No please, learn what it is before making comments like this. Nowrooz has NOTHING to do w/ these islamists. It is actually the opposite and the symbol of everything islam is not.

Nowrooz is the ancient Persian festival celebrating their new year and the coming of spring. It is based on Iran’s ancient heritage and religion which was Zoroastrian before the invasion of Arab moslems. It is a beautiful festival with many symbolic references to renewal, new day, peace, hope, “change” and the coming of spring and love and harmony. Many of symbols of Easter are similar to the Persian Nowrooz (nowrooz literally means new day!).

That is my short version! :^)
