"I just wish they were so committed, to physically and violently revolt, against their oppressive mullah terror supporting theocracy."

There is a Zorastrian underground there, and in Afghanistan. Zoraoster is credited as being the first person to preach monothesim. Speaking of Afghanistan, I can never forget their destruction of those majestic 2000 year old Buddhist statues. People used to go there and hang out. The Taliban wanted to wipe out all memory of the people's heritage, so they offed em. It's really too bad, from a cultural standpoint. This, and other Arab efforts to "stamp out idolatry" is remniscent of Europe's old programs against the memory of our Pagan heritage. The Muslim leaders, presently, are about as enlightened as medeival Christians were. Question: How long will it take the leaders to civilize?

The "Hindu" Vedas (Rg Veda, about 1500 - 2000 BC) are the oldest source of monotheism.
