Zoroastrians of Iran Remember the Islamic Invasion

June 20, 2007 by pulkit

128_20_008.jpgIran has a sumptuous history and unparalleled cultural heritage, which is on a ventilator in present times. The Islamic regime in Iran has not shown much appreciation for the pre-Islamic history of Iran and its contemporary brand of nationalism takes no pride in those majestic times of yore. In fact, Iran has a written history that dates back to 3200 BC. Under Cyrus and Darius, Iran became the first superpower of the entire world that had been discovered till then.

Before the genesis of Islam, Iran was predominantly inhabited by Zoroastrians. The Zoroastrian faith emanated from the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster. Though there is little consensus over his lifetime, he is speculated to  have lived around a thousand years before Christ. The followers of this faith are few and wide apart. The faith slowly is counting the last of its breaths.

This grave state of Zoroastrianism was brought about by the Islamic invasion of Persia - the name for pre-Arab Iran - and the religious cleansing that followed. Many Zoroastrians were converted by the edge of the sword and many of them paid with their lives for dissent. Also it led to their exodus to places like India.

Today Zoroastrians are a close-knit community, their endangered status having brought them together. There are a few Zoroastrians in Iran and the rest mainly live in the U.S and India. Many of the few Zoroastrians that are left gathered in Chak Chak, Iran to remember the Islamic invasion of Persia and the heroes of that dark hour. One of those heroes was valiant Nikbanou, the daughter of the last king of Persia, who resisted the Islamic invaders.

“We have all gathered at this sacred place to pray Ahura Mazda,” he said, using the Zoroastrians’ name for God. “We are also here to remember Nikbanou and what happened to our ancestors by the Arab invaders.” [source]

Many Iranian Muslims take great pride in their pre-Islamic roots. But it is the government that continues to despise the Zoroastrian faith. After the Islamic revolution, life has become an ordeal for the Zoroastrians, Christians, Jews and Baha’is,  as the post-revolution governments have shown close to no tolerance for other faiths.

    hi, i like your site and agree with most of it, but there are some inherent untruths you have published in this blog; firstly, Persia has been the name of Iran before and since the Arab invasion, I believe in 1935 Reza Shah changed the name to Iran and then a few years later his son, Mohammad Reza Shah argued both names are appropiate to use. Secondly, Islam was not brought upon by the sword, it was indirectly imposed through tax incentives and cultural acceptance.

    Hi,

    Alireza, it pains to have sampled your narrow mindedness. I understand your indignation against a certain group of people, but do not label Islam as evil. In fact, whatever organized religion peolpe follow has shortcomings and phases. Just like Christianity, even Islam is witnessing its dark age. Every religion endures that cycle. Any organized religion that promises to give solutions for worldly problems, is not good enough. For all religions were meant to be unorganized and were aimed at raising people above this world. So, by promising solutions all your religions are delving deeper into the world, which is antithetical to their intrinsic purpose.

    Don’t execrate Islam or any religion or a particular race for your problems. These are mere excuses for your situations. Instead, spread love and widen your perspectives.

    Two people can argue till eternity about whether a glass is half full or half empty. So, don’t come up with excuses, as even the other people might be able to do the same with your race, culture, country and religion.

    The ubiquitous spirit be found……….Peace

    Dear Blogger
    I can feel the pain u have for the loss of your civilsation by the sword of Islam.We Hindus also faced the same wrath of Islam but we defeated them and hence India is still a hindu country.
    Have a little patience.Once again we shal unite and beat the bastards of (mother-fucker)Mohammad

    Dear Brahmin,

    I think you come from a different India than I do. Our country is supposedly built on the cornerstone of religious comity and tolerance, though subject to certain excursions from the main course preached by our founders and people like you can take credit for it. This blog doesn’t preach hatred towards Islam or any other religion. It is just our crusade against forces that have denied the Iranian country freedom and democracy for long its due.

    Your Dearest Blogger,
    PC - and Fuck you

    Hi ,

    I am so glad that india remained a hindu country despite muslims doing everything to convert it.Indians are not taught about what really happened to their ancestors ,Temples etc..but with the internet around n with efforts of many hindu scholars people are coming to know what ISLAMIC rule means n what will happen if we dont be united n fight.

    Well,

    Friends There is an increasing trend these days of Muslims world over reconverting back to their original religion and developing a very healthy interest in their original culture. Of course this doesnt include the Arabs!!!.

    So this will probably be the dawn of a new era. But what ever in this era Muslim fundalmentalism and non tolerance for other value systems must be firmly dealt with and no compromises on that.

    Secondly the history of pre islam times of various countried must be widely made available and lastly protection should be given to Muslims converting back to their original faith of their ancestors.

    RELIGION THAT GOT MILLIONS KILLED!!
    I am an indian. i was not against islam till i studied it. it is EVIL. full of treachery falsehood & back stabbing eg hudna.., I undertsand your pain but i must say in india persians are the most affluent people eg tata , godrej etc
    In India we almost have followers from all the religion. At the same time hinduism has many evils too, i cant deny that Brahmin cast in india fecked our country & made us so weak that we have been invaded & conquered many times.
    majority of muslims in india prefer their religion then their country now here the difference comes. muslim majority areas celeberate, fire crackers when india loses a cricket match against pakistan. they want to make india an islamic state as it was DAR-E-ISLAM.

    Great is Ahuramazda,
    When Persians reject islam, arabs have no where to hide their swords, that is the end of islam.
    So moslem arabs are doing their worst to keep Iran islamic, this is futile, islam will be buried in the sand dunes of arabia soon; no evil thoughts will prevail.

  9. Posted by Papia on November 27, 2008

    There are two religions in the world now: Islam and Non-Islam. Islam says, if one can’t convert a non-muslim then he should kill that non-muslim. So we are letting them do that because we non-muslims are timid mice. We lend our other cheeck when a muslim slaps on one. Wake up non-muslim mice before they kill us all. Is Jihad their birth right? Learn from them.

    Hey,

    I am Dravidian from south India.I like zorastrians much because we Tamils and Parsians having long relations for aleast 3000 years.Our TAMIL Pallava Kings are Mixture of Dravidian and Persian Culture and Blood.Persian and Tamil Artistic works which 2000 Years old are still their in Mahapalipuram near Chennai.

    Kanchepuram is another great place Where Persian Tamil Culture in its Peak. Zorastrians are the Masters of Weaving.

    What ever weaving technology we had 100 years back in india was given by Persians but before Islam.You know,we have a world famous silk Weaving community in Kanchipuram are the ones Persian and Dravidian Bloods mixture.(Might be persian and dravidian are same but different name because of Place)

    Even you can see great zorastrian society in Madurai,Tamilnadu are famous for their artistic works.

    Persians are the first peoples who affected by Islamic Invasion.My dear persians lost their prides because of semitic Islam,But I know Mr.Ahmedijinad,president of Iran is secretly following Zorastrianism by following the foot steps of 12th Incarnation of Zorastrian Sage as i read in some news papers. I like him too much and his knowledge and I BELIEVE One day persia AGAIN will get its pride and fame back.

    Mohammed is a Barberian Arab Cult and follower of Him is Just nuts and losers at final.

    Im glad that the world over people are awakening to this inherently evil, aggressive and dominating political system called Islam which has two faces for every situation and yet promoting its own agenda to domiante the whole world with force of the sword or other repressive means. This is happening in my country Pakistan as well where systemaically the other religious minorities have been sidelined and opressed. Hindu and Christian girls are raped and forced to convert. We who live under this repressive religion know how the muslims spread their religion.

  16. Posted by INDIAN on February 7, 2009

    YES, ITS TRUE. ISLAM HAS NO RESPECT FOR OTHER BELIEFS. ONLY HINDU RELIGION IN THE WORLD IS READY TO ACCEPT THE NEW IDEAS AND HINDUS ARE ALWAYS IN SEARCH OF TURTH BY “TAPASYA”, “SAMADHI”, “YOG” ETC. BUT ISLAM SAYS ONLY QURAN IS LAST & RIGHT. IF MUSLIMS WORSHIP “ALLAH” WHY THEY ARE ALWAYS DIRECTED TO “MAKKA”, THE BIRTH PLACE OF MUMMHAD DURING NAMAJ.THEY WORSHIP ALLAH OR MOHAMAD?????????????????

    those who created the site is a terrorist attacking on islam and muslims first of you go throw the islamic rules and beliefs even though when muslims attacked on iran they never killed any innocent or females or children or oldage persons. before islam war is exploiting the poor and weaker people but islam had given the morals in the war and what is going on at present in muslim countries against the christian world is because of our struggle for existence don’t put blame simply or with half knowledge

    i fell actually sorry for all those people who put forward such accusations against ISLAM….anybody who actually has stdudied ISLAM…will never make such statements as our brothers indian,john, venkat etc..u people are ignorant..so you have no right to make any such comments about ISLAM…its not going to make any difference to the mUSLIMS by u saying that, but it just shows how ignorant and non tolerant ypu people are in person…and if you really want to comment about ISLAM…go but the QORAN(english translated) and if anywhere you find there is written that we muslims can force people to change there religion….i swear on all mighty GOD ALLAH..il change my religion that moment.

    the answer to my brother INDIAN…we muslims direct ourselves towards the mekka while offering namaz because its just a direction given by ALLAH to pray…so that we all unitedly can face towards one direction and pray…oderwise if u go into a mosque ther are 1000s of people nd everybody will choose a different direction to pray…so to unite us towards one direction we have been given the direction of mecca. i hope u will actually think before speaking such foul things about ISLAM.

    Dear Indian Muslim,

    The article was never written with any malice towards any faith and it is a stand i, the author, will never take. I believe in religious tolerance, though readers may have different views. However, i appeal to people from different religions to practice their faith with great pride inside their homes, but set foot outside as humans with their religion powering their life from the comforts of their mind. Let us for a moment forget all superficial differences. We are one and all fissures on the visage of this planet are an illusion.

    To Indian,

    I really feel you should not say that. It just shows to us how stupid you are. You are talking with no basis. Don’t compare other religions with yours. We have different faith. You have many gods like ganesh and what so ever, but we just believe in Allah. So we totally have different faith. But i do respect your faith, as in what Islam tell me to do.So we just simply respect each others so we can live in peace.
    May be you don’t know the fact why we are facing Makkah during namaz (pray), but i guess my brother ‘indian muslim’ have given good explanation. So for that, please make it clear of your self. You can ask if you don’t know, but PLEASE don’t make such a stupid statement.

    Hey indian muslim, I think you have not read Quran thats why you are challenging others to read it. If you don’t see islam as an evil religion JUST TAKE THE CHALLENGE OF ALI SINA at faithforfreedom.org. And out of all the comments he had made on muhammed I am totally agreeing that Muhammed was a Torturer and mass Murderer since I have read the story of Muhammed ordering his henchman to
    put heated nail on some peoples eyes which I read in hadith. The hadith was provided by a Muslim friend of mine from Turkey. I haven’t read the whole book since I don’t have any interest in reading books or novels even if its very interesting

  24. Posted by stanley on August 26, 2009

    to Indian Muslim:
    Did you know that Muhammad replaced Jerusalem with Mecca as the direction to pray to - maybe you should ask yourself why?
    To all those Muslims who think their religion is true, please look at the practices of Arabs before Islam came and after Islam…..you are just following the Arabs religion under a new name.

  25. Posted by stanley on August 26, 2009

    The Jews will win and Israel will survive.
    To all those who hate Israel and the Jews, please do yourself a favour and read a bit of history….you will never destroy this nation! It has been tried too many times too count- all failed.
    The one thing you can say about your so-called god allah ( a re-invention of hubal) - is that he needs a lesson on warfare - 1948,1956,1967,1973….
    Who was it that said ‘..have no Jew as a friend…”
    To non - arab muslims: your ancestors were forcefully converted to this demonic religion- if it was done voluntarily by free choice that is another matter….. by agreeing with the tenets of islam what you are doing is just as terrible as those who forced your ancestors to convert - you are an accomplice to their crimes…so before you defend islam take a look at history first - maybe you did not know about this, but now you have no excuse….
    that goes for any religion that forces conversion by any means on others.
    Freedom of choice means freedom of religion as well……can you imagine this scene:

    you are taken back in time of your ancestors and you witness what those Muslim invaders did to your forefathers….what would be your reaction?

  26. Posted by stanley on August 26, 2009

    As for those who want to compare religions - the only rod of measurement is TRUTH,
    if it is true believe it - if not discard it…nobody after investigation of his belief system will blindly follow it if he discovers it is not true, but that his practice has been dictated by tradition….

  27. Posted by stanley on August 26, 2009

    Remove the fear factor from your lives my Muslim friends.Every Muslim that I personally know has this dread of hell if he says anything negative about Muhammad or his religion - EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT BE TRUE.
    He is forced by FEAR to the extent of lying and even violence to defend Islam….
    fellow Muslim friends - do not fear, believe and practice the TRUTH - if someone wants to leave Islam out of a personal desire to do so - let it be - you are not greater than God - who does not need you to force that person to recant or need you to murder that person. ONLY THE DEVIL BEHAVES THAT WAY. God is Love - and he loves all His creation - if anyone thinks he or his religioon is superior let him prove by a life of superior level of love - which is about giving, helping even sacrificing your life for others - not taking anothers life!!

    Brothers n sisters,let us be more giving than demanding.The fact is that islam was spread on sword.muslims thinks they are better than other faith.Those conqured were constanly made to fear there masters.ARABS.look? moslims builds mosques all over the world.but we cant put a church or a temple in Arabia why?.The problem with Hinduisn is segregation.true God would never classify people.Jesus is the way then.

    To camca,

    That’s rich coming from you! Maybe you should not make stupid assumptions either!

    Quote from your comment:
    “You have many gods like ganesh and what so ever, but we just believe in Allah.”

    If you knew anything about Hinduism, People of the vedic culture, then my friend you would know that all these gods that you refer to are part of ONE GOD, yes ONE god.

    It’s a popular belief amongst non hindus and ignorant hindus themselves that think there are millions of gods. Which is false.

    ALSO I shall add to this that many muslims seem to think ISLAM is a religion of peace, but history contradicts this again and again!

    One is and would be foolish to think that islam was spread peacfully!

    At the time when the arabs had come to the borders of ancient persia and india, islam was spread by the sword! FACT! MASS conversions were done by force not by choice! Get converted or die!

    The islamic extremists you have in this day and age have the same mentality as the islamic crusaders 1000 years ago! Who spread islam by fear and by the sword.

    I know these guys love their facts!

    It is mind boggling how muslim people seem to think islam is a peaceful religion! A religion that almost wiped out Zorastrianism! Shocking.

    I will say this that not all muslims are bad!

    Also mecca was an ancient hindu pilgrimage site, but this was pre islam!

    Peace

    FYI there is new anti-Islamic book which lampoons the early tenets of Islam. Press Relief is below, if the sample pages or pictures of Mohammad and Fatima do not transmit they can be obtained at Amazon.com

    Did you know that Mohammad was a perverted, drunken pimp who was ” too stupid and incompetent to run a fig and cocoanut stand, never mind an army or religion”.

    The brand new book, available on Amazon.com, humorously slanders the purported early tenets of Islam. Many Islamic extremists and terrorists might not appreciate the lampooning of the religion (or the pictures of Fatima and Mohammad on the front and back covers of the book), but this book is a challenge to the extremist who seem to demand that American Freedom of Speech does not apply to them and that the world must kowtow to their brand of religion while they are free to trash all others.

    How Fatima Started Islam: Mohammad’s Daughter Tells It All by Noor Barack

    Noor Barack, the author does wish to publicize the book; however the author must recognize that a Fatwa will be issued as soon as the book reaches the Terroristic Islamists and must have enhanced security. Therefore the author will receive email at britbilton@yahoo.com for a short period. If one wishes to talk via telephone please email a telephone number of a specific person to be called. Thank you, also if the book’s front cover did not transmit it can be easily seen at Amazon.com which is the only outlet currently selling “How Fatima Started Islam: Mohammad’s Daughter Tells It All.

    This is such a fascinating discussion! Its true, Islam has a bloody history. I have not actually studied Islam or Hindu, and I have only the shallowest understanding of Zoroastrianism. However, I do know that whatever a religion may teach, there are always a few followers who interperet it incorrectly in some way or just take it WAY too far (including mine)! I know that Jesus preached love, understanding, forgiveness, and peace, yet Catholic Europeans Crusaded violently against Islam in the Middle East. I often encounter people who claim to be Christian, but plainly don’t know or don’t care about what Jesus actually taught. Its very frustrating, and gives true Christians a bad name.
    I say this because, as I said, I imagine that its true for every major religion.

  32. Posted by Amir Ali Tayyab on March 20, 2010

    Here’s my Review of the Book “How Fatima Started Islam: Mohammad’s Daughter Tells It All” written by a fake American guy who calls himself Noor Barack (probably trying to mock Barack H. Obama) and published by Camel Flea Press (having no offices or a website, as if depicting so many camels ready to enjoy a feast in a flea market)

    Obviously the author, the book and everything else alike is doomed to fail just as their predecessors in a desperate effort to ignite nothing but violence and hatred. And rest assured as Salman Rushdie did not represent the whole British people, similarly this sick writer and publisher does not represent Americans. These childish and coward attacks on people and their beliefs will never stop as there are many unemployed, impoverished and aimless people in this world having nothing else better to do in life. Pathetic waste of a life-time!

    Let us work towards creating a better world where we can divert such sick people’s attention towards their own betterment via some psycho therapies or educate them towards something else that positively contributes towards the humanity instead of such people’s intellectual lives ending up as proud “martyrs” of freedom to hurt anyone freely behind a wrongly-advertised concept of “freedom”.

    The true freedom will happen only when we will help such publishers and writers to realize it. Such sick people are only having the “weakest” shot at destroying the very freedom which this writer/publisher tried to use to spread hatred via books like this or many others. Such sick ones don’t even deserve a “dialog” cause it will be like giving all the opportunity to the rapist to talk to his/her victim. Only repenting, proper medical/psychological attention and positive direction of life can help such sick minds.

    I think I have a suggestion for the author and publisher. If you guys are really that much anti-Muslims, why dont’ you try to open an office, build a website, hire people and work via an organized effort? You already took that much pain to write the book, published it via a fake publishing house and distribute it online or offline. Let’s see how far can your “freedom” to hurt people’s beliefs go without being challenged in a court of law anywhere in the world.

    Why did I write that long “REVIEW”? Well, it was NOT meant for any such sick, deaf or absurd people like the publisher or writer. It was meant for all those Muslims who they tried to target. Let me give you an example. There is this beautiful full moon. And someone who is so much ashamed of his/her own terrible-looking face, feels jealous about the beauty of moon. So, s/he decides to spit on the moon. But guess what? Moon is like 238,857 miles away from the very earth s/he stands and his/her spit can travel max 12 feet, dependent upon the strength of the lungs which must have been obviously weakened by a lot of anti-depressants, sleepless nights and drugs abuses i.e. weed, etc.

    So, my dear author and publisher, congrats!!! Here’s to your success in getting a fame which is obviously going to be very short-lived and serve as the ONLY embarrassment to your fore-fathers and generations to come. But hey, don’t worry, I did enjoy writing all this REVIEW “without” even giving a single read to your crap beyond reading the FIRST page out of TWO HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR PAGES (ewww… that’s a lot). Please, please, please, try giving at least ONE shot at growing up mate(s)!

    Peace!

  34. Posted by ron on March 31, 2010

    The concept that all religions are equal is an utter fallacy. You must study the generally dualistic nature of all the abrahamic faiths, but islam in particular. The koran is a well outlined manual on the conversion of all non-muslims to islam whether by force or through deception.

    “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them
    2:191 And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers”

    So much for the self-designated “Religion of peace”.
    There is peace only as long as non-muslims submit to islam whether by actual conversion or for other monotheists payment of the jizyah tax, that is until the muslims enough political power to simply do away with you. Look at what is happening to the copts in egypt, for example. Look at what happened to all the non-muslims in Pakistan and Bangladesh in terms of numbers, not skewed second-hand anecdotal recollections. Islam will not be stopped until it is put down by force. Force is the only concept which islam understands and embraces. By the way polytheists under islamic rule don’t even get a chance to pay the jizyah they are simply slaughtered en masse for their beliefs.

    Can anyone tell me which branch of Islam the Arabs brought to Persia in the 7th century AD? Was this Shia Islam, or Sunni Islam?

  37. Posted by Bettie on July 29, 2010

    Keith, it was Shia Islam.
    But Shia or Sunni…it’s all savagery, aggression, intolerance….
    I was a convert to Islam years ago, so I know what I’m talking about. Islam is not just another religion. It is an extremely dangerous political ideology. I came out of the darkness and I hope this will happen for millions of others. Non-Muslim PC “hearts & flowers” types: Please understand. There is no negotiation or compromise in Islam. The Muslims will mistake your kindness for weakness and run right over you. And it will be too late for people like me to say “told you so.”

    The Zoroastrian religion is alive and well, and growing. In our Religion there is no racial discrimination. Ours is a religion of choice.AhuraMazda is our Lord who through progressive thought ever guides us. Our creed is a simple one. Good words, good deeds and good actions. There is no totalerian theocracy.
    Islam is a brutal intolerant religion,with one goal in mind. A religious jahid. Islam was born in violence, and it will die a violent death. Ours is a God of love and justice. The Muslim Prophet and God are merciless, bloody butchers.

    wat abt someone who has d name Adil n is working in an islamic country n needs to ensure he is not a muslim. someone who when tells he is a zorastrian, people dont know wat he is talking abt. upon telling it is a religion from iran/ persia, they associate him with muslims who actually forced them to leave. moreover very few people(non indians) know abt zorastrians. this is all because the way Zorastrian was wiped from Iran was so bad that it left very little or no trace. mine is a peaceful n a simple religion. never interfering with nyone. and so am i as a person. i have very close muslim friends who i felt hurt when they tried to convert me. upon asking i understood they get bonus points(sabab) for that. i am leaving the country soon now. but thru out my life i shall not be closely assosiated with any of them.

    well islam has been Irans loss and Indias gain . The nuclear Bomb Iran is trying was indeed made by a Parsi scientist . India had the capability way back in 1965 . As Nehru once asked Dr. Homi Jahangir Bhabha ….In how many days can you give me the device he said 5 months and how many Bhabha said 20 Nehru said dont make it and if you do …do tell me.Tragically Dr Bhabha died in 1968 in a plane crash but he is the father of Indian Nuclear programme . Anothers are the TATA Clan , SHFJ Manekshaw and many more .

    And indeed Iran would have been a powerhouse if Shah would have been there , his only problem was he loved his people too much he doled money in scholarships for Iranians build universities but strangely a man who said while on his way back when asked “how do you feel coming back to Iran after exile ” said Nothing well thats Mr Khomeini LOL and the mass murders done during his regime oh god and more dangerous is this Khamenei he is sucking Iran dry out with his son and backed by that monkey Ahmadinijad who is a joke on Iran as a nation. Well Iranian society is a mockery everyone lives with a dual faced personality one with the regime and other detesting it and they know Reveloution was the gravest mistake and the way the Mullahs are controlling it seems there is no future of a change unless or until a miracle happens . Now thats Islam being practised in true sense its all hipocracy See these Arabs once their plane is in the Air Champagne starts flowing ha ha .Also why Mecca the only place to be visited well a brilliant afterthought of minting money . The segregation and to some part hatred experienced by people of other nations going to HAJ is well known .
    In the End India is the only place in the world where all the relegions have coexisted . And if the Arabs where able to win wars it was due to deciet betrayal back stabbing. Take Pakistan a clear ROGUE nation mother to most of the evils in modern world . SIN IS THE ISLAMICS SALVATION

    Also I agree with RON , Bettie that Muslims take your kindness for weakness when Indians started their tactics they had no where to run . In kargil war one Pathan wanted to see a Gurkha soldier after he was taken as POW and he was shocked to see a fivefoot man who had butchered their comrades simply chopping their heads with KHUKHRI in hand to Hand combat . Gurkhas are their match and they have proved to be the best soldiers hope Americans change their law and start recriuting them in their Army and forget the war laws for some years and its for sure they shall wipe out these beasts from the face of EARTH

    Hi,

    I’m indian hindu and i read abt zorostrian faith and it seems we do have a lot of traditions in common. In india, we have parsis who are descendents of zorostrians who escaped islamic atrocities in persia. It’s sad to see the religion of Persian Empire dwindling. Islam is a cancer and will die in the same desert shit holes from which it came out.

    im a persian living in india following zoroastrianism.Our religion has always been peaceful.I have no grudges against any religion except for muslims.bloody idiots dont have words such as kindness,love,affection etc in their dictionary.they just have the word cruelity in their minds.I dont care if some muslims are good all i wish is that someday religion muslim will be wiped of the world just like they are doing to us zoroastrians.They should be brutally tortured.Any crimes that happen there has to be a muslim associated with it.You guys suck man go get a life you bitched and die..Im sorry if i hurt anyones sentiments but this is all i wish..And love u all my fellow zoraostrians in IRAN

    Dear All Zorastrians.

    In the Sacred name of Devine Ahura Mazda, I promise that His radiance will be blooming ever ane ever in the hearts of Millions of Parsees and Hindoos.

    I and My father(in fact I am inspired by my father) have a firm faith in Jorashtrianism. My father often says that Zorashtrians and Hindus are the brothers of the same mother living in different houses. My father knows how to perform Yasna.

    We hindoos, have tremendous faith in you. We have unforbidden and unending love and respect to Ahura mazda, Lord Zarathustra and Zand Avesta. I have some pdfs of Zand Avesta. I read them when i get time.

    How can We Indians forget the Contributions of farsee(zorashtrians) like, Jamshed Ji Nessarwan Tata, Rattan Tatas, Mehtas, Dr.Homi J Bhabha, Attarny General Soli Sorabji, My favor actor Bomman Iran and many more people.

    There are thousand families of zorashtrians in india today happly leaving in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Delhi and Parts of Goa and Div and Daman.

    Do not worry. We indians are with you. For us You are also indians. We will be with you for ever and ever and and ever.

    After reading the Quran there is no doubt in my mind that indeed much of the religion is built on force supression of others rights and highhandedness. I wonder how islamic scholars do not acknowledge that which ius obvious. But a bigger truth lies in the fact that violence and apathy cannot be eradicated and combated by return violence. Religion is a very personal communion with our own god …….so practice it in the confines of your homes.when in society you r not a Hindu Muslim etc you are just a human being. just be a good one!!!

    See those who forget their ancestors they are already dead. See the history of India and hindus before Islam came to India we were one of the best country like Persia. Unfortunately Persian were not able to save their old identity but we hindu anyhow saved ourselves. To save ourselve we hindus paid the price also for example some parts of India converted into Muslims like Panjab (PAk), Sindh etc.
    Now withing 50 years India is developing and going very fast to achieve its old glory. I hope Iranian will also understand their old culture and history and at the same time they will respect their brothers Zoroastrians who are still surviving and fought for their old culture. Those who forgets their ancestor will never get respect of others.

    Zoroastrianism is one great faith of Persia, most brutally annihilated by Arabs.Those who study recorded history definitely lose sleep for many days on knowing the atrocities committed in so abominable way on Zoroastrians in Persia and Hindus in India by Muslims during Islamic invasion.Those accounts are recorded by Islamic scholars themselves.So,there nothing untrue or bias!
    Again,Hindus could save our culture, religion and texts intact by the great sacrifice of Hindus and Brahmans,who kissed death in millions rather to submit to Muslims.
    There is still their history maintained by those Parsees in India,which confirms after leaving their beloved motherland,those Islamic devils came to kill Parsees and Hindus in Gujarat as Invasion on India.
    But,Hindus kings assured those Zoroastrians that till their life is in the Earth,they will protect them.Many Hindus kissed the death in saving Parsees and many Parsees also died.So,it is not simply,the Zoroastrians got a life in India.Arabs were followed wherever Zoroastrians gone to kill and enslave them.Why Iam writing here is history should be study as history.There is no place for personal opinions and guesses.
    One very sad thing in Persian history was those later generation converted to Islam, behaved more Islamic then those Arabs themselves.Persia Muslim Invasion Under Nadir Shah kill thousands of Hindus and created untold miseries on Hindus. Those converted Persian generation,not knowing what happened to their forefathers at the hand of Arabs,killed their own brothers like those Zoroastrians who are living in Persia to save their Zoroastrians roots in adverse conditions in the name of their new found religion,Islam.
    I believe in Karma,that is why till date Islamic Persians who proud about their Zoroastrians roots, could not come out from Islamic clutches,because now they are part of the Problem of Islam’s death and destruction meted out on others in the name religion.
    There are lot of reference in Vedas and other Sanskrit texts about Persian ancestors who are called Asuras(Ahuras)
    Once upon time those Suras(Vedic Aryans) and Asuras(Persians) lived on the dried Saraswathi river basins as brothers and sisters thousands and thousands of years.But,the enmity between the Suras and Asuras was very ancient.
    Suras and Asuras came from same father Sage Kasyap but different mothers of variable Social statues.
    Their Mothers differences and enmity lived with these people and carried for many generation later.Finally,Asuras and Suras entered in final war which is called Dasrajna in Rigveda where Vedic Sura king Sudas defeated Asuras confederation of Kings which made them to part way from India with their people to settle in Present day Iran.Iam sure that this happened before Mahabharata war which is now confirmed happened in 3129BC by accurate astronomical details given in Mahabharata like two eclipses within 15 days detail.There are references that Persian ancestors participated from outside India in great War.
    So,Persians are present in Afghanistan and Persia definitely 3500BC as different Asura families.
    This is the true history.Aryans never came from the west.Those Aryans settled in Iran further moved and settled in Europe and other places.Later,many Aryans tribe were moved out of India which also included Sura((Vedic) kings like Mittanis in 1700Bc.
    There are very clear references in Rigveda about the original family names of Aryans who left India.
    Zoraster was those later born among the migrated Asura family to create his own faith with all available Asura concepts that time as Zoroastrianism.
    why Iam stating all these things,history should be discussed with accuracy not worrying on whether it appeases some or not.
    But,many Persians still thinking that their ancestors came from Siberia or steppes believing the twisted Aryan invasion theory of vested Western experts.
    If those Aryan ancestors came from the west why those mother like Aryans living like barbarians even upto 15th century in Europe,could not create great civilization like in India or later Persia.
    This correct historical direction only make Zoroastrians direct their generation in correct spirit to return to their roots with dignity and truth!
    Best wishes!.

    I got up from my bed because in my head when serving government customers, i do see the invasion happening. Also the injustice is already started. Muslims will not do any business with non-muslims, me. So already to put bread on my table you are affecting me. So what i built in Canada is now going to shits. Well after reading you people above, lets say that if we do not simply stop all religions from entering the public arena and if we continue to have compassion with an urgent danger that is in our face, how stupid of a people are we and of what culture are we from? It is imminent what is happening and i do blame the baby boomers for saving there ass in retirement and putting laws that now our following generations will have to go to war inside our own country for, pathetic these Baby boomers. This cancer do we let it grow aand when the cancer is to big it invades us or do we react NOW and put in place laws that put an end to this, eradicate this growing muslim nuisance of an invasion. Our present government knows and sees what is happening right now, but all that is being done is to slow the growth down by containing it until the day it blows in our face. Then the present government will look at the Canadian people to react, crap it is time to install in our constitution the wording for such to stop. Just no muslim religion or its alike in Canada as you stupid people immigrate and take our money to feed your take over fantasies. I dread the day my child walks our peaceful streets and a car bomb blows him apart. Muslims ask Canadians for help, but have you ever seen a muslim give money or help to a Canadian, right now look at the floods and where are the muslims? Its a one way street for muslims, poor insecure hiding behind a religion instead of living a life. Pathetic are you!
    Life is made to live and enjoy, not to be controlled and dictated by people who take a religion to secure themselves, ’cause otherwise they are senseless in their life and when secured in a religion, become dominant over other. When a religion person always talks on how should others act because of there religion, then they do not know how to live and are depressive people looking for a reason that someone else can give them to live by. How poor can one be, that is the proof that money is not the richness, but the persons weak soul. You want to know how weak is a person, listen to them debate and justify a religion, any religion. So shut up and FORGIVE and live your life. Stop this we in the West you in America crap. Respect and live, enjoy life. Wow so simple to do, but so many weaklings biding to religions to dominate others.
    I am pass my half a life of living and i sure do not envy the crap that is lurking behind doors of muslims. How shallow minded can one be, you can read, you can see images, you can read history and whatever else and still you bind to such a religion! Come on wake up get a job and put your money and talents to work in making this a better humanistic world. Stop supplying money for guns to ideologist assholes you send it too. Get children and stop brainwashing them, man that is pathetic. How low can you be when you fill a childs mind to be a one track religious human being. This is sin, not stupid words say like: Alah and you said that i will kill you, pathetic and so uneducated. If any man or women behind close doors raises a hand on any other human being, then they are no better then animal, pigs are worth more. This I say of any religion that permits such actions towards one another. You all above are hiding and lying behind religions to dominate someone, maybe your wife and children…
    Find the answer to FORGIVENESS and FREEDOM (let the other person be) and then decide to exchange such for a cheap dominating religion, wow we are in 2011 and such people you all are in shallow minds. God get a life!
    Just remember the day any religion decides to take arms, we also will take arms and watch the outcome. So stop all takeover crap NOW.
    That is all i have to say to you religious people who find your identities within a religion, you are not you - yourself, you have become faceless and lie to yourselves whenever you speak religion instead of LOVE and FORGIVENESS.
    I am born a Christian man and I do have faith, but I will not subdue myself to any church or identity to make me feel good. So i teach my children and beware if you take arms, we Canadians are maybe shutting up right now, but read our history.
    END

    At all the freaks and their anti-brahminical outburst(reens for example), you creeps remember Brahmin Judges and lawmakers(not to mention freedom fighters) were the main reason all the untouchable/dalits were released from the throngs of slave owners like Mughal(turko-persian-mongol) muslim rulers and their converted slaves, europeans, other lower caste hindus who considered themselves higher than these socalled untouchables and lower castes.As a matter of fact brahmins did’nt creat the caste system.because remember there were no brahmins before the advent of the caste system.Every country has its own caste system only it was’nt as politically exploited as it is in India(by brits and later our own people).Without Brahmins we would be like Egypt a nation on verge of christian vs Islam wars.Talking of which jesus freaks are as dangerous as muslims.Just look to the north west of India.Thats christianity for you.Brahmins suffered in the caste system too,as a matter of fact they were the poorest caste(self imposed),name any other country/religion where priests/religious men were poor!Brahmins are the saviours of Indian culture and identity,but if you say so,maybe you won’t get your welfare on back of being a socalled backward huh?Brahmins were the reason why India was a scientific/economic superpower before the arrival of Islam to the sub-continent.Read your own history my dear Indians.
