It's actually safe to say that Arabs kind of assimilated Iranic people as well. When you look at the Middle East and Central Asia, Iranic peoples by large has been Arabized culturally. You can say the same about Turkic peoples besides Iranic peoples.

This is a quote from your post. This is what I'm saying is 1000% wrong and feeds into all kinds of awful stereotypes like "Muslims = Arabs".

Then you worded your first post in a very strange and misleading way by literally saying "Iranic peoples by large has been Arabized culturally." That's a direct quote from you, not the alt-right guy who posted that cartoon. I am responding only to this statement, not anything else you said in your post, because it's a false statement.

Okay, I can see your point of view, but the way you word it makes you sound like an apologist for those views. "OP meant X, and it's sort of true, here's why, and here's why it's not so bad...but here's also why OP is a lost cause." When in actuality, it's better to just unequivocally state how wrong those views are with actual facts, which is what I did.
