		<description>Pity the soloist indulging in cacophony.
 That someone who talks of BANDWAGON is unable to see the strength  of the Bandwagon on current post  about Parsis storm Zoroastrian College.
Uttering Adjectives is the prerogative of &quot;BROAD MINDED&quot; the word BROAD being redefined.</description>

		<description>i just want to say, as just another persian, it&#039;s problematic now with the regressive archaic islam, religion of savage desert dewelers and their barbar turk successors, to go back to religion of Ashu Zartosht, but one day we will go back, i&#039;m sure , as many of us Iranians live and feel inside as followers of holy Zartosht through our customs and beliefs, no mater what has happened to us 1400 years now, and  I believe that Parsis are just another lovely part of this Iranian spirit of good faith and resistance.

so all arguments here better be put aside and just try to spread the words of Ahura-Mazda&#039;s prophet.</description>

		<description>Well Tara , nice to know you are interested in Zoroastrianism.
Now rules that sound hostile towards non zoroastrians may not be so. I agree that it sounds hostile especially if you take it when applying to an individual. Just yeterday i was talking to a memeber of a sikh community and he was telling me about the inclusion of hinduistic concepts in sikhism due to the similarities or becuse sikhism developed frioom hinduism and the efforts of the sikhs to maintain their identity different from hinsuism.Sikhism formas about 2.5% of India&#039;s population.
Now place the Zoroastrian community with about .01% of India&#039;s population. Already hinduisation has crept in to Zoroastrianism to some aspect. Also if we open up completely and DO NOT STUDY and Undestand the concept of certain exclusion like thw Fubians or Kuwaitis or th coorgs or Kshmir , Himachal Pradesh etc then we will be fused witht he larger section.
Lets take for example the Iranians of today claiming to be Persians. Well Iran has clamped down on women without the Veils or the Burkha. Now if a million people claiming to be Persians with Persian names( from the debate in this topic, --names like Faruborz and Zand) potray Persians to have a culture of thE Burka then Persianism is being misreprsented and thus is gonna be passed in the misrepresented form to the next generation. Same way if we open up the agiaries, then  the people believing in idol worship banal to zoroastrianism will outnumber the zoroastrians and thus in time a demand for change in the policy will ask for idols. Alrady our jasans ae being fused with the yagnas of the hindu&#039;s and our 5 gah&#039;s being fused with 5 namaaz being offered by the muslims. How many times wheni travel i have been associated with islam just because my name is rustom and my dad&#039;s parvez.
Again politically , yesterday a tainted cop in India who is alleged to have killed a couple from a community that sometimes id fused with terrorist was garlanded by some from the majority community in India. This shows the support to comunal hatred an violence. We are away from it as w have maintained an different distinct identity of which non convertions forma an basic part.
Agin it is argued that in the west it is different, but on actually studying the political changes and behaviour of convertions and thus comunal tensions , it does emit from the west if yuo study the propogation of christianity from the vatican and rise of asian communties in the west which makes the locals a bit sceptical.
History shows of Zoroastrians fusing in China and Europe.
Forget History, how many childern of intermarried zoroastrians would be able to discard Zoroastrian policies of non Idol worship , non fasting like lent,not animal godsor anti deva policy. Again it must be understood that what the traditionalist want is termed as taliban or hostile due to wrong priopoganda of those who want change. And who wants these changes, those who want to include into zoroastriansim beliefs banal to zoroastrianism!
Now would a Zoroastrian married to a muslim who argues to change Zoroastriansim fight against Islam to allow non muslims from entering the mecca or madina . Or females to go into certain mosques. Would Zoroastrians married to christians fight the Pope to aloow giving of the holy communioum to those who have not converted to christianity. Would those who fuse hinduism with Zoroastrianism and say everything is the same and thus change Zoroastrianism fight against the non inclusio og Hindu&#039;s in concecrated temples of Puri and orrisa!
Taliban destroyed other peoples beleifs. Taliban wanted and poropgated Islam. Where are the Zoroastrians traditionalist fighting or being hostile towards christianity, islam , hindusim or anything else. The traditionalist Zoroastruians are not even fighting the convertions and thus disregard of other faiths. All they are saying islet the fire temples function as willed by the people that built it. Let us contuinue and strenghten Zoroastrian practises which have weakened. And if you do not want to follow it , fine , do as you please but do not dismantle zoroastrianism.

Tara you talk about extiction.Let me ask you this, have the zoroastrians who followed intermarriage, following other beliefs etc hav they become in thei next gen non zoroastrians or at most navjoted zoroastrians or are the Zoroastrians that follow Zoroastrianism as it is become extinct.
Do a survey of intermarried zoroastriansim. Do they follow Zooastrianism Are they not influenced by sunday mass and satsangs and just because one parent is a zoroastrian, proclaim to be zoroastrians.
Also are the abro&#039;s of Australia , the tribes of Amazon , the tribes of Andamans, extict? Ull find that he red Indians are extinct since they have lost their roots due to fusing!
And if at all zoroastrians becomes extinct would you want it to be remembered or studied as a wonderfull mazdayasnian religion or would you want banal beliefs an a mixture of things that wud go against mazdayasnism to be represented as zoroastrianism just as the burka is wrongly being potrayed as part of persianism and like Xerxes was wrongly potrayed as barabarian!</description>

		<description>Nice debate, always good to hear from passionate people. I obviously don&#039;t share your knowledge, but from the very basic point of view of the a person who is half-Parsi (if there can be such a thing), it seems to me to be pretty disingenious to reject people from your religion who would otherwise be attracted. As the daughter of a Parsi woman and an English man, my interest in Zoroastrianism is naturally limited by what, from this point of view, is the hostility of traditionalists. I would like to visit a fire temple. So would my Dad, actually. Surely it&#039;s the fundamental teachings and not your blood that matters? Or is this community seeking inevitable and rapid extinction?</description>

		<description>News report show that around 150000 women are held for improper dress code in Iran. Iran claims to be Persian. Whereas the lands belong to the Persians, does that make the occupiers Persians!If this is so then why are these so called Persians following things banal to Persian custom and religion.
Also it should be remembered that when the religion of the Persians was overthrown by the convertions and religious wars by Christianised Europe and missoneries within Persia and then by Islam, the Zoroastrian women to rebell against un persian law of the veil rebelliously showed their ankles and face.

Mazdayasni Zoroastrianism and thus Persianism is being fused by it being misrepresented. Persian names are being used by people that follow ANTI PERSIAN customs.Of course nothing can be done about this but atleast we should learn by such examples of fusing to avoid ourselves being dissolved by a larger section who may wrongly represent the term Persianism and thus Mazdayasnism.This with the lack of mazdayasni knowledge amongst the Persians of today, i.e The Parsi&#039;s adds in us sending the wrong message to the comming zoroastrian generation. Ofcourse the Parsi Punchayat is busy infighting, Dinshaw v/s Dinshaw(remember Kramer v/s Kramer) and in being pragmatic!?* by giving up on the dokhmaneshini system and system that help us maintain our identity. For this many pseudo organistaion have risen up to open up our agiaries! Has anyone taken notice of a bill passed in India for giving travel concessions to all communtites of Inia to go on Pilgrimage , just like the muslims have when they go to Haj. Can the punchayat and the directors of this and that pay attention to such so that zoroastrian childen can be taken to the lands of their forfathers to know about Persian kjungs and their lineage before iot is too late!
It is indeed better to have wise enemies than foolish friends. Toay we have literate doctors and lawers that after taking benefits from the goodwill of being Parsi&#039;s want to fuse it so that Zoroastrianism changes drastically. Fortunatelu for them, te result of their deeds based on ego now will be fased not by them but by the next gen zoroastrians.</description>

		<description>Fariborz,
It depends what texts you look at. It also depends if you look at it mythologically. If you do go mythologicaly then you must have an open mind.Cause mytholoy of any religion can be faulted especially logically , but then the concept of god , emotions does not fit in with logic. In fact the reflection of &#039;good and bad&#039; will be different according to logic as it would depend on what basis you judge goodness and evil ,thus concience would also have a very limited scope with logic.
Logically the concept of Adam and eve being first man and woman to walk on earth can be faulted as Christianity came up only around 2000 years ago.
So the answer mythologically lies in knowing when Masha and Mashyani according to Mazdayasni faith walked on earth, also to know when gayomard and fareduun walked here or when king Jamsheed ruled which was supposed to have lasted 900 years or so about  8000 years back and he fought opposing spirituality to mazdayasni .i.e devyasni. That MAY sOunds far fetched then how come we celebrate navrooz today? Im sure you know navrooz is associated with King Jamsheed and his golden era.Incedently i read somewhere that the King of AFghanistan&#039;s pricest possession was the Shahnameh which was gold leafed.Weather the taliban destroyed it or not i&#039;m not sure.

Accordingly, Zoroastrian tradition and the Avesta Yashts are replete with the specific missions of the illustrious mazdayasni&#039;s saintly kings from Gayomard, Hoshang,Tehmurasp, Jamshid, Fredun, etc, to Kaikobad, Kaikaus, Kaikhushru, and
the saintly paladins like Kersasp, Rustom, Faramarz, Aspandiar,etc, all of whom belonged to the Paoiryo-tkaesha class.The Shahnameh talks about constant long-drawn wars between the Mazdayasnis and the Daevayasnis, which took epic proportions as described by Firdausi.

If you go according to language , again we may come across a hurdle since avesta was spoken much earlier than it was transformed into writings.The old gathic avesta is supposed to predate vedik sanskrit.Vedik sanskrit is supposed to be the language of the harapa and mohenjadaro civilisation. That takes us back to around 2500 bc.
According to wikipedia&quot;Avestan is an Eastern Old Iranian language that was used to compose the sacred hymns and canon of the Zoroastrian Avesta&quot;
As Zoroasters birth differs according to different scholars and interpretation, so dos the dateline of oral avesta, and thus the start of mazdayasni&#039;s.

But again let us look at the topic of discussion here. How come avesta is associated with mazdayasnism and Zoroastriaism especially when you have formed an opinion of persianism being different from zoroastrianism and mazdayasnism being different from zoroastrianism and the rest. How come the mazdayasni saintly kings acording to firdousi wore the sudreh and kusti and spoke of Ahura Mazda if they were supposd to be different from Zoroastrianism according to you. Again you have just helped i proving what i said about mazdayasnism and zoroastrianism being same and that zarathushtra only preached mazdayasnism.This was debated by you even though i gave you proof from the prayers and the zand avesta.But as i said earlier your questions and finding loop holes take you back.
Darayus writing about lineage i shall copy here.
&quot;parsa parsahya puthra arya aryachithra&quot;, meaning, (I am) Parsi, the son of a Parsi, an Aryan, of Aryan lineage!

Now why does he talk about lineage. Some one asked me to prove my lineage, again i ask that person if he wud see with yellow eyes darayus&#039;s inscription!!!!

Hey fariborz , atleast once answer my questions ,
1) how come after all the plunders by the mauradeers, after all the texts being burnet, after all agiaries being turned over as other religious places by the dertuctive attitude by early christians to term everything else as heresy and paganism and then later by the early arabs, after the migration to a land where there wasnt a dokhma nor a agiary , we survived  and our faith grew. 
2)Was it not because of the wisdom of the zoroastrians that protected it and rekidled it after their arrival in India.
ARE YOU SMARTER THAN THEM and shud we forsake history for your philosphy. We speak about zoroastrianism because it exists, and it exists solely due to the preservation of the Zoroastrians that came to India and followed its principles thru time and gen&#039;s Shud we give that up and take up on ure ideas? Wud ure ideas have been able to resurect zoroastrianism.
3) Like you shud we close our eyes to The LIVE EXAMPLES of present day tribes of thr amazon ,andamans. the coorgs,and even large countrieslike Saudi , muscats and Kuwait,that folow suit so not to be fused with the philosophy of the larger population .Will it be wise for the prsent day gen zoroastrians or persians, to give that up and follow your philosophy and the attitude of&#039; What suits me&#039; type of history&#039;
4)Again i ask arnt the zoroastrian or the Persian place of worship safe due to our non converting identity.Isnt navroz a festival of mazdayasnis now seen as a festival of all those who now live in what was persia.

5) Arnt mazdayasni names like Rustom , kurush, nariman , fariborz , adil etc widely used in many islamic places including egypt, showcase the misdentity and roots of the  names. Arnt our identity fused by this?

6)Wasnt Xexes misrepresented. Wasnt Xerxes, Cyrus , Darayus , Ardeshir etc mazdayasnis according to you?If you agree they were mazdayasnis then why wud u dissassociate perisnism and zoroastrianism.
It is widely talked even on news shows that 300 was a showcase for the tensions of present day gulf scenario.Due to ignorance werent the Persians and thus zoroastrian kings being potrayed wrongly.

On what basis scientifically, hisorically or mythologically are you potraying your ideas.
And hey what i say is not my idea, its history written by many scholars and persens established with doctorates in the specific field. Are you right and even they wrong?
Fariborz never once have i skirted around your questions, now atlleast once answer mine</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fariborz,<br />
It depends what texts you look at. It also depends if you look at it mythologically. If you do go mythologicaly then you must have an open mind.Cause mytholoy of any religion can be faulted especially logically , but then the concept of god , emotions does not fit in with logic. In fact the reflection of &#8216;good and bad&#8217; will be different according to logic as it would depend on what basis you judge goodness and evil ,thus concience would also have a very limited scope with logic.<br />
Logically the concept of Adam and eve being first man and woman to walk on earth can be faulted as Christianity came up only around 2000 years ago.<br />
So the answer mythologically lies in knowing when Masha and Mashyani according to Mazdayasni faith walked on earth, also to know when gayomard and fareduun walked here or when king Jamsheed ruled which was supposed to have lasted 900 years or so about  8000 years back and he fought opposing spirituality to mazdayasni .i.e devyasni. That MAY sOunds far fetched then how come we celebrate navrooz today? Im sure you know navrooz is associated with King Jamsheed and his golden era.Incedently i read somewhere that the King of AFghanistan&#8217;s pricest possession was the Shahnameh which was gold leafed.Weather the taliban destroyed it or not i&#8217;m not sure.</p>
<p>Accordingly, Zoroastrian tradition and the Avesta Yashts are replete with the specific missions of the illustrious mazdayasni&#8217;s saintly kings from Gayomard, Hoshang,Tehmurasp, Jamshid, Fredun, etc, to Kaikobad, Kaikaus, Kaikhushru, and<br />
the saintly paladins like Kersasp, Rustom, Faramarz, Aspandiar,etc, all of whom belonged to the Paoiryo-tkaesha class.The Shahnameh talks about constant long-drawn wars between the Mazdayasnis and the Daevayasnis, which took epic proportions as described by Firdausi.</p>
<p>If you go according to language , again we may come across a hurdle since avesta was spoken much earlier than it was transformed into writings.The old gathic avesta is supposed to predate vedik sanskrit.Vedik sanskrit is supposed to be the language of the harapa and mohenjadaro civilisation. That takes us back to around 2500 bc.<br />
According to wikipedia&#8221;Avestan is an Eastern Old Iranian language that was used to compose the sacred hymns and canon of the Zoroastrian Avesta&#8221;<br />
As Zoroasters birth differs according to different scholars and interpretation, so dos the dateline of oral avesta, and thus the start of mazdayasni&#8217;s.</p>
<p>But again let us look at the topic of discussion here. How come avesta is associated with mazdayasnism and Zoroastriaism especially when you have formed an opinion of persianism being different from zoroastrianism and mazdayasnism being different from zoroastrianism and the rest. How come the mazdayasni saintly kings acording to firdousi wore the sudreh and kusti and spoke of Ahura Mazda if they were supposd to be different from Zoroastrianism according to you. Again you have just helped i proving what i said about mazdayasnism and zoroastrianism being same and that zarathushtra only preached mazdayasnism.This was debated by you even though i gave you proof from the prayers and the zand avesta.But as i said earlier your questions and finding loop holes take you back.<br />
Darayus writing about lineage i shall copy here.<br />
&#8220;parsa parsahya puthra arya aryachithra&#8221;, meaning, (I am) Parsi, the son of a Parsi, an Aryan, of Aryan lineage!</p>
<p>Now why does he talk about lineage. Some one asked me to prove my lineage, again i ask that person if he wud see with yellow eyes darayus&#8217;s inscription!!!!</p>
<p>Hey fariborz , atleast once answer my questions ,<br />
1) how come after all the plunders by the mauradeers, after all the texts being burnet, after all agiaries being turned over as other religious places by the dertuctive attitude by early christians to term everything else as heresy and paganism and then later by the early arabs, after the migration to a land where there wasnt a dokhma nor a agiary , we survived  and our faith grew.<br />
2)Was it not because of the wisdom of the zoroastrians that protected it and rekidled it after their arrival in India.<br />
ARE YOU SMARTER THAN THEM and shud we forsake history for your philosphy. We speak about zoroastrianism because it exists, and it exists solely due to the preservation of the Zoroastrians that came to India and followed its principles thru time and gen&#8217;s Shud we give that up and take up on ure ideas? Wud ure ideas have been able to resurect zoroastrianism.<br />
3) Like you shud we close our eyes to The LIVE EXAMPLES of present day tribes of thr amazon ,andamans. the coorgs,and even large countrieslike Saudi , muscats and Kuwait,that folow suit so not to be fused with the philosophy of the larger population .Will it be wise for the prsent day gen zoroastrians or persians, to give that up and follow your philosophy and the attitude of&#8217; What suits me&#8217; type of history&#8217;<br />
4)Again i ask arnt the zoroastrian or the Persian place of worship safe due to our non converting identity.Isnt navroz a festival of mazdayasnis now seen as a festival of all those who now live in what was persia.</p>
<p>5) Arnt mazdayasni names like Rustom , kurush, nariman , fariborz , adil etc widely used in many islamic places including egypt, showcase the misdentity and roots of the  names. Arnt our identity fused by this?</p>
<p>6)Wasnt Xexes misrepresented. Wasnt Xerxes, Cyrus , Darayus , Ardeshir etc mazdayasnis according to you?If you agree they were mazdayasnis then why wud u dissassociate perisnism and zoroastrianism.<br />

		<description>First of all, we are talking about Persianism in that era! so I don&#039;t jump into the past, you never keep track of what you wrote in past post.

I can easily say, if somebody in past 500 years ago, (with whatevr religion that you name it which it doesn&#039;t matter) travelled to Suadi they became Saudis. because they mix and there have mixed kids and so on. All of them became Saudis. &lt;strong&gt;The restriction and thought of that a human can&#039;t be part of a race, is called racism.&lt;/strong&gt; (which I refered to you in my early posts that you are racist, just because of your thoughts).

Because of mixing Persians with people, with different religions and different cultures from different part of the world in that era, doesn&#039;t allow anybody to say, they are not persian. the new generation, was persian and is persian. 

As much as Persian race spreaded in the world, the other races spreaded too. it is obvious. for example, inter-tribal marriage, inter-country marriage was a custom to make better bonds. it was a nature of human being, to learn, to teach and most of all, to evolve.

(for example, I know there were egyptian race in Persian and nowadays in Iran but we call them Persian we won&#039;t call them Egyptian. also other races)

This is part of your post:
&quot;Then there are many others whose lineage goes to the roots of those who tried to christianise Persia, that is those who took shelter in Persia and then turned against the religion of persians i.e zoroastrianism and most whose lineage goes to those from islam that tried to islamise zoroastrianism.&quot;

So what? If you want to live with this obsession that other religions destroyed Zoroastrians, I am gonna tell you, you can keep blaming others but the reality is not what your ancestores wrote for you, the reality is The Zoroastrian religion was ruined because of religious leaders which power and money made them fool and Zoroastrians (people mostly settled in Persia) was looking for a new idea that answer to their questions and actually this need was a point to other religions to introduce themselves to Zoroastrians.
(most of the time, samething applies to other religions which they got corrupted and their believers looking for new ideas and justice, which corrupted religion couldn&#039;t bring it back)

Being rational is not gonna hurt you, I am gonna ask you, yourself, I don&#039;t want your logical mind to reply me, ok?

If Zoroastrian religion was a powerful religion (which it was) and people love that religion, how come Zoroastrians at that time, didn&#039;t use all Zoroastrians power and fight back against who wanted to convert them? how come?
Don&#039;t you think there were injustice and corruption which made people to runaway and seek for something new and real thing, at the first place? and after that the other religion missionaries brought their new idea to Persia land.

&lt;strong&gt;Even if you study society at the meantime, you can tell, society will go after their needs. Power (religion or politics and etc.) can push them for awhile but not forever. &lt;/strong&gt;

Don&#039;t sleep with this false information. it doesn&#039;t matter they wrote in books or your ancestor brought to you, think about it.</description>

		<description>Fariborz , again you go off on an tangent.
You jump 6000 years back take a part of that  which suits you in the argument and leave the rest.
Weather Kuwaiti Or SAUD HISTORY is 1400 years or whatever really does not make a difference.Since the point im making here is that just as you have christians and all in Saudi or Hindus in Musat they do not become saudis or muscatees.The same way we had Buddhists in Persia who came from what is now India , we had christians that migrated to Persia during the Parthian era from europe since they were persectted by Rome.We had egyptians and Persian culture was even studies by the Greeks Now accotding to your theory , the buddhist should claim to be Persians,so shud the egyptians, so shud the greeeks since the christians that took refugee in Persia according to your theory shud be encompased in &#039;Persian&#039;.
As of your statement of Persian being the main ethnic group of Iran today. Weel many may have the same lineage as their forfathers gave up Zoroastrianism due to convertions by diplomatic christian missoneries and by forced convertions of Islam. Thenthere are many others whose lineage goes to the roots of those who tried to christianise Persia, that is those who took shelter in Persia and then turned against the religion of persians i.e zoroastrianism and most whose lineage goes to those from islam that tried to islamise zoroastrianism.
As far as after the arab conquest , it is a fact that zoroastrians or the originals persians fled their homeland to many places. Gujrat was one since trade relations were established to a certain extent during the sassanian era. Infact early coinage of gujrat had sassanian motifs. The groups that went elsewhere have fused and the Zoroastrians or original Persians that migrated to india survuived since it maintained its ethnicity.
Now that u have made progres by understanding that Persia stretched rigth to Punjab from the urls and caucasias and the caspian , it was but natural that it comprised of many tribes and cultures.This is again shown by the carving of Darayus , Cyrus ,Xerxes etc.And in most if not all, the magnanimoity of the Original Persian zoroastrian goes to show that they always helped other cultures to thrive under their wing as the original persian&#039;s religion of AHura Mazda respected humanity. Not one evidence shows that they have converted the others. Now if you go on and say since Perisan lands had a piece in Mangolia ,  thus mangolians are Persians, it shouws your maturity. Of course as i said if this had now become an ego battle then we cud cry hoarse till the cows died and you&#039;d claim that Persians are greeks just because Alexander conquered Perisa and had Pesian land and Persian people under him.
I think you are hurt faribiorz. Since what had been preached to you is that you are a Persian. History as you have protrayed is mutilated to suit you has been comming down thru generations since yo guys dont want to look at the wrongs done by your forfathers. Now when you get a bit of resistance about the ill deeds done by the refugee seekers to the religion of the people who gave them refugee, it becomes unswalloable.Its like Francis Pizzero and his Inca conquest.Destroy what cannot be yours and then claim its magnaniity.Basicaslly to do away with proof that makes one&#039;s deeds look miserable. And to claim what others have achieved as ones deeds, history has to be mutilated.
So as i said fighting on an ego level, you believe what you want, but i promise , the more you run away, the faster history catches up.
Hey fariborz wud you like to read Prof Mary Boyce&#039;s work. The world recognised her as the most learned historans with respect to mazdayasnism zoroastrianism and its poeple the persians. You could also read Dr Kotwals or Jamasapas on this subject.
But i promise you that you might have an internal conflict that will then make you either rubbish their work or accept what you have been runing away from!.

The irony again is that you keep arguing on the same thing by skirting the real isue and degressing when it suits you but again in every feable try you make , you only end up strenghteing what i say, as yo rightly pointed out that persia encompassed of tajikistan , ajerbaijan etc. Today both are islamic, will you go and say that the original persians were islamic?
Hey Darayus and xerxes went to Egypt and Greek , wud you say that Darayus was egyptian or the egyptian were persians.Proof existes that he was a Zoroastrian and proud if his lineage. If you want see the carving in Iran, if you want ill send the translation across. Yaeh but then if you say that he was a christian or since bla bla then i dont have time for that.
Fariborz you wants to  desprately be included in &#039;Persianism&#039; due to the splendour of Persia and its people the mazdayasni zoroastrians. But you do not want to accept the brutality and treachory it did against it. So the next thing is to do away with parts of history.Like the TAliban who banned navroz since they say it brought in unislamic culture in theirs. Tell me why do the muslims celebtrate Navroz. It is a mazdayasnian festival. It is a fstival of those people whose religion was destroyed by islamic thirst to convert. Then why celebrate something that belong to a culture you destroyed. Isnt navroz now being seen a festival of muslims since the number of muslims celebrating it out numbers the whole original persians to whom the festival is associated with in roots!
Again the fusing of navroz has left it being misrepresented.
The Persian names you claim belong to the ones that followed mazdayasni zoroastrianism, which was destroyed by people that now claim the names associate them with their lineage!!!!!.Again this could nt be helped as the few persians cannot stop people from having names , yet it is a fact that now as afriborz or rustom or nariman, it cud be associated with cultures that destroyed the cultures of fariborz , rustoam and nariman!.
 Again it boils down to maintinaing our ethinicity ,all your examples show how by fusing one thing with another,ethinicity gets diluted. 300 fused Xerxes and Persian culture since the west sees persianism as it is potrayed today by majority occupying Persian lands.As per your theory Persianism shud include everything as many cultures were present and allowed to be practised when the Persians were in power.
Hats off as you are nly turn the deeds of Persians and their religion of Ahura Mazda and their sweetness into its weakness. Yes the remaining few Persians have finally reached a stage where they are in danger of being fused.</description>

		<description>I understand for you to admit, you&#039;re wrong because you have been lived with this theories since childhood and you never ever pushed yourself to study truth and think outside of your religious accustomed which in your understanding, it covers whole history that era.

Again, I make it simple for you. just simple give me a date for following question, ok? please just date, no explanation.

1. When did Zoroastrian (Mazdaism) religion start?

Then I will get back to you and analyse again all your claims in the first postings (to me).</description>

<p>Then I will get back to you and analyse again all your claims in the first postings (to me).</p>

		<description>Oh, so you are talking about reason?!! strange, if you wanted to stick to topic, at the first place, you shouldn&#039;t respond to Omid Azardoost&#039;s post!! so actually you drive this topic in a wrong way. again it is your fault. Admit it!
and I found this topic while I was googling. 

Again &lt;strong&gt;you&#039;re applying your understanding of contemporary citizenship of some contemporary countries to 6000 years ago?!!!&lt;/strong&gt;

First, at that era when a tribes attack another one, mostly females got rape and they had kids (no matter what their mother had a different religion or race) from attackers, which persians were good fighters and they got many victories and so on.

&lt;strong&gt;Second, Persians have migrated to many countries even in that era. Also they were and are in Kuwait and UAE (your samples)&lt;/strong&gt; and right now, they are original citizen in those countries. (in following a definition of Persian and list of countries which Persians can be found easily at the meantime)

Third, &lt;strong&gt;The citizenship law that you are talking about, applies to now, not to that era, even not past 500 years ago!&lt;/strong&gt;

Fourth, at that area, when an emperor, like Persia or Rome, occupy a land and people, they used to consider new land and people under same name (Persia or Rome) and &lt;strong&gt;they were exchanging traditions and they were marriages and so on. so the Persian (or Rome) race and heritage, spread in occupied lands. &lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;so even they were and are Persians by race in those occupied lands, not just in Iran&lt;/strong&gt;

These are history and actual events in history which no one can change it, no matter you like it or not.

&lt;strong&gt;So Persian race, spread all over the world since Persian emperor era by now.&lt;/strong&gt;


Persians (definition):
&lt;strong&gt;Persians are the main ethnic group of Iran and are the majority and dominant ethnic group of Iran&lt;/strong&gt;. They also inhabit in neighboring countries particularly in &lt;strong&gt;Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan&lt;/strong&gt; and in these countries they are usually thought of as sub-groups. &lt;strong&gt;Significant numbers of Persians also reside outside of these countries, with the largest communities found in the United States, Germany, England, Israel, Canada, Kuwait, France, Italy, Turkey. Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE&lt;/strong&gt; also have large populations of Persian descendants, referred to as Ajamis. Smaller communities are also found in surrounding countries and the &lt;strong&gt;Arabian Peninsula&lt;/strong&gt;.


Persians can also be found outside of Iran and include the &lt;strong&gt;Tajiks and Farsiwan who can be found in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and the Xinjiang province of China&lt;/strong&gt;. Another group called the Tats lives mainly in the Caucasus region concentrated in &lt;strong&gt;Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russian Dagestan&lt;/strong&gt;. The Parsis, a small community in &lt;strong&gt;India&lt;/strong&gt;, are also largely descended from Persian &lt;strong&gt;Zoroastrian refugees&lt;/strong&gt; who fled from Persia following the Arab conquests. The Iranis, another &lt;strong&gt;small community in western India&lt;/strong&gt;, are descended from more recent Persian Zoroastrian immigrants to the subcontinent.</description>

I read every comment posted on this site. And as author of the post, I did make my point right at the start. 

I generally don&#039;t jump into a conversation unless I have something to add. Therefore I was keeping quiet in the background.</description>

What are you on about, again.
The reason i said to stick to the topic of this duscussion is as basic as sticking to the topic of discussion. Of course it is the net but maybe in your wisdom you would like to talk about vegetables when one is talking about agiaries being away from harms way since we are recognised as a peacefull comunity away from convertions.
Again i write that the reason i asked to stay with the topic of discussion was after i wrote against armchair fiction and self judge jury and exectuioner policy you inherit in your theiroies.
As far as Dubians or the Kuwaitians example i provided and you couldnt fathom the similarities with what we were debating , i wont add further as you have proven about your knowledge of policitcal situations. I dont know what difefrence it makes if Islam started 1400 years ago? It still remains that no one except the original Muscatian and kuwaiti and a saudi can claim citizenship to the respective country..This is rightly done to maintain their identity and ethnicity especially when they have hoardes of migrants. It wudnt mater even if the migrant is a muslim , you have to be an original muscatee or a saudi to be a citizen.Hey Persia even stretched to egypt..now in ure theory the egyptians also become persians.
What astonishes me is that with complete devoid of mazdayasni faith and its knowledge you agued about mazdayasni being different from zoroastrianism Then you talked about humans shud not be proud of persian hisory, and then gave excuses to manouvere yourself out of it.I talk about Persian stretching in terms of land( due to expansion for economy) and thus you wud have buddhist , christians  etc in Persia and on this you claim everyone was persian. That wud mean that even a buddhiust is a persian since he was in persian lands or lands under persian control.Its like saying a muslim or christians in india are Hindus since the majority in india are Hindu&#039;s.
To make it simpler i gave you an example of the middle east, asgain you brought in the age of Islam!!!?!#$
You give excuses for not staying on the subject of topic. U give excuse not to counter a valid of point of agairies being not seen as a worship place disliked by others.
Yeah i do think you are fighting now to save your pride and ego.If my appolgising helps to quench the pain of ego then i dont mind , especially since weather i appologise or not ,weahter you tell yourself that u have proven me wrong to make your self happy, weather you potray another theory, whatvere, Hisotry remains the same and those who want to change history or forget it are bound to repeat it.
AS FAR AS THE DEBATE GOES ,AS I SAID EARLIER,  you have just strenghtened what i said and that is Perisan history being misinterprated is due ti it being misrepresented. And the same goes for The original Perisans.</description>

		<description>In reply to your second post, I should write this is &lt;strong&gt;the net&lt;/strong&gt;. The obvious feature of the net is, if you write something , it will pop up in search engines. so you should be careful after this.


You canâ€™t ask somebody not to write against your craps. it is another nature of the net. and people like me, never stand still and let fanatic minds like you, enjoy this space.


&lt;strong&gt;I proved that you are wrong with simple facts &lt;/strong&gt;and you canâ€™t even argue with them &lt;strong&gt;rationally&lt;/strong&gt;.
Actually, your second post, is just a run away because you canâ€™t come up with rational reply. I caught you in the corner  


I wrote my idea about 300. itâ€™s intact. If you or anybody have a problem, just try to make a new movie better than that.


&lt;strong&gt;This topic is open as long as you stop writing or provide apology to people that you were trying to give them your primitive and false history understandings. thank you.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
