Hi there,
I would love to join in but for the fast approaching semsester end.
Quickly, a few first thoughts:
1. The motivation for the conquest - The very reason Persia was invaded was because it's Zoro rulers rejected islam. A messenger was sent to the King with 2 options submit to Islam or war. The very motivation for the conquest was the promotion of islam and religious persecution was the logical consequense that followed.
2. It is essential to establish a time frame, since the article is on the Muslim conquest of Persia, one needs to make a distinction between persecutions during the course of the conquest and those that happened after it. This would refer persecution by the invading armies under umar. Let me see if I can dig up more dirt this rogue ;)
3. Sources - There is no dearth of references regarding persecution of Zoros, but you'll have to lookup the specific timeline within the context of the article to provide a source. Persecution was rampant and documented after the fall of sassind empire. Which is when Persia was officially in the hands of the Arab beduins.
4. My references - I began writing up article with few off hand sources which I knew in the long run wouldn't hold ground (such as the economicexpert.com), however I was replacing them with solid references such as books and journal papers. There are many books cited in the reference section of the article, some are comletely available on links, you can search through them.
I will chip in as time permits, and will forward you relevant references soon.
A curious question, am I speaking to a Pakistani Zoro?

value: invalid character (

References that you *specifically* requested are on Page 148 and much much more :) Few excerpts are as follows:
1. By Tabari records, Arab tax-collextors in the eight century would mistreat Zoroastrians, tearing off the sacred girdle and hanging it round their necks in derision.
2.The humiliations of the poll-tax drove others to renounce the old faith
3. they have accepted islam only to escape the poll tax ...lol
Click on the link, most of the book is freely available. This should keep you busy for a few days ..hehehhe. If you need references in to prove or disprove claims, post it on my talk page. I will get back to you ASAP.
Happy editing. Saroshp ( talk) 23:21, 14 December 2009 (UTC)saroshp

Hello, I'm contacting you because you appear to have done some work on List of transitional fossils. The problem I'm facing is this. I'm interesting in making a video and other content in favor of evolution, and I want to show pictures of the fossils in chronological order, i.e fish -> amphibians -> early reptiles -> mammals, etc. However the wikipedia page is showing only the drawings and not the fossils. Do you know where I might be able to find pictures of the real fossils? digitwoman (talk) 20:57, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
