Islamicb> conquestb> of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Islamicb> conquestb> of Iran led to the collapse of the Sassanid Empire, the eventual decline of the Zoroastrian religion in Iran, and the birth of Islamicb> civilization.
The Islamicb> conquestb> was aided by the material and social bankruptcy of the Sassanids; the native populations had little to lose by cooperating with the conquering power.
Another legacy of the Arab conquestb> was Shi'a Islam, which, although it has come to be identified closely with Iran, was not initially an Iranian religious movement.

You want to discount 1300 years of Islam in Iran- if it weren't for those darn Arabs bringing Islam to Persia, them folks would be allies of the European zionists who usurped the land of Biladul Sham.
Iran has the largest Jewish community in the Muslim world and their religion is recognized by the Islamicb> republic.
If Iran was not under the yoke of Islam today and free to practice their own religions Israel and Iran would be close allies...

Babur, a descendant of Timur, used Kabul as the base for his conquestb> of India and the establishment of the Mughal empire in the 16th cent.
In September, in a severe blow to the Northern Alliance, Massoud died as a result of a suicide bomb attack by assassins posing as Arab journalists.
In Mar., 1999, a UN-brokered peace agreement was reached between the Taliban and their major remaining foe, the forces of the Northern Alliance, under Ahmed Shah Massoud, an ethnic Tajik and former mujahidin leader, but fighting broke out again in July.

Afghanistan, Islamicb> Fascism

Instead, it is well known in Israel and elsewhere that, however mild and conciliatory Palestinians leaders often are in the foreign press or when speaking to foreigners, the rhetoric in the Arabic language press is usually violent and vicious, conjuring images of attack, conquestb>, mastery, and annihilation.
Unlike Saddam Hussein, who would be happy to simply murder his enemies, even if they delivered themselves to him peacefully, Israel must be sensitive to Western public opinion, including Western liberal Jewish opinion, all of which is vulnerable to images of non-violent protestors being attacked by police or soldiers.
Hawai'i hardly seemed like the same universe as Afghanistan, and they may have been surprised -- as surprised as me to find Afghans in Honolulu -- to find someone like me who spoke some Persian, a language that most educated Afghanis are liable to know a little of at least (or know well).

THE IRANIAN: Dictatorship and democracy, Masoud Kazemzadeh

If Iran is to become democratic, we need to condemn the dictatorial policies of the Pahlavis and Islamicb> fundamentalists, and we need to embrace plurality and tolerance of identities.
Ethnic sub-nationalism in Iran is of recent origins and goes back to the resistance to the fascistic polices of the Pahlavis and the Islamicb> fundamentalists in the past 80 years.
Ferdowsi's sense of tragedy over the conquestb> of Sasanid Iran stems not so much from the religion of the conquerors (Ferdowsi was, after all, Muslim), but because of the nomadic and uncivilized nature of the victorious Arab tribesmen who brought the saga of the Iranian nation to an end.

The condition of intellectuals in Iran

Turning to the 13 centuries since the Islamicb> conquestb> of Iran the number of intellectual thinkers and reformers who died at the hands of autocratic kings and religious reaction are truly uncountable.
But inside the country, hatred for the religious Islamicb> government grows as each day goes by, despite the killings and the pressures.
It is in this bedlam that a phenomenon called "religious intellectual" surfaces to save Islam and attracts a section of the younger generation for whom the world of progressive thought has been closed and who has been denied any chance to think freely.

Archivistan

The country is situated at the center of a resurgent Islamicb> world, close to a rising China (and India) and the restive ex-Soviet Asian republics, and adjacent to oil-rich states.
But in spite of the recent highly-publicized success of a Predator drone in blowing up a carload of alleged Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen, the system described by the Pentagon as "its eyes in the sky" has for the most part proven to be unreliable and laughably inaccurate.
Lastly, the corporate media assists in establishing the credibility of 'Brand Karzai' by reporting on his incessant international travels, seeking to legitimate him as a statesman of international stature.

Yes to me and to most non-religious and secular groups this is obvious, but unfortunately, due to historic facts the majority of Iranians did not think this way even Reza Shah failed to make the population think secular.

IRAN: UNDERSTANDING THE ENIGMA: A HISTORIANS' VIEW

The word "Iran" was used especially in the empires that ruled for a few centuries before the seventh-century Islamicb> conquestb> of Iran and it continued to be used later, even when there was not a single state in the territory of today's Iran.
Conquestb> did not result in forced or rapid conversion, which took place over time in the early centuries, with the role of Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians theoretically, but not always actually, protected.
Much of this influenced the government and culture of Islamicb> polities, as the conquering Muslim Arabs had less experience with extensive empires and organized states.

portland imc - 2003.09.15 - Does Al-Qaida Exist?

The Taliban attracted large numbers of volunteers from other parts of the Islamicb> world to fight alongside them as they sought to complete their conquestb> of Afghanistan in order to create an Islamicb> state.
However, there were organisations participating in the jihad which did advocate violence against the West and they formed part of a network of radical Islamicb> organisations based in Pakistan which espoused a multiplicity of political objectives.
The risk is that actions by the US Government which deeply offend Islamicb> opinion, such as the recent US-led military intervention in Iraq, will strengthen communication within the network to the point where greater collaboration will create greater effectiveness and the myth of Al-Qaida may become a reality.

In the early years of the Tawheed (Islamicb> conquestb> of the Arabian peninsula) and in the Fatah (Arab-Islamicb> invasion and conquestb> of the upper Middle East and the outside world), a Muslim concept was devised to achieve success against the enemy, Al-Taqiya..
Such an event has been the rise of Islam and its rape, plunder, murder and near annihilation of entire human race which were not Islamicb>.
Fundamentalist groups align closely with the cause of Hamas and Islamicb> Jihad, celebrating their achievements and sharing their murderous attitude toward Jews.

Qandahar of the Arab Conquestb> :: Khyber.ORG

For the Islamicb> period the excavations on behalf of the Society for Afghan Studies have revealed some striking new evidence, particularly for the period of the Arab Conquestb> during the later 7th and early 8th century.
From other campaigns of the 7th century we often read about the hard progress of the Islamicb> forces under the leadership of various governors of Seistan against local semi-autonomous enclaves, the best documented of which are the Shahis.
For the Islamicb> period as for those preceding - we are dealing with certain geographical and environmental constants: the situation of Old Kandahar surrounded by well-watered orchards and fields that made Kandahar the garden or oasis of Afghanistan's south, just as Jalalabad is the garden of the east.

Within a century of his death, an Islamicb> state spread from the Atlantic ocean in the west to central Asia in the east.

All Empires History Forum: Islamicb> Iran

As for when it stopped being important, that's easy--with the Islamicb> conquestb> of Iran in the seventh century.
I knew it had a lot to do with the Arab conquests, but was Islam ever forced upon the Persian/Iranian people, or was it simply a matter of most of the population independently converting over a period of time?
A certain Caliph officially made the Zorostrian's a 'people of the book', hence they wuould have to pay this tax, or convert to Islam.

Islam in Iran: Information From Answers.com

This figure represents a substantial reduction from the estimated 75,000 to 80,000 Jews who resided in the country prior to the 1979 Islamicb> revolution.
Although Shi'as have lived in Iran since the earliest days of Islam, and there was one Shi'a dynasty in part of Iran during the tenth and eleventh centuries, it is believed that most Iranians were Sunnis until the seventeenth century.
The population of Iran is approximately 99 percent Muslim, of which approximately 89 percent are Shi'a and 10 percent are Sunni, mostly Turkomen, Arabs, Baluchs, and Kurds living in the southwest, southeast, and northwest.

iranian.com: Aryadoost Ahanshir, I, Zarathushtra

Perhaps many people feel that a criticism of Zoroastrianism in a very narrowly defined spotlight of its corrupt period is somehow a support of Islam and the Islamicb> Conquestb> of Iran (and by extension, the Islamicb> Revolution).
Iran was the superpower of the era and a small backwater (comparatively) defended their homeland from an invasion of a superior force.
Whatever an individual's conjecture may be, it is of the utmost importance to be accurate in the information used to reach such a strong opinion.

The Sasanian Empire (224 BCE - AD 642)

Thereafter, the Islamicb> conquestb> of Iran was inevitable.
For Iran itself, the extended wars against Byzantium had sapped the energies of the country, as well as weakened its coffers.
But ironically, while Iran was taken over for the moment by a movement of the Arabs and, while the new faith had an immediate simplicity and appeal, it would not be long before the village lords were again to exert a very strong Persianizing influence upon Islam in that area.

ZOROASTRIANISM, THE GREAT RELIGION (AND WAY OF LIFE) OF ANCIENT IRAN, ITS ANTIQUITY AND PRESENT SITUATION IN A GLOBAL WORLD

Everything changed forever after the Arab conquestb> of Iran in the sixth centuty, but the light of Zarathushtra was never allowed to go out, through the tenacity of those who opted to be firm believers of the ancient faith!
It can be safely said that the followers of Zoroastrianism underwent more hardships and trials than the Jews and the early Christians, because almost all were either,through various circumstances, forcefully converted or coerced into another faith; their history, and trials and tribulations hardly known to the world.
But all agree that Zarathushtra's firm belief in God and righteousness, his trials and tribulations and the stiff opposition and rejection of his beliefs, his intimate dialogue with his God, his eventual call of the triumph of good, all these are vividly versified in his Gathas.
