calm down don't exert pressure when you can talk in normal tone anyhow i did provide evidence but i guess your idea of evidence is a photograph or a video tape showing shahrbanoo being dragged on sand by the arabs so ali knew persian eh i suppose you have evidence for this the page you asked me to click says ali knew persian and furthermore it quotes a shia hadith which claims the following masterpiece of comedy ali then came up to the princess and asked what is your name the princess replied the daughter of jahan shah ali said and so shahr banuyeh you will be called the bride of the land do you honestly believe that that claim is embarrassingly stupid so what evidence you have that ali knew persian and what evidence you have that shahrbanoo who was clearly captured by the arabs married hussayn willingly oh and for your good information there is plenty of solid historical evidence that her name was shahrbanoo and the arabs didn't gave her that name even if and arab knew some persian what are the chances they knew the difference between the double meaning of land country and city for shahr at any rate the zoroastrians also call her shahrbanoo and if her name was given by ali to her the zoros would have referred to her by her original name not by her allegedly arab given name besides didn't it occur to your brilliant mind that if ali was going to give her a name he would have given her an islamic name not a persian name feb utc
