The Iranians don't like Omar. They claim that Omar and the Arabs destroyed old Persia by imposing monotheism, Islam and Arab culture onto a people who were polytheists, Zoroastrian and Aryan in culture ("Aryan" meaning European). In the 1950's after the coup of 1953, the Iranian Nazi Party known by the acronym S.U.M.K.A., and the Aryan League (both groups were pro-Shah and supported by him or by folks in his circle) re-emerged after the coup of 1953 since being outlawed when in 1941 the Soviets, the Brits and the Yanks occupied Iran. After '53, these groups were used by the state to go after Marxists, whom they believed to be agents of the USSR. In their program the Iranian Nazis, mainly from rich secular families, point out that Jews, Arabs (and Armenians) are contaminating Iran, and that Islam, Judaism and Christianity has no place in "the land of the Ayrans", which is what "Iran" means.

Regarding Omar and the Arabs, there is a book out by an Iranian writer titled, "Two Centuries of Silence":

Two Centuries of Silence (Persian: دو قرن سکوت‎‎ Do Qarn Sokūt) is a book written by Abdolhossein Zarrinkoub, a prominent scholar of Iranian culture, history and literature. The work is a historical account of the events and circumstances of the first two centuries of Islam in Persia (modern day Iran) following the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 7th century AD. The history covers the events from the invasion of the Arabs to the rise of the Tahirid Dynasty.
Zarrinkoub presents a lengthy discussion on the large flux and influence of the Arabs on the literature, language, culture and society of Persia during the two centuries following the Islamic conquest of Iran. Zarrinkoub discusses how the Arab/Islamic conquest was followed by almost "two centuries of silence" socially, culturally and politically by native Persians. Zarrinkoub describes the Arab conquerors as uncivilized, brutal, and unsophisticated during the Iranian "period of silence." Zarrinkoub penned the history during an era of Iranian nationalism and the text is widely recognized as a seminal source of Iranian history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Centuries_of_Silence


But as far as comparing the Arab conquest of Iran to that of European conquest of the Americas is laughable... and that's not what I'm doing here.
