Historical note; There were no Muslims, Mohammedans or Islamists at the time of Cyrus.....or Xerxes or Artaxerxes. There really weren't any Arabs to speak of either.
Even later, Medina, the muslim holy city wasn't muslim prior to Mohammed's raids and pillage. It had a large Jewish and Christian population.

Correct. Mohammed was born in the year ?634...well it was 600-something. '300' is supposed to take place 2500 years ago. Iran should read up on its own history before they go mouthing off.
