Sigh...yet another sensationalist video post from Hindustani Times.....they need to stoke up the flames to earn revenue from clicks...just another clickbait merchant thru sensationalizing events, taken out of context, perhaps even under the pay from Persia's military propaganda unit....
If this how they wish to play it out to fool the naive, then may the more discerning realize REALITIES.
1. The last prophet - Muhammad - had spent many years in writing letters to Persia, even on his deathbed, to convince the Persians on monotheism even after conquering Arabia. He could had simply over-run the ancient empire of Persia with his massive troops, but he chose a more conciliatory means thru dialogue to do so, as he, being the last prophet, had DIVINE knowledge.
2. However, when he passed on, (570 – 8 June 632 AD) his once barbaric but newly converts nomads, with yet to fully understand Civilization & its efforts, let alone the TRUE message of Islam, they wasted no time in conquest of Persia under the Sasanian Empire in 633 AD.
While most of the Persians were serfs & had Zoroastrian beliefs - a singularity - & easily succumbed to Islam, however, the Persian rulers & elites & were NOT that easy to give up their power, as they were of Aryan origins with adventurous ancestors whom fled from the cold Russian steppes to seize warmer fertile lands such as those in the landmass of back then & called it Persia. Their distinctive BLUE EYES are evidences of such, & ARE NOT ARABS.
Such inherited genetic traits thus led to the schisms in Islam between Arabs & Persians of today.... Those intelligent Persian elites saw the loophole where they may yet again rise, thru siding with an sidelined trusted companion whom the last prophet had designated to lead the Arabs - Ali, created the Shia faith & the rest is history...
ALLAH, known by many other names across time, space & cultures, knows best, that it will take much time & tribulations to uplift the Arabs, just as Christians had to go thru for centuries in order to firm up Civilization for progress & evolution, which was why Ali - a good & courageous man but was born beyond his time, was not chosen....
3. Unfortunately, yet again, the Persian elites attempts to repeat history today, by MISUSING & ABUSING Islam for their own power & glory, by threatening other Muslims whom do not side with the sectarian Shias will be punished....only further evidence of their attempts at religion supremacy....
4. There are no need for threats, nor war or civil war in Iran to happen. All it needs is just one phone call to the White House Administration, which will SAVE ALL LIVES on ALL sides......
