This "Kurds becoming Zoroastrians" is some wannabe Kurdistanis latest attempt in creating problems where there is none.
Most of us tend to overlook their going overboard with the whole Zarathustra was a Kurd from the Zagros mountains bit.
But it is their ancestral faith too.
You or I are nobody to take it away from them.
These are still early days. There is always a huge language barrier when we meet, which has been becoming way more frequent in the past 3-4 years from where I stand.
Yes there are some opportunist groups who are more into political and financial lobbying.
Some of them tend to go on non-stop about the Christians and Jews more than the Muslims on all sides.
There is definitely a political nuance which is being exploited by all sides.
But then, that is also how Islam grew out of being a small local Arab movement, so no one is sweating that.
We on our part are doing the conversions (reversions), training their priests, providing theological support. Young Indian priests are going over. Their people are coming over (I won't say where).
There is another level that is political and military where big money is involved, and big states, and a lot of involvement by some seriously connected Zoroastrian entities (again, will remain silent in the dynamics).
There is currently a lot of jostling for power.
There are at least 7 major groups we are working with. Without taking sides.
Then there are the Yazidis. For some reason they stay to themselves. But the readiest to convert/revert.
Our goal is clear.
To carve a Zoroastrian homeland in the center of the Muslim middle east.
The final goal is always going to remain taking back Iran.
This is just the start.
Let me know how you see it. I'd like to learn.
Also, are there strong reasons you guys are opposed to the birth of an independent Kurdish state cobbling together territory of Syria and Iraq?
Cheers, Doc
