The only fundamentalists I can admire are the Amish. They seem to be themselves, and don't seem to try to convert others to their way of thinking. Zoroastrians (aka Parsis) are the same. They do not and can not convert someone else into their religion. Matter of fact, if a Parsi woman married a non-Parsi man, and had a kid, the kid could not claim to be Parsee. If a Parsi man married a non-Parsi woman, and they had a kid, the kid could be considered a Parsi depending on parental wishes. Theres historical reasons for this approach : When the Parsis came to India many centuries ago, they gave an undertaking to the king of the Gujarat area, that they were seeking refuge, and would not undertake any conversion activities. They stand by their word even today.
