[Austin-ghetto-list] RE: copts and zoroastrians are many what?

[Jon Ford]

Wayne-- Vague pronoun reference? Are you asserting that many Arabs are C and 
Zs, or that many Muslims are? The latter is not true, because Copts are a 
very ancient Christian sect(I suppose you could find some in Saudia Arabia, 
although I believe they are centerd in Egypt. One of my friend is an 
African-American Copt who is currently considering an arranged marriage to a 
lass from the "old country" whom he has never met.The bishop has been 
putting on the pressure!
Zoroastrians, persecuted in modern times by Iranian Muslims, are sun-god 
worshippers. I have a good friend who is a Zoroastrian from Northern Iran 
(although he left when young to go to Cambridge and never came back).
