::I am unsure as to how you use the label Iranian interchangeably with the label of Persian. Are Arab-Iranians also Persians? Geber should belong in a list of Iraqi scientists or Arab scientists, not Iranian scientists. As for now, I will let it stay as long as he is clearly identified as an Arab of Yemeni origins in both this article and in the List of Iranian scientists. Also, please try to see where the anonmyous user is coming from on this article. At the beginning this article described Geber as a Persian and had no mention of him being Muslim. It is a source of great pride for many Arabs that the "Father of Chemistry" is in fact an Aboriginal Arab from the peninsula. Regards, [[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 01:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Jaber is also of great pride for Persians. And Iraq did not exist in the 8th century. [[Ctesiphon]], capital of Persia, was in what today is Iraq. Nevertheless...
'''Let's agree that he was both Arab and Persian'''. I think that is perfectly reasonable and fair, and avoids an ugly war of racism from starting here.--[[User:Zereshk|Zereshk]] 01:38, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
