Freddy Mercury Balsara was an Indian Parsi (born in Zanzibar) not an Iranian Parsi. Balsara means "from Balsar" (or Valsad), a place in Gujarat, India, where Parsis (Zoroastrians) sought refuge a millenium ago when they were driven away from Iran by the growing power of Islam. imdb.com >Freddie Mercury was born on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar, on the 5th of September 1946. His parents, Bomi and Jer Bulsara, sent him off to a private school in India, from 1955 til 1963. In 1964 Freddie and his family flew to England. Freddie was very delighted to come to England. In 1966 he started his education at the Ealing College of Art, where he graduated in 1969. He loved art, and because of that, he often went along with his friend Tim Staffell, who played in a band called Smile. Also in this band where Brian May and Roger Taylor.

My favourite Iranian is Allen Salmasi, without whom there would not be CDMA rampaging across the planet. He merged his company with QUALCOMM and that provided the cashflow which enabled CDMA development. He was also instrumental in getting Globalstar off the ground. He is not finished yet. engineering.purdue.edu As a child, my brother and I had a bomb club. We'd manufacture improvised explosive devices. He is 8 years older than me, so he knew the "how to". He said the way the club worked was "You put up the money and I'll put up the brains". That seemed fair enough to me as I had no idea how to make bombs but had money [being entrepreneurial at a very young age, recycling beer and soft drink bottles, selling mussels, finding keys, mowing lawns and anything else which would get cash]. My early lesson worked well. Now I put up the money and Dr Jacobs and Allen Salmasi and swarms of others put up the brains. Even dumb people can be in bomb clubs. They just need to learn, work, save, then invest in somebody with brains. Mqurice
