A Rose By Any Other Name But Not .....

In another of those seemingly endless spats that the Iranians appear to love getting into, they have turned their ire onto Google, who have omitted the label 'Persian' from the body of water that separates Iran from Arabia ..... 

Gulf Of Fools

..... to be honest I have heard it described by either the term, Arabian or Persian, and not thought much about it, but of course, in the lands of the perfect religion, well these things matter.

Islamic Disunity Games

The Islamic 'Solidarity' Games, will not take place in Iran this April, after yet another row amongst the Ummah. Not content with the violence and mayhem carried out in the name of Islam, they can't even pretend to like each other (no wonder they hate the rest of us so much).

The row this time features on whether the "Persian Gulf" should be called the "Arabian Gulf", with the medals and logo's referring to the "Persian Gulf", but all the Arab countries call it the "Arabian Gulf", so they have boycotted the games.

These games are meant to strengthen ties amongst Islamic countries have only been held once in 2005, in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

Iran has long campaigned to ensure the body of water between Iran and the Arabian peninsula is known as the Persian, not the Arabian, Gulf.
