An Ethnic Mosaic of Islam's Heartland

Here is a great map I found of the Islamic world. Notice that USA now occupies two of the "Red" countries (Afghanistan and Iraq), it has military bases on something like half a dozen of the Red countries, and it is currently flirting with the idea of invading two other Red countries, Iran and Syria (Personally I pray we don't invade either one, but I see the corporate propaganda machine has already started a campaign against Iran much like what it did to Iraq in late 2002-March 2003 )

I just thought I'd share this excellent map I found with everyone who happens to read this. Comments invited

This map is a LAUGH! Iranians don`t care about Turks and Arabs/Negroids.
When they could they would make a new apartheid system in the "Islamic" world! And the Iranians"and their Aryan brother tribes" would be the highest caste!

Iranians=Kurds+Persians+Baluches+Pashtun s+Tajiks...

When the Arabs would attack any of these Iranian tribes every Iranian tribe would attack the Arabs. Do you forget how the Kurds of Iraq support the Iranians? Do you really think they care about Arabs?
Kurds feel as Iranians not as Arabs or Turks.
Would in Iran be an other goverment all Iranian countries would united!
This is the truth nothing else.
USA can do with Arabs what they want, but please not with the oil!
The Arabs stole many land from us! 4 million Iranians still live at the east cost of the Arabic half island. This mean when Irane Bozorg"united Iran" would attack them, these Iranians would support Irane Bozorg so Iran could control the whole oil reserves of the Near East!

Maybe not, but this map doesn't suggest that all Muslims are one people, it just shows the countries that constitute the 'Islamic heartland'. I don't have to remind you that Iran is overwhelmingly Muslim, with very few Zoroastrians left, the number of Zoroastrians is in the tens of thousands, isn't it? Iran is obviously a part of the Islamic world

Official it is in the Iranian world(Kurdistan to Pamir) by two million.
Sample: Uzbekistan
The Tajiks there feel as Iranians. It is allowed to choose your religion.
So over 200.000 Tajiks converted to Zoroastrian!

What do you think would happen in the Iranian hearland Iran?
200.000? LOL... 5-10 million.
In 2 generations after the fall of Mullahs Iran will be an Islamic free zone!

[JoeDas]

Can you provide a source for this claim that there are millions of Zoroastrians? I've always heard there weren't more than a few hundred thousand at the most, and tens of thousands at the least

In 2 generations after the fall of Mullahs Iran will be an Islamic free zone!

That would be nice, but if what you're saying is true, you should just pray that Iran doesn't become a religiously divided society like many European countries were and some still are (Protestants vs. Catholics)

One thing that never made sense to me was why the Kurds named their capital after Suleyman when they are culturally/linguistically Indo-Aryan and not Turkic.

[Shapur]

Kurds are Iranians not Indo-Aryans. Their is no capital of Kurds.
There are serval towns like Kirkuk, Kermanshah, Van, Mosul, Sananja...

Zoroastrianism
World Wide"official": 1,695,615

Iranian World:
Iran: 760,000 "Iranian general"
Afghanistan: 350,000 "Tajiks"
Uzbekistan: 190,000 "Tajiks"
Kazakhstan: 80,000 "Tajiks"
Tajikistan: 50,000 "Tajiks"
Pakistan: 10,000 "Parsis"

Western World:
United States: 100,000
United Kingdom: 50,000
Canda: 25,000

East Asia:
Bangladesh: 590 "Iranian general"
Sri Lanka: 1,200 "Iranian general"
India: 73,820 "Iranian general"
China: 5,000 "Tajiks/Yagnobis"


That are the official numbers.

The unofficials:

Iranian Highland: ~8 million
Central Asia: ~3 million
Caucasus: ~1 million
West Asia: ~0.5 million
Western World: ~1 million

I think these numbers say all! The Zoroastrianism will expand and rise up again! The days will come where we are again by 200 million Zoroastrians!


The Asha is the best Thing!

Their unofficial capital is Suleymaniyah. Iranian is still a subset of Indo-Aryan.

kurds may be speaking an iranian language but kurds hate persians as much as they hate arabs, the only thing kurds seem to care is the support of zionist capital these days which operates 100% against iranian interests. persians therefore often look down upon kurds and baluchis.

by the way whats that afro haired jew doing in a muslim demography map?

Hey don`t speak so about Iranians. You know nothing about them!
Kurds and Persians are one! When some assholes in western countries look down on any tribe of Iranian origin then they are traitors!
In Iran every person has a Kurd in the family or as ancestor.
Bandari and Kurdish music are the most popular music branches in Iran.
Do you real think we Iranians are stupid and don`t know that people like you will make hate against us?
Our enemy is the goverment not our brothers and sisters!

Asha davaho!
