Iran’s reputation is taking a nosedive in the Arab world due to its sectarian meddling and the perception that it does not promote peace in the Middle East, according to a new IBOPE Zogby International poll.

The poll was conducted on behalf of the Arab-American Institute (AAI) Foundation. AAI founder and President James Zogby tells Newsmax the poll shows that Iran’s popularity in the region is “plummeting.” Zogby attributes Iran’s ratings slide to its “manifestly sectarian and aggressive” policies, he says.

Is a right wing site with strong NeoCon leanings. Just have that in mind when you read it.

is that when IRI tried to join the Arab League they got the finger. We must accept that Iran never was and is not going to be popular among Arabs. I still think our real friends are: Armenia; Pakistan; Many Afghans. With Turkey on the fence at least not an enemy.

were never popular among the Arabs. But IRI was popular among Arab masses because of its perceived standing up to West and USA in particular. After all if Iran was popular why did the vast majority of Arabs including Palestinians back Saddam.

The racism we are so often accused of is far worse among Arabs. One reason is that Iranians did not become Arabs post Islam. In fact we invented our version of Islam. Which they for most part do not even accept as Islam.

This is nothing surprising but West is trying to destabilize IRI. The NeoCon in particular want to sow dissent. Their big problem is while not popular Iran still beats both Israel and America in popularity by a vast amount.

Is more being used by the Western countries making it look as though the Iranians are the ones doing it.This,my friend,is the only card left with the Western world, and particularly USA to cause rift in Iran's growing relationship with the neighbouring Arab countries.You are gropping in darkness and are making a deliberate attempt to portray the Iranians on secterian grounds.

Very informative, indeed.  Thank you.  Regional popularity is very important to stabilize a country.  Is there any difference between Iran and IRI? Daaaaa.  We really don't think that as soon as we call "Iran" our Arab neighbors remember the glory of the Persian Empire!!

p.s. until this moment I didn't know you had your own blog.  You did it all by yourself:)  Sweet.
