AS,, in response to your posts:

...The Muslim Arabs liberated first their own land from paganism and slavery, then did the same for their downtrodded naighbours, such as the ancient FIRE-WORSHIPPERS Persians. Islam spread, and still spreading, worldwide because of its basic nobel tenets and humanitarian concepts, teachings and its opposition to discrimination based on race, color, ethnic and faith. You arrogantly and wrongly said ( in another post here) : Persians consider Arabs inferior to them. Islam, on the other hand, considered Arabs are no better than Persians, or any other ethnic groups, ONLY by piety and good deeds!. How a big difference between the tenets of Islam and the morality of Muslim Arabs and of your misguided utterance?.

You bash the arabs calling them uneducated , uncouth, and violent, the same stereotype slanders and profanity of those racists suffering from Islamophobia and anti-Arab malice. Contemporary Iran is a Muslim country ( thanks to Islam and the Arabs) free from paganism ( by the way I respect some basic human concepts of Zoroaster, though the practice of fire-adoration or worshiping is a sort of paganism too). You like to see the few Zoroasterians organize a political movement on the line of the the western imperialist and racist Zionist/Israel. And of course you dream of extreminating the vast majority of Iranians, if possible, who are Muslim Shiits (by the way dont use the language of the gutters such as Shiits bs!, as indicated in your other post) in the way the illegitimate Israel is trying to do with the Palestinians. This is a sign of irrationality, madness and insanity.
