I have yet to meet Zoroastrians who hate either Jews or Christians. Not even hate Moslems

Well, I know an ex-Zoroastrian who despises Moslems, but he was in Bombay and that was after the 2008 Mumbai attacks

however, FARS is correct -- Zoroastrianism is based on positiveness, on light, the God of light, Ahura Mazda, quite in contrast to Al

As Fars said their DNA is based on “goodness” not hate.

If any Zoroastrian or ex-Zoroastrian has to despise Moslems, it shouldn't be because of 2008 Mumbai Moslem attacks.

Zoroastrians, in general, have been raped, killed, maimed & more in Moslem ruled Iran for 13 centuries, and right up to early 20th century, even in their own communities, in particular.

Yet, Zoroastrians in Iran are & have been tolerant & non-violent, because that's what their faith has always taught. Though, Zoroastrians are also human. One can't expect to be raped & pillaged and yet not be resentful, though still Zoroastrians are not violent.

So, sorry to be blunt, but Mumbai affected victims (Zoroastrian or otherwise) have only experienced the tip of the iceberg, and can go cry me a river.. call me very UN-Zoroastrian words an sentiments... but that's my point.

Then I must not have read the same description of the religion that y’all did, because the one that I read stated their belief that Jews and Christians were of the Devil, and needed to be wiped out.
