Persia was such a wonderful and open culture at one time. It breaks my heart to see such brutality in the name of religion.
I wish I could appeal to the Persian people and their proud history, and tell them that incidents such as this will go down as dark blotches in their history.

- bilbo0s 15y agoEven if they lose they could come out on top. Victors write history, but the vanquished ... if they are crafty ... write legends. And then you are in REAL trouble. The crucifixion of the Christ was only the first step in Christianity's eventual conquest of Rome.
