...And

No, I am not a terrorist nor a wife beater,
I don't live in a tent in a desert

I speak Farsi, not Arabic
Iran is pronounced "EERAUN" and not "I - ran" (it's not track & field)

News flash:  Iran and Iraq are two different countries ,
Middle east is a region and NOT a continent,
And camels are not our way of transportation.

Iranian women are just as outspoken (if not more) and liberal as the
European women,

Iran is the first country to have red white and green for a flag,
And still the best part of Middle East

I am from Iran, the country of beauty and lovely people. I used to live in amazing Tehran the shiny Tehran!
