The dualism of ancient Zoroastrianism is analogous not only to modern Islam but the de facto Manichean theology of Christianity that violently suppressed classical polytheism in the West -- the species is prone to "purifying" reactions whenever culture becomes too complex for the norm to process: is Western Liberalism strong enough the protect its freedoms and the advance guard of the transnational Scientific Enlightenment?
