It is not so that Iranians can wash their hands.  Iranians are NOT 
Arabs.  We have our own language, our own culture, and even our own 
dying religion, zoroastrianism.  Sadly, the Iranian government supports 
terrorism, but the Iranians in the US are escapees of this government, 
not its disciples.  Consider the fact that there are many Iranian Jews, 
Armenians, Bahai, Christians, etc. who fled religious persecution.  So, 
the story is deeper.
