Zoroastrianism: Latino followers of Zorro!

One of the earliest examples of a fictional masked avenger with a double identity.

It’s strange that an article describing the violent spread of Islam states that the reason the Zoroastrian sect survived for a century was because of the Islamic policy of religious tolerance. It’s frightening that Islam spread so fast due to its intrinsic violence. And Islam still seems to spread through violence.

Anyway, the article is quite long, and I did not read past the first couple of paragraphs. I just wanted to comment on that odd description of Islam.
