Quote:No persia is not Persia. Arabs attacked and stole a lot of our lands some 1400 years ago. WE WANT IT BACK (note my wonderful sarcasm)!!! :learn: During the reign of Yezdegerd III, the successor of Chosroes II, and the last of the Sassanian kings, the Arab invaders attacked Persia and its Mesopotamian territories more and more boldly. In 650 Khâlid, one of the Arab generals, assuming the offensive, defeated the Persian troops on the border of the Euphrates valley. The Christians of this region soon submitted to him. Then the Arabs invaded the country about the Tigris. In 634 Abu Ubaid of Taif, to whom Khâlid assigned the task of annexing Persia, was utterly defeated and slain by the Persians, who, however, were routed in 635-66 by Caliph Omar at Bowaib. Towards the close of the year 636, or in 637, they were again defeated by the Arabs, under Sa'd, at Kadisiyya. The victorious Arabs entered Babylonia and took Seleucia after a lengthy siege. Thence they crossed the Tigris and fell on Ctesiphon, Yezdegerd fleeing towards the Medo-Babylonian frontier. Meantime another army of Arabs had occupied Lower Irâk and entered Susiana. The decisive and final victory took place in 640-42 at Nehavend, near Ecbatana, when the great Persian Empire and the Sassanian dynasty were completely destroyed.Moslems are the people who freed Persians from worhsipping Fire, I thought this is a fact. and the other fact is that moslems who fought under khlaid were all moslems and came from different ethnic origions(Arabic, African, former Jews,former christians and some of them were former persian soldiers that time and Allah bestowed on them by their believing in Islam.
Islam united all Arabs and All moslems together in Brotherly union, the base of it is: La Ilaha Illa Allah Mohammadan rasul Allah!
