Who was a threat to the Zoroastrian community?

The Zoroastrian community faced significant threats primarily from the rise of Islam in the 7th century, which led to the decline of Zoroastrianism in Persia (modern-day Iran). Following the Muslim conquest, Zoroastrians faced persecution, forced conversions, and social marginalization. Additionally, the spread of other religions and ideologies, including Christianity and later secularism, further challenged the survival of Zoroastrian beliefs and practices. These factors contributed to the community's shrinking population and loss of influence over the centuries.
