You aren't one of those islamist sympathizers we have been warned about joining various web site to try and sway opinions on muslims and the war, are you?

Hardly, since I view Islam as the religion of the antichrist. The 'abomination of desolation' spoken of in Revelations.

Where the hell did you get the notion that I am sympathetic to Islam?

Because while I enjoyed '300' very much I view it as poor history? And the Persians of that period were Zoroastrians not Muslims - the 3 Magi who brought Jesus gifts were Zoroastrian priests.

A feeling.

......"the 3 Magi who brought Jesus gifts were Zoroastrian priests"......

Where is the evidence for that? Why would Zoroastrians worship the King of the Jews? How would they know about the Jewish prophesies and if they weren't Jews, why would they believe them if they knew of them? Where does the Bible even say there were 3 of them? The "3" comes from songs and legends, but we don't really know how many there were.

There were Jewish astrologers and the Magi were Jews. There were also many Jews at the period that were looking for the "Christ" to come at that time.
