>>>”Now, would you mind passing this detailed account to the man in the WhiteHouse?”
Unfortunately, I have no influence with “the man in the Whitehouse”. But, recently learned that “the man in the Whitehouse” actually was an avid advocate of what I said about the False Arab contribution to the so-called Islamic Civilization ... . As an optimist, I’d like to believe he is extremely misinformed - alternatively, he is selling a political package to certain audiences.
Also, just to share something with you from my personal childhood experience and observation in Iran during the latter days of the Shah’s government - regarding the Assyrian community (in Iran) - I do remember that many Iranian-Zoroastrians (and those from the Parsi community in Iran who had moved to Iran) felt more, culturally, comfortable with the Iranian Assyrians and/or Armenians than with many Muslims.
I don’t mean this as disrespect or a bias towards the Muslims born Iranians at the time; after all many were/are just muslim born and simply accepted being “Moslems” even if they didn’t practice or believe in it. The Moslem/Islam type of issues that we are now facing often didn’t exist or were significantly toned down in those days.
The Parsi Zoroastrian Community is known to traditionally reside in India. Although many moved back to Iran during the Pahlavi Dynasty.
