[Ultima Thule]

@Maarkhoor what is the problem you man, they are not worshiping, they were worship fire in their ancient history but not now and what about our ancient ancestors who worship idols and similar type of festivals in Pakistan in Chitral and Hunza, Kalash festival which is not Islamic although at much lower scale than this Iranian festival, so evey Islamic countries have a pre-Islamic culture and heritage, so don't ruin this thread and enjoy @Maarkhoor and repect our brotherly nation culture @Maarkhoor and keep the religions out of this Thread

Btw, Pakistan in ancient times before the Turks of Central Asia moved down south and convertend ppl were mostly Buddhist, like all of swat valley to taxila was known as the Mecca of Buddhism and Buddhist used to do pilgrimage to modern day pakistan. There are many holidays and festivals they had which can be celebrated to connect us back to our land and ancestors it doesn’t mean we are now all of sudden leaving Islam. It means we are connecting back to our roots of the land to celebrate who we are just like how the Persians do and just like how the Arabs do with their festival of reeves in the gulf (yes Arabs also celebrate their pre-Islamic festival in the gulf mostly)
