Parsi folks are a group of Zoroastrians who fled the Empire of Persia 1200 - 1500 years ago to western India, to escape religious persecution from invading Muslims.

I never said their was no Exodus. Life in Iran is terrible for everyone I personally have a very good friend that left Iran because of the persecution.

I do enjoy nature's beauty all the time, but the last time I was left speechless was more than 20 years ago. I had climbed into the eastern escarpment of the High Sierra in the Mt. Whitney area. At about 10,000 feet I was in a huge snow-covered meadow and the wind was picking up. I looked up towards the jagged crests 4,000 feet above me and the wind was blowing the powder snow off of the peaks and making long streamers, like banners, from all the pointy spires. Since the sun was setting at the time, these banners were blood red. And right then the moon was setting behind one of the impossibly high mountain peaks just two miles from my mesmerized eyes. Somehow, the majesty of all of God's creation really hit home in that one moment and I cried at the sheer beauty. No, I really did. Didn't bother me. It felt really good.

Strange that these guys should say that there are still a lot of Parsis in Iran and Central Asia, because we know the Ayothollahs wouldn't tolerate any other Faith there!?
Ever since the Ayothollah returned and they got power, even the Bahais had to flee!?
I know a lot of Iranian Muslims who came here and even converted to Christianity because they would be slaughtered in Iran!
In fact, we hired a couple and they hate the Muslims; while we are just cautious of them; because they know the whole thing from inside!?
Most of what they told us checks out.
A lot of Iranian lady Doctors and well qualified people are hiding in the West! All in Chritian names. They have helped other qualified Iranian people to migrate and they all have one common story to tell about how Iran has been systematically impoverished by it's Theocratic Leaders.
If what these guys say is true, then why the exodus?

No, there are many Zoroastrians strewn across the Middle east and a growing population in Central Asia in the C.I.S.
They are mostly concentrated in Iran, however....
