You are right.. As per some theories, Persians took revenge Islam / Arab, by introducing new practices nearer to their old religion. Even Second Khalifa Hazrat Omar (RA) is believed to be killed by Persian slave Feroz aka Abu lulu.. Some people believe that Baba Shuja’s tomb in Iran’s city Qum (which is revered by Shia Muslims) is the tomb of that Persian slave Feroz.

Iranians whom I met (too few for sample size) used to call themselves Persians than Iranians, they even had enough knowledge about ancient Mesopotamia civilization and even claimed to be descendent of them. Rise of Islam didn’t change the ethno-linguistic struggles between the empires of the region. the east-west relation changed marginally, the rivalry of Catholic church versus orthodox church turned into catholic versus Islam, the major impact of rise of Islam. I suppose, had effect mainly on India:)
