First of all, POP is right.
Secondly, in order to create a Prince of Persia movie, there should be an accurate portrayal of Persians, which includes the differentiation of Persians and Arabs. The POP Movie should reflect Persians as who they believe they are, namely Aryans. To compare Persians and Arabs is like comparing Japanese and Chinese, if you present a movie set in China but have the actors speak Japanese and write Japanese then I'm sure in every viewer's mind the movie would be discredited.
The Persian Arab thing is exactly the same but generally people (Non- Near Easterners) have ignorance towards the subject. I believe if the Movie hits it's mark, then people would be better informed about the difference instead of being ignorant.
Third, the Aryan migration theory is widely accepted by scholars and by Persians, you don't have the right to discredit what Persians view as their identity.
Lastly, great job Pop for defending your comments and in fact I wrote a letter to UbiSoft criticizing them for their use of Arab music and wording.
I'm Persian, I'm Aryan, and I don't believe anyone has the right to discredit what I know I am.
