Zarathustra and Nieztsche fall in line also with the more purist believers in Judaism. I find that ironic, since Hitler made every Nazi soldier read Nieztche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." But, then, almost anyone who wanted to could take Nieztche and interpret him to support whatever philosophy they were espousing.

Haim, Zoraoster (Zarathustra) did promote a monotheistic religion in Persia. It did not vanish; there are still followers, some who have moved to India. (I think Zubin Mehta, the conductor, was one, but I am not sure.) The Moslems would not have wiped them out because the Moslems saw the followers of Zoraoster in the same way the Moslems saw the Christians and Jews: people of the book who had had an earlier prophet, which Mohammad was the last in these line of prophets. Nietzsche is really problematical in lots of ways and I would be careful about linking my ideas to his unless you understand his ideas and why lots of people think it was not accidental the Nazis adopted them.
