhow...but one things for sure, lots of things are named after erstwhile conditions....Siam is now Thailand, but we still have Siamese twins and Siamese cats...similarly the name India is derived from Indus, a river which now lies entirely in Pakistan...and Greenland is most decidedly not green...so its quite possible that the name Persian Gulf came about when Persia existed and was the most prominent in the region at the time the gulf was being named and hence the name persists till today...and well one end of the gulf is at Iran....

that said its equally valid that the Arabs refer to it as the Arabian gulf...people have different names for the same thing...the way many countries refer to themselves differently ie; Japan is Nippon, India is Bharat, Switzerland is Helvetia etc

K just bein a busybody here guys...can't resist a good discussion...no intentions of gettin caught in the flame war :)

Cheers,
Nik

This site was spoken about in bbc.co.uk website a while ago as part of an organized attempt by the Iranian government to maintain an archaic nomenclature of the gulf area... They are fighting a losing battle, hence the popping up of such sites.

Well written, albite from a distincly Iranian bias. But in any event, the Iranians can call it what they want and they can try I convice the rest of the world that they are right, but we Arabs, the true owners of the Arabian Peninsula and general gulf area know what it is really called and thats the end of the story for us.

PS - I bear no ill will towards Iran and I support it in many international issues since the fall of that tyrant of an American puppet shah.

No reason to call people names if they annoy you !! people stop doing this normally when they are about 7-8 years old ..... besides I do not see any problems with overweight people nor shemales - they choose to lead a life they like and has nothing to do with you or me. Muslems should learn to also respect those who are differnt to them....
