Whatever happened to Zoroastrianism in Central Asia?
>>216330220And don't say "hurr, abbassid caliphate"
>>216330220From what I understand, Islam supplanted it pretty easily since both religions have similar dualistic set-ups, making the transition from one to the other comparatively smooth.
It was already a stagnant religion with a corrupt priesthood. If it hadn’t been for Islam they probably would’ve ended converting to Nestorian Christianity
>>216331164Why didnt the same happen to Christianity then?
>>216331535It did in some places.
>>216330220Isram ruined it
>>216331185This. East Turkestan was majority Nestorian until Black coworker
>>216330220it's just like paganism now, an ancient meme religion that left no trace
>>216330220Islam essentially obliterated Zoroastrianism from Iran. Causing Zoroastrians to take refuge elsewhere
>>216332767xinjiang was buddhist >>216333533there are still zoroastrians in iran (real ones not faggot secular larpers from muslim background)
>>216334861>faggot secular larpers from muslim backgroundIs this a common thing? What are they like?
>>216335680Imagine Nordic pagan larpers but with Zoroastrianism the iranian part of la is full of them
>>216330220isnt zorro a spanish noble or something
>>216335680nationalism and we wuzzing mostly,using the ancient persian empires as an ideal of strength and wealth that modern iran should aspire too
>>216333533My coworker said he taught a university student who still practiced Zoroastrianism, he was talking about the ritual where they put dead people on a massive tower for vultures to eat them. Now that I think of it it's pretty crazy that there are any Zoroastrians at all in Canada.
>>216335680No it’s not common outside of the internet, >>216336016 this weird guy is just stereotyping usSure some people wear the necklace, but that’s the furthest point of “larping”
>>216330220Islam.
>>216335680i'm not like the other thirdies (or in this case middle easterners) syndrome
>>216330220guess they were killed or converted by peaceful muslims like the rest of them, like buddhists
>>216330220>one brown desert religion destroyed another brown desert religion How interesting!
>>216336072He’s a one piece character
