"How Iran persecutes its oldest religion

A shame for one of the oldest religions around, utterly smashed and crushed under the heel of Islamic Conquest and Islamic Apartheid, a warning to any nation what their future can be.

Wherever there is a resurgence of Sharia, tolerance suffers, and harassment and abuse increase. "How Iran persecutes its oldest religion," by Jamsheed Choksy for CNN,

Religious fanaticism has many ugly faces. Zoroastrians did indeed pioneer the concept of the world trapped in a constant universal struggle between the fundamental good and the fundamental evil, and there is a fundamental lack in good judgement when applying measures set to erradicate such ancient heritage.

 

- how interesting . Hmmm..

Let's take a look at an even OLDER RELIGION . The religion of the Canaanites - the religion of the Jebusites - before the runaway Egyptian slaves calling themselves Hebrews invaded /slaughtered their way through the Land of Canaan.

Did the pre-christian /pre-Islam - Hebrews (aka Jews ) NOT carry out a program of genocide against the Canaanites + an OLDER RELIGION ????

GO READ YOUR BIBLE AND LEARN .


....

 

Interesting.

So the Iranian government wanted to eliminate Zoroastrianismfrom their country, just like some Christians in the USA wish to eliminate Islam from the USA.

Just like some Christians who wish to post the 12 Commandments in classrooms, which specifically demands there be "no other God before thee", and who wish to ban Muslims from jobs and political positions!

Such fine company you keep, Dutch! You and the Ayatollah are brothers at heart!

 

Actually, there's no need or reason to entertain your pathological obsession with Jews in this thread, Marlowe. This discussion is about the fascist regime in Iran's mistreatment and disrespect for the oldest religion in that country - Zoroastrianism/Mazdaism.

Read about it and learn:

lmfao using "history" from a mainly fictional book written thousands upon thousands of years ago claiming that an imaginary man in the sky slaughtered the Cananites (likely not an allegory to genocide but to natural disaster) in order to justify religious persecution conducted today. Um seriously?

How about we look at the Hebrews of today whose only nation-state has full and equal rights for all citizens regardless of religious affiliation.

 

Please let us know why something that may or may not have happened 6,000 years ago is relevant to what the fascist dictatorship of iran is doing today.

 

Do those christians have direct government control? Does the US constitution have a separation of religion and state?

How can a rational person compare the self-claimed "islamic republic" to the US?

 

The Parsees in India are the descendants of the Zoroastrians who fled Iran in the first couple of centuries after the initial Muslim conquest. No doubt because of their comparative freedom in India, their customs and rites are less changed than that of the Iranian sect. Apparently Muslim persecution of their religion has a very long history indeed.

 

I agree, how can someone compare?

That's why this thread is irrational.

 

How`s the sand today?

 

Well this is something strange.
A zoroastrian burial????

Everyone knows that Zoroastrians are laid on hills and are eaten by birds.

One of the Zoroastrian Towers of silence on top of the mountain in Iran they lay the bodies in to be eaten by birds.

 

Are you aware that Zionist (European mix Khazarr etc ) claim land ownership their god's promise to a character named Abrah who mai=y or may NOT have existed ?


A promise from what another plonker called "history" from a mainly fictional book written thousands upon thousands of years ago claiming that an imaginary man in the sky

Go ask the Jewish settlers / colonist building their homes on stolen land - whether their god is an imaginary man in the sky

There are NO HEBREWS they do not exist - modern Hebrew languags to a rehash/remanufactured language.

And you claim that all citizens regardless of race /rreligion , ISS CRAP its been rebutted here + all over the web countles times. one recent post is this :

ISRAEL IS A RACIST STATE A FLAWED " DEMOCRACY" FOR JEWS ONLY .

.....

 

Good idea - Environmentally friendly.

 

IMO Muslims are no different than the followers of the other two Abrahamic derived belief systems -Judaism/Christianity.

, None can claim to have impeccable records of tolerance of other beliefs or even other denominations - different interpretations of the same faith. Abram's god is a jealous god.

Zoroastrianism was misunderstood and once described as "Fire worshippers"

There is the elaborate issue of preparing the body and the ceramonty before it is placed. There is also the burial of the bones which takes place afterward.

 

I am pretty sure none of those religions exist any longer, so no point to complain about it is there? if iran has its way this religion also ceases to exist as its people are forced to embrace islam and join the cult.

 

Just as Judaism and Christianity (preceeding Islam) wiped out/obliterated - former beliefs - RIGHT ?

As I've said muslims are no different to Jews and Christians in that respect.

Read your bible and learn how Judaism was established , read history and learn how christianity was spread throughout Africa - North and South America's . Remove your blinkers and LEARN.


....

 

So, you are OK with religious persecution? Since you refer to history, the Jews and Christians were themselves persecuted.

 

Your neo-Nazi Islamist bull(*)(*)(*)(*) has been thoroughly debunked by genetic testing, Askanazi Jews are not Khazars as proven by a myriad of genetic studies which demonstrates unequivocally that they are an integral part of the genetic landscape of the Levant dating to the neolithic period.

Bull(*)(*)(*)(*), Israel has freedom of religion and all citizens are equal under the law regardless of religious affiliation. Provide the statute which says otherwise or ****.

 

1) Right - "genetic tests + studies carried out by Jewish "genetists" and funded by pro-Israel Jewish orgs. what else ? hahahaha -

No statute required in practice - IN REAL DAILY LIFE - Israeli laws works in favour its Jewish citizens and against non-Jews EVERY DAY.

ITS A RACIST STATE A FLAWED " DEMOCRACY" FOR JEWS ONLY .

(here is one example - READ AND LEARN :

Top rabbis move to forbid renting homes to Arabs, say 'racism originated in the Torah'

Dozens of Israel's municipal chief rabbis signed on to the ruling, which comes just months after the chief rabbi of Safed initiated a call urging Jews to refrain from renting or selling apartments to non-Jews.

So you DO make the connction between the Hebrews and Jews
