Well, she's definitely Turkish. As a Turk who's travelled the Middle East, she could 100% differentiate between German, Persian, and Arabic (and Turkish). They are quite different and even with a small amount of knowledge you can tell the difference between Persian and Arabic.
So yeah, she was protecting her co-religionists AND her own job as a "refugee activist."
Persians absolutely hate being conflated with Arabs. In fact, I’m pretty sure their distinctive cultural identity is one of the reasons why Islam there didn’t manage to, erm, extinguish the language, among other things…
There’s much more commonality between Turkey and Persia/Iran, culturally and historically, than there is between, say, Iran and Saudi, or Turkey and, idk, Yemen…
It’s just that they all have Islam in common, and two out of three have oil. Beyond that…? Not much.
Of course, it gets even weirder and more complex with like, Albania, Macedonia or Bosnia (Islamicized Europeans), and then the second-generation emigrants from those places, or the whole Armenia/Azerbaijan thing…
In general though with Germany I think there’s a massive difference between mostly-assimilated Turks, and more recent Muslim immigrants…
A bit like with the enmity between “Assyrian” Orthodox Christians and recent Muslim immigrants, both in Sweden and Aus, lol… Even though they theoretically come from the same part of the world originally…
Turkey got basted. Move along shitizen.
