If we review the history of great wars of the last century only , the trigger was nationalism, nations were fighting other nations for their own interests, I think the belief that one race or nation is superior to another is just a disease, because pan nationalism consists of a set of instructions that a nation must unite in one country even by invading and taking control over all lands and regions where members of one's nation live, then start to exterminate minorities, Pan Iranism follows the same sick ideology, there are Iranians who call themselves Pans (pan iranist) suffering from the delusion of superiority, but Iranian true patriots have always rejected Pan's idea, Pan Iranism philosophy is based on an illusion of greater Iran dreaming of an old iran, therefore Pans are different than patriots!
what does it mean to be a patriot Iranian then?
some people argue that Pan iranism is the same as patriotism but I will call it a destructive attitude only ,
Now a days Pan iranism is only a movement to oppose islam not defending Iran , Pans think that "if you not my kind then your loyalty must be opposite to mine"..don't you think this kind of attitude is in opposition of democracy itself?
During Iran Iraq war Iranian patriots showed their true love and loyalty to iran, where were those pan Iranists? why did they escape form the battle ground when it was time for them to prove their loyalty and love towards Iran??
many Iranians from different ethnics and tribes put their lives on the line to serve their land and their islamic identity!
the same question: where were Pans sense of duty to defend their country from foriegn invaders?
what we want is constructive and progressive patriotism to protect us from systematic conspiracies.
