Not according to how Muslims are supposed to follow it. Mullahs exerted this pressure to keep them in power doesn't make Iranians Muslim by origin.The very existence of two distinct brands of Islam, 'Shia' and 'Sunni', show that Islam can and has been divided. There is nothing particularly special about Islam that makes it immune to internal conflict and division.
But most of them do use the reason as an excuse to get in fast into the West. Trust me, you get a lot of those there. I got a couple of team members who were like this on a project.Most Iranians are not political refugees in Western nations...
There was no adoption here as you're giving it a clean chit. It was mass plunder and destruction. Why do you think the Zoroastrians came to India, mate? Don't tell me trading because trading was done even before Islam or Christianity were born in middle east between ancient Iran and ancient India.People adopt new faiths as history marches on. Religion is only one aspect of culture.
Religion and culture are not two different things in eastern world, man. That's something you've to gain awareness on. There is no two words about it. Religion (organized or way of life either) might be personally an option to you but not to an entire civilization brought to the brink of destruction.
