Why do muslims online get so triggered by zoroastrianism?

>>1461829
Medieval Islamic civilization was pretty much based on a Persian foundation. Music, art, architecture, etc. Muslim Arabs don't like admitting this but they can ignore it, it's just neckbeard bragging rights.

What triggers them is the idea that islam was influenced by a heretical religion. Praying 5 times a day? Prayer caps? A ton of jewish traditions imported into islam via christianity? All ultimately rooted in Zoroastrian practices. This stings them to their core.

It's best to think of it as one of many avenues through which the Arab inferiority complex shows itself. I can't imagine non-Arab muslims giving a shit.

I vote Zoroastrianism as the official religion of /his/. Not to get Arabs assmad but because it's the biggest relatively recently deceased religion.

>recently deceased

It's still around though.

>tiny-ass community in iran
>tiny-ass community in india
>some diaspora neckbeards reverting to it the way fat white teens revert to "paganism"

For all intents and purposes it's not around in any meaningful sense, socio-politically.

Which makes it all the more funny that arabs get so butthurt about it.

>>1461900
Hardly.

Are the yasnas from the Gathas even translated into Modern Arabic? I'm shocked anyone in the Arab world cares. Aren't there only like 200 of them left?

Because people only like it as a way to spite Islam. If India had been converted to Islam while Iran somehow remained Zoroastrian, I imagine everyone on this board would go on about how wonderful based Hinduism was while Zoroastrians would be the new pooinloos.

tl;dr zoroastrianism makes arabs question islam's theological purity and reminds them of their cultural irrelevance

I'm just saying, it's not quite dead yet. Also we have some genuine diaspora around. America, Australia, and Canada all have populations of them.

>>1461932
But Hinduism is neat.

I didn't even know that zorastrianism existed before coming here desu.

>>1461952
As long as you aren't low caste.

I wouldn't want to live under it, but their religious tradition is very interesting.

Personally I like Zoroastrianism because it's historically significant, had some interesting ideas, and am kind of sad to see that it's dying out. Is it wrong to be bothered that such a huge piece of history (it was after all the religion of one of the great empires) is dying out?

>>1461974
It's not, though I kinda got the feeling people view it with a romanticized llght.

Nobody is triggered by or cares about majus mushrikeen

We care about their kuffar descendants (Shia """"""Muslims"""""")

You fell for the Parsis meme

There are communities of zoroastrian converts(more than 10k) in Brazil, California, ,and Russia. And an enormous community of zoroastrian converts(200k +) in Kurdistan.
