You know who was really good at portraying Middle Eastern-ers? Anthony Quinn. I wish someone like him could portray any future Middle Eastern roles.

Didn't Reza Aslan say that ancient Persians were whiter than present day Iranians? Jake is half Jew anyways.

It's worse, Italian and German are at least both Indo-European. Persian's Indo-European, Arabic's Semitic; totally unrelated.
Grayson Reed
Isnt Rumi lived in Turkey(anatolia)?
why would he speak arabic

it shouldn't be only realistic actors playing the roles, the dialogue should always be in the language it's supposed to be and not in english
Chase Sullivan
Lend words dont chage the family of the lenguage
Nolan Bailey

Thomas Baker
