1. "Holland's Persians" likely constitute 0.00000000000001 % of Iranians. In other words, they are not numerically significant - not in Holland and not in Iran.
2. And who polled all of "Holland's Persians"? Nobody. The article that says "Holland's Persians" are in favor of the Syrian civil war has no right to speak on behalf of all Iranians in the Netherlands (the correct name of that country). A more accurate title to the article that preceded this one would have been "a small fringe group of Iranians support the Free Syrian Army."
3. It is true that some Iranians (a tiny minority) support fringe terrorist groups and are eager to serve foreign powers: Mrs. Rajavi has proved that premise time and time again; so has Jundallah, the Saudi-backed terror group suicide bombing Iranians in Sistan-&-Baluchistan province. They both support the "Free Syrian Army."
4. No sane Iranian supports Al-Qaeda: The "Free Syrian Army" means they are free to throw innocent postal workers off of buildings to their death. The US, Israel and NATO would love to see if they can pull off a similar movement in Iran.
Just make sure you are prepared for this type of scene in Tehran if you support the rampant propaganda on the internet that is calculated to soften people into the idea of starting revolts and a civil war in Iran (for the undisclosed benefit of foreign powers).

Iran has been called Iran since antiquity: I actually know how to read some Pahlavi and Avestan (Do you think the term "Iranshahr" is new? ) Only in the West was Iran primarily known as "Persia" (Pars was the historical province and seat of government in antiquity ... Pars + ian = "Persian" with the "a" changed to an "e" in Greek). That's fine: There's no problem with the name Persian (many countries have informal names: e.g., Germany / Deutschland )
The problem is pretending that Iranians/Persians support the Free Syrian Army - an Al-Qaeda based terror group.
Do you know what people would say in Iran if you said "I support the FSA"? Good lord son - a handful of exiles in Holland don't speak for Iran.

The etymological root of "Persian" is "Pars" ... I know that
by MaryamJoon on Sun Sep 09, 2012 05:57 AM PDTThat's not the point. The point is that when you write an article, and 4 dingbats are standing on the street supporting the "Free Syrian Army" (Al Qaeda), real reporting requires an honest title like:"A fringe minority of Iranians (5? 10?) support the "Free Syrian Army."
Check Out the mening of PERSIAN and then make Nonsense Comment!
by Pejman7 on Sun Sep 09, 2012 05:38 AM PDTDear Maryam joun, you are completely out of line. No one is pro-civil war. In English, the historical name of Iran is Persia and naturaly Persians = Iranians as well.
For example for "Gorbe-haye Iraani" we use Persian Cats so are we promoting a civil war in among the cats in Iran?!! hahahaha - Same for Persian carpet (Farshe Iran) or Persian Empire (Empraturie Iran)... check out the meaning of PERSIA in English and then write such nonsense things:
