The Persian Times
For the Best in Persian News

The streets of the capital today were filled with Persians from throughout the nation who had come to hear Milad Ushtra give his inspiring speech at a local rally.

Mr. Ushtra is apart of a majority group within Persia looking to bring together Persians from all over the Middle East in the hopes that they will embrace their heritage and rekindle the great civilization which once ruled over most of the
region. Critics of Mr Ushtra believe he is nothing more than a terrorist looking to destabilize the region and promote treason against the major governments. However, Mr. Ushtra and many followers state that they are not in any way militant and they just wish to get Persians to promote their heritage peacefully

Here is an exclusive exert from Mr. Ushtra's speech today:

My brothers and sister's for far too long we have lived under the banners of a divided Middle East. For far too long we have allowed our people to live and grow apart from a past which many seem to have forgotten all together. In the name of Ahura Mazdah we must find ourselves among the chaos which is our world today. We must find ourselves and identify ourselves as what we really are...Persians! Our ancestors long ago formed one of the world greatest Empires and ruled over this region for centuries. Yet now it seems we have all been divided and mislead into the directions of Islam and Christianity. I tell you now those are not our religions and those are not our directions. We must turn back before it is too late and our people die out. I say it is time that we embrace Zoroastrianism again. I tell you now that it is the greatest step we can take to start ourselves on the journey to bringing back our great civilization and showing the world once again the might and grace of our people, the great people of Persia!

When asked about Mr. Ushtra and his public rally the Shah was unable to talk with us. However the government did release a statement saying that Mr. Ushtra was simply exercising his right to freedom of speech and that at the moment they find nothing dangerous about him or his beliefs.
