Sen,

These were Zoroastrian Baha'is who Abdu'l-Baha had recruited to farm
His land in Galilee. They were not people who remained Zoroastrian or
were natives of Galilee. The descendants of some of them  were among
the Baha'i women who were hung in Shiraz some thirty years ago.

However, my own research on religious minorities substantiates the
fact that the older religions adopt changes which parallel the ones of
the dominant religion.

warmest, Susan
