Huwala: Ethnic Persians from Iran or Ethnic Arabs from Iran?

This article has a long history of original research; there's a 2009 refimprove (and was another back in 2007 that was removed without cause).

We now have a situation where the cite in the lead (and indeed the only cite) says they're Arabic-speaking Persians, with no mention of Arab ethnicity. This disagrees with the article, which says they're Arabs. Anyone able to provide inline references for this article? Bromley86 (talk) 11:07, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a source that differentiates between ethnic Arabs from Iran and ethnic Persians from Iran, although it doesn't specifically mention Huwala.[1]^: 7–8 It's sourced from The Arab Shia; The Forgotten Muslims. Bromley86 (talk) 10:49, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic name

Just machine-translated الهولة. Does it really mean "monster"? Bromley86 (talk) 11:27, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
