“More Moslems came, and soon a small mosque was built, which attracted yet others. As long as Zoroastrians remained in the majority, their lives were tolerable; but once the Moslems became the more numerous, a petty but pervasive harassment was apt to develop. This was partly verbal, with taunts about fire-worship, and comments on how few Zoroastrians there were in the world, and how many Moslems, who must therefore posses the truth; and also on how many material advantages lay with Islam. The harassment was often also physical; boys fought, and gangs of youth waylaid and bullied individual Zoroastrians. They also diverted themselves by climbing into the local tower of silence and desecrating it, and they might even break into the fire-temple and seek to pollute or extinguish the sacred flame. Those with criminal leanings found too that a religious minority provided tempting opportunities for theft, pilfering from the open fields, and sometimes rape and arson. Those Zoroastrians who resisted all these pressures often preferred therefore in the end to sell out and move to some other place where their co-religionists were still relatively numerous, and they could live at peace; and so another village was lost to the old faith.”
Boyce, A Persian Stronghold of Zoroastrianism, pp. 7-8;
Islam produced its greatest expansions when dealing with other civilizations or peoples who were disunited or torn by chaos. It was rarely successful when confronting a strong, unified people. Visigothic Spain was in sucessional turmoil when they Muslims took it over, France was ruled by what had become a quaint, insulated puppet dynasty - the Merovingens - when Islam invaded it, Sicily and Southern Italy were disunited and subjected to foreign rule, the Holy Land, Egypt and north Africa were in the turmoil of religious persecutions by the Byzantines when they fell to Islam, Byzantium had been weakened by a misdirected crusade and Frankish rule - together with other factors which allowed the Muslims to take it over, the invasion of the Balkans occurred when there was a power vacuum there, Persia fell to the Muslims when it was weakened by warfare with the Byzantines.
America and the west are culturally rotting from within, making us susceptible to the contagion of Islam. We have lost our sense of cultural identity, our pride of self, and the vigor of our own religious beliefs. Political correctness and liberalism are destroying us.
If we don't change, we will wind up just like the Zoroastrians.
