Why Did the Persians Capitulate?
It is surprising that so many of the Islamic portraits of Mohammed are by Persian artists. With the ability for such refined art, one would have thought they would never have succumbed to the harsh and crass world of Islam.
But, looking at their history, they discarded Christianity while it was at their feet. They were too busy expanding their territory. By disregarding Christianity which could have probably saved them and the lesser countries around them (they could have fought on behalf of those countries, as their ancestors fought on behalf of the Jews) they ended up with a horrible fate instead. I doubt they will ever get out of it.
And this, the country of Cyrus the Great, liberator of the Jewish people, who is mentioned innumerable times in the Old Testament.
Now, there is legitimate talk of revisiting the region once again, to uproot this evil which has festered there.
