And no, this is historically accurate. I hate it when people try and dismiss something. My mod respects history.
Under the Sassanid Empire? Its control was largely confined to the area around the Persian gulf, far from defining the whole of Arabia to extrapolate that most of the Arabs were Zoroastrians. I mean, I took my class on Islamic history and went over the primary sources on the pre-Islamic period quite thoroughly, and it most certainly wasn't mostly Zoroastrian from what I've read. I'm just saying I wouldn't generalize that far.

...You're not saying the Persians are Arab, are you?
