I agree with you 100%. All burqa and hijab and nikab and abaya discussions henceforth moving forward should only be initiated by women and indulged in by women. It should be a PDF rule. Strictly enforced. We don't see women discussing circumcision here. Or farts and bellybutton lint...

I have a serious question. When I last went to Dubai, I saw the most bewildering choice of burqas in some supermarket my cousin took me to. Seriously ornate and encrusted with a lot of blingy glittering stuff as well as stones (rhinestones?) etc. in intricate patterns. Does the Quran not...

You are wasting your time posting while in fact you should be contributing pictorially.

Araz that is indeed a misconception that superimposes the laws of the Indian based/origin Parsi Zoroastrian community on to the whole faith. Granted that today, the Indian Parsi Zoroastrian community is pretty much the flag bearer of the ancient faith, but the actual rules of the faith per our...

As is very evident from the news in both our countries, their respective systems work. The wealth is shared around by mutual arrangement. Aaj hammara turn, kal aapka, parson kissi aur ka. Bottom line - the faces and protagonists keep changing giving us the perception of change and control...

You are absolutely wrong. See Islamabad and New Delhi. See the roads and houses and enclaves they live in.

The Chinese were fragmented too. They had their warlords who were virtual emperors. But they had the racial and spiritual unity of a single people. That is what we did not have. And what the Brits recognized quickly and milked for 300 years. What exactly did the Brits win in the second...

The Brits did not do it for you and me. They were comfortable here for the long haul. Our brown backsides were to have served the gora sahibs for a whole lot longer, had the second world war not sapped them completely. Gandhi's non-violence movement did balls all. The only way to stand up...

Please remember that we have to thank the British for uniting us and finally galvanizing us into action with a kick up our *****. Please stop crying about what the British did to us. Why did the British not make headway with the Chinese? Or the Japanese for that matter? We have wasted the...

Not needed - sad - but not needed

On the charge of proselytizing, the accusers may want to take a look at this and decide if their charges hold water: http://www.heritageinstitute.com/zoroastrianism/pdf/helengerth.pdf Please read the CONCLUSION section pasted below at least - pretty revealing about how our community is...

HOMAGE TO MUSHKIL ASAAN BEHRAM YAZAD - One who eases difficulties Many faiths and spiritual beliefs have a celestial being that is invoked for victory over evil, for protection from harm, for healing of illness. This website pays homage to the warrior deities who protect us in times of...

Abii and other Iranians who want to learn more about their faith but cannot for whatever reason and want to reach out, here are the links of Zoroastrian Anjumans across the world: Useful Links Other Zoroastrian Associations in the USA: •FEZANA (Federation of Zoroastrian...

What do you think? I am trying to convert someone? Parsis do not convert. Period. If someone has made up his mind to come back to his ancestral faith, that is between him and his God. You and I are nobodies. We should mind our business. And let others go on with theirs.

I have not heard a peep out of you when there are 101 threads running with multiple verses quoted from the Quran. Or calls for the faithful to unite. Be consistent. Otherwise it smells of sour grapes. Or getting a small taste of your own medicine.

I was just going through this thread http://www.defence.pk/forums/members-club/189514-iranians-india-model-minority.html Wow! What a dustup that was ! :guns: A lot of old combatants good friends now. :cheers: And a lot of old combatants still circling the corral. :pop: Should we merge...

If the topic is on Indian Parsis, then Zoroastrianism, Iranians, Arabs, Islam, India, and Hindus are all on topic my friend. A glass of water does not hold water without the glass. Or sand to begin with.

Ok, this is like your Kasab burden of evidence discussion with vsdoc then. :help:

Where are your numbers? I went through the whole thread, read a lot from you, but I do not see any numbers from you? Besides of course the hundreds of your Iranian friends who are still happily Muslim or Jew or Bahai. But NOT Zoroastrian. :flame:

Never mind. :disagree: Here is a fantastic piece written by a learned priest and scholar on Zoroastrian studies, Farrokh Jal Vajifdar, which brings out the truth from our ancient texts (Gathas, Avesta, etc.) about Zoroastrianism and Conversion...
