`)  :: You're both right and wrong. If you believe that we've ``Persianized`` Arabian mathematicians/scientists other than Geber and Alhazen then please name them and prove otherwise (that they are Arabs), if not, then quite simply, your argument is unfounded. You're right in that even if you could argue that Alhazen was Iranian (e.g. Sassanid influence in Basra) it still would not mean that he was ``Persian``. I believe that there's more going in favour of Geber being a Persian than Alhazen.  (UTC`
