Yes I am. It always pains me when other people here on FR dismiss Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan and don’t seem to recall their ancient importance to the Judaic faith and its offshoots.

you may have heard of the Indian and Pakistani rumour “oh, Jesus visited India” - which has a Muslim pir dargah in Kashmir. The surprising part about this is that it references another itenerrant “Messiah”-like figure from the 1st cnetury, but from the latter half of the 1st century and not from the Jewish tradition at all - rather to Apolonius of Tyana. Visited that place - not impressive.

An acquaintance of mine married an Indian gal (Christian). There is an early church in India named after Saint Thomas. They say he traveled to India in 52 AD.
