Since the 1960's, there has been a dispute on the name of the body of water that is located between Iran ( Persia ) & the Arabian Peninsula.
Some call it the Arabian Gulf, while others use the Persian Gulf.
Both names are correct.
The term the Arabian Gulf is the original name of the Red Sea, while the Persian Gulf is the original name given to the sea between Iran ( Persia ) & the Arabian Peninsula, by early Islamic Muslim geographers.
For a short while in the 17th century, the term "Gulf of Basra" was also being used, which made a reference to the town of Basra in Iraq.

It is true we are speaking different dialects; it is true we believe in different religions. Some of us are blonde, some are dark. Some see the Mediterranean, others the Read Sea, others the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and others the Arabian Sea or the Persian Gulf.
But do all these things make different people of us?! When we speak different dialects we are in fact speaking the same language, when we believe in different religions, we are in fact worshiping one God. When I look at the Mediterranean, the Read Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arabian Sea or the Persian Gulf I look at our history, and I remember that in struggling we struggled together, in agony we suffered together and in victory we celebrated together.

Fady had to make the evaluation today because he will go to “Deep Purple” concert. Wadee’ told him on Thursday that he will make it today (Saturday). He didn’t really get a chance to prepare but he made a very good evaluation. Here it is for all the people who couldn’t watch it; He first enters holding (like) a mobile singing “nasiny eldonia” (talking to vivo hehehehe). Then he says that he is dreaming to talk for all that time not just a minute...
