Do you have a link for the donkey story? All I could find was this story which has nothing to do with donkeys.
IN AIRYANNA AND MAZDISNA WE BELIEVE [ Join This Group! ] Dear Ardy, Oh I know that history of Tabari,but I said that it was just a quarter part of all the opressions and tyrannies of Arabs through Iranians include Zoarostrians!
Mohamad the prophet of Muslims first invited The king of Iran king Khusro parviz to join his religion by an invitation letter, but King Khusru parviz teared that letter and said who was that dirty savage arab who wanted me,the king of the world to obey him!and then he sent some of his soldiers to go to medina for killing Mohamad but the persian soldiers were arrested and then they were killed by arabs! later again on Yazdgerd the last king of Sasamnyan's some arabs were sent to invite Yazdgerd and his people for becoming Muslim! just like what it had been done about Greecs, Romans, Egyptians, Etypians and much more places befor...
But greecs, Romans and Iranians who were the center of power of their time didn't listen to Mohamad and arabs for invitation but Etypians and Egyptians who were weak accepted Islam and as a result they sent a lot of foods and women for arabs! and after Mohamad the prophet died, arabs became ill because it was no food, no water and nothing at all in Arabia as a result when Khalifeh Omar sat on the membar in the mosque and talked with arabs about Iran which was the paradise on this earth and had foods,waters and bautiful women!and then he continued and said: we could atack Iran and whatever you were going to capture were the gifts from God! and if you died you would go to paradise~:!
But Arabs were frightened of Iran because it was a big word of their time just like the USA of our present time! but it was sent some men to find some informations about Iran and it's area!
back to Iran,.,,
The tyranny of Mubendan through People,the different kind of dangerouse illnesses and disputes of Royals for taking the place on the throne made arabs to reach their nasty aims! All the heirs of Iran were killed and just a young 14 year-old-prince who was left made the stars showed the evil signes for Iran and Iranians!
When Yazdgerd saw those dirty arabs with their dirty clothes he said getting them out of Iran and ordered to cover their faces with the dust of Iran,but when arabs returned Arabia,the arabs said it was a good signe to bring the earth of enemy's place and it meant we could get over them and then you see they did!
When arabs attacked Iran,they were a group savage who didn't know anyhting about culture,civilization but just they had a strong believe which helped them to get over any impossible thing which was in front of them!
If you read Shanameh you face with the name as Abi vaghas who was the captain of arabs and how he invited IraNIANS to be muslim!
But Rostame farokhzad said that I would prefer to die that accepting the believes of such ahrimans like you nasty arabs!
When arabs attacked Iran,they were so big, dirty foods and dirty clothes,long beard and dirty face who were shouting and it scene made people feel the devils, Ahiramans attacked them so they started to run away!
But Iranian's soldiers stood bravley and fought against them and they defeat them but on other hand Rome was defeated by arabs as a result Omar ordered to sent the group of arabs soldiers who fighted against Romans to join the soldiers who were fighting against Iranians! because Iranians were strong and that arabs weren't able to defeat them easily!
This war conitued for 22 years and eventually it was finished by the gain for Arabs and muslims! The king of Iran,Yazdgerd III who was looking for gathering the army was killed by an Iranian villagar to take his jewelries and then he threw the corps of King into the river! later the corps was found by a priest and he took his staff for himself !the only child of Yazdgerd was brought by the ministers of Iran to China!China sent his soldiers to help the king of Iran but when they heard the king was dead they returned to China again!
The people of Iran became the slaves of Arabs!the girls were sold in the bazaars and markets of arabs,the orphan persian children were crying in the slaving markets,the brave soldiers were killed, While arabs wanted Persian men be muslim and say ashhad ana...and while they started to say these words to avoid from death,their heads were cut off by arabs and the rivers whose color of blue became red of the bloods of thousand Iranians whose head were cut~! the sky became dark and the new page of Iranian's history started to be written and that was what in the Avesta was forsighted as the men from anger race would come one day or Anoushiravan's nightmair which was going to become true ....... a group of this proud nation started to run away from Iran and promised not to talk persian language to Indians but let them live in a far little village which called Gugrate from where they were coming their darling Iran...
a group stayed and fighted against arabs and took their land back... and amoung them there was found a persian soldier whose name was Pirouz and his heart was broken in a terrible way for the persian children's crying in the slaving markets and he promised himself to kill Omar and he did...
(pirouz to Omar:Chonan asyaby barayat besazam ke avayash dar shargh va gharb baraye hamishe shenideh shavad...
Dear Anahita
If you read the history of Tabari and other references by Baladhuri etc...you'd see that muslims did nothing close to "inviting" anyone to islam, they simply attacked, looted, raped, sliced fingers and necks and took over, pure and simple. As a Zoroastrian I think you should definitely re-consider buying into those mohammedan euphemisms designed to soften the effect of Islam's criminality

--- parsi7000 What Zaorostrians suffered from when the muslim arabs started to rule their homland!
Dear friends,
This is not what I 'm writing but that's on the base of a true story which was written in the history but has never been told to people!
But now it's time to open the gates of history and make sense of all injustice which has been done through our poor ancestors by the men of God, Mulsims who were going to inform the message of God on the earth and invited our ancetors to join their religion and did not suffer anymore from unequel right between different levels of people in Sasanyan's times!
But we will see how they suffered our ancestors who made a group of them run away from Iran or stay and be muslim or suffer from unequal rights!
And this is the story of people who has been struggeled and let us be called proud Iranian in the 21st century!
And this is the story of tolarant nation!Iran and Iranian!
1-When arabs attacked Iran,they invited Iranian(Zoarostrians) to accept their religion,the religion which would like them not to suffer from unequel right any more in this world!in islam all the people would be called brothers and sisters and it's the peace religion!the peace religion for the world! Iranian who had suffered from Mubedan in Zoarostrianism got happy as a result when Arabs attacked Iran and in spite of being contineued war for 22 years but eventually Arabs got over Iranians!
Iranians expected to hear that equal slogens from Arabs again but this time Iranians just like a poor children who were going behind a stranger to take a choclate they were fallen into the big hole! The step father frowned and made them do what he wished! and Iranians were deseived! in this new world they had to live with people who didn't come from a civilized place and were n't cultural people and didn't know anything about such things.....
Zoarostrians and Muslims both believed that people out of their catagory weren't pure! Mulsims who couldn't make sense of complicated believes and traditions of Zoarostrians neither respected Zoarostrians' ceremonies nor wanted to accept the existance of Zoarostrains as human! and didn't let and allowed Zoarostrians to step into the mosque in spite of being allowed to Jews and cristians to go but they belived
Zoarostrians were filty,nasty and not pure! But Zoarostrians did the same and started not to let Muslims arrive into their atashgah temples because they believed
Mulsims were filty and not pure too! And it shows that Zoarostrianism wasn't accepted as the official and right religion which was befor Islam for muslims! Muslims time by time came to an agreemnet that Zoarostrians weren't pure as a result they were not allowed to part and use the public health, publics totaly like public baths in spite of being allowed JEWs and Christians to take part in! and also it was advised Muslims not to walk in the places where zoarostrians lived and worked because it might help to lose their pure spirite!
And it made Zoarostrians also absolutley furuios as a result the Mubedan(the priests of Zoarostrians) advised Zoarostrians community not to go to the public health centers of muslims even if they got ill!
The next act was the law of Omar(lanelahe) By the law of Omar the khalifeh of arabs all the Zoarosrians, JEWs,Christians wouldn't be allowed to wear the same clothes like Muslim for being recognized! ESpecially Zoarostrians had to wear the yellow belt,the Yellow hat and was not allowed to wear the healthy Iranian clothes like shoes, socks and tiara! and aboutZoarostrians' women if they dared to walk in the streets they had to wear a yellow tent(chador)which later REd,pink and dark color of clothes included the clothes's colors for them! and Zoarostrians weren't allowed to ride the horse but just the donkey without any kind of equipment! and this was the equel way that Muslims taught none-mulsims could behave and to be!
But i think we should make sense of them and what a terrible life our Zoarostrian ancetors did have in past that make us just bowe our heads in front of all their tolarants which they had before we were born!
Ushta ta, Anahita
