How can you have such a rich and beautiful heritage that once ruled the world, but your homeland today is a backwards dictatorship headed to oblivion.I guess we English will soon know this feeling.
>>216391695This feeling is familiar to most of humanity
>>216391695Are there any preislamic persian philosophers?

>>216391805It is not.There are no other nations today which are struggling and decaying shadows of their former selves, still inhabited by the same race of peoples, the way Iran is.No race of peoples has fallen from such great heights as the Iranians have, though we Britons are trying our hardest.

>>216392126What changed in Egypt? If you're talking about the arab conquests, then barely 1.5 bedouins could replace the huge population of Egypt. Most of modern Kyrgyzstan was inhabited only by scythians and other indo-european nomads. Philosophy appeared in Ancient Greece
>>216392291>What changed in Egypt?The closest direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians are the Coptic Christians, who are only 10% of the population>Philosophy appeared in Ancient GreeceSure, if you take philosophy in the academic sense you are rightWhat's it like in Kyrgyzstan?

Acting like Persia stopped being relevant in the world right after they adopted Islam is revisionist history. They were one of the most influential Muslim countries both politically and culturally and they have had multiple empires after the Arab conquests. Iran is shit and irrelevant nowadays because it's a stupid backward commie dictatorship not because the dictatorship in question is islamic
>>216391695Being English must be suffering.From a criminal global empire to being replaced by Jeets and Muslims.
>>216391695Islam is the reason why many muslim countries have not advanced. They should reject it and become normal people.
>Iran is a communist countryIs Serbia the dumbest country in human history?
>>216393161Khomeini's ideology was based on the works of iranian commie Ali Shariati, so it's almost true. Shariati tried to create a synthesis of communism and sharia, Khomeini went further.
>>216392920>Acting like Persia stopped being relevant in the world right after they adopted Islam is revisionist history.Not even what I saidPersia continued being influential in spite of Islam, not because of it. But it stopped being relevant around 1400, and since then Christian Europe became only more culturally and technologically sophisticated and continued to advance exponentially for centuries whilst the Middle East stagnated under Islam. Iran had not modernised quickly enough by the 20th Century.>backward commie dictatorship not because the dictatorship in question is islamicIt's bothand the Soviet Union accomplished a lot actually despite Communism
