<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Zoroastrian Iranians in Yazd (I think that's the place) have always been of that faith. Their ancestors had never converted. Therefore, they must be Iranian. Likewise, pockets of the religion survived in other parts of Iran, though heavily persecuted both in the past and still facing trouble today.

That is correct there a small Zoroastrian population in Yazd which never converted to Islam.

That is good to know. All power to Iranians as they break from the Arab enslavement.
