Yes, you see arabic sounds more like "muhumma saleen mahadishu habab! kaseem kaseem aliba hafir! Yahaz ali nebbeb akbar mahaz di yahaleen"

whereas farsi sounds like, "maha yek shaha hoda karifa. shalom nafar yazda mor nefu kareemi. Yahalez haffez char fahali sammem mireet mor hobam."

Just to clarify.

And many Iranians are Christians. They have to hide it in Iran, but not once they come to the US. In late 1990s I helped out with a small Iranian church in the Los Angeles area. I learned a few words of Farsi during my time there. And was introduced to Salad Olivier (which is great on lavash) and saffron rice made with basmati rice. I still have the recipes and make them...well, the lavash I buy at the store.

One thing that I thought remarkable is that when they said "Jesus" in Farsi, it sounds like "Esau" (Jacob's brother in Old Testament). I asked them if Jesus is pronounced Esau, then what is the Farsi name for Esau? But I never got the answer.
