Unlike Indian Muslims,Turks never surrendered their civilizational pride.Iranians never have Arab names,nor Turks.Because they are proud Persians and Ottamans respectively. But look at Bangladeshi,who goes by name "Mohammad bil yousof ",thinking that by keeping Arab sounding name he is holier than thou.In Mecca Arabs look down upon these Converts.They have separate tents in Madina. Why not?They are the true leaders and keepers of Empire called with Muhammad as founding father King.

I agree with you- my theory is that they act like that because they\'ve lost their identity and the attachness their forefathers who they betrayed by converting. A European converetd to Christianity but remain a European. A chinese adopted buddhism or Chritianity but remained esssentially chinese to the core. The Iranian got defeated in a battle between the persian empire and the Arabs- the consequence of this defeat was their conversion. Basically theire conversion is a reminder to them and their future generation of this defeat-from which the Persian empire never recovered to become the civilization it was was once. Basically if you loose your identity and who you are and what your ancestor was - you going to invent a golden past and an identity for yourself. Thats what we are seeing with muslim everywhere.

Very good bservations...I would like to add about Iran that...It is a SHIA country. Because it is Shia it is not supported by Sunni countries which are in majority througout the world.
