Babak Khorramdim lived from 795 to 838 AD

He was a freedom fighter fighting the Islamic conquerors of Iran and managed to keep them at bay for 20 odd years

Thank You for the ping. I wish I knew the history of the Middle East and Africa. Your pings help to teach me and I am grateful for your pings.

Thanks for the ping, Cronos!

I have to say, I'm really surprised that this monument to a guy who fought against Islam is being put up in a nation that is almost 100% Islamic.

They're not concerned about possible violence?
