Can you name one single movie of Hollywood which was not offensive to
Persians? or Let me ask my question the other way, Can you name a movie that
has been made about any of Persian heros? A movie about Cyrus the great? a
movie about Dariush the great? a movie about Ariobarzanes? A movie about
Surena? and the list goes on.

Well, history says he was. Further homosexuality originated from Greece. No
one can deny that Alexander burnt Perspolis and killed many innocent
Persian, so much for an angel.

Artists can be free to do whatever they want as long as they do not try to
make bogus!
