Surviving Dominant Zoroastrianism without Surviving Persia

Ahhh, but several of my favorite cities in Khorasan would have very different skylines. Fire temples rather than some of the coolest minarets I've seen. ;)

Don't forget that Khorasani was born a Zoroastrian and his religious beliefs were unknown. The Abbassids accused him of having sympathies for the Zoroastrians. Also, many of his followers were Zoroastrians. Some went on to lead Zoroastrian revolts in eastern Khorasan.
 
I forget where and who wrote this, but on one of these threads someone said maybe we have Zoroastrianism gravitating ever-more Abrahamic over the centuries. Then Mohammad is influenced by all three "Abrahamic" religions, leading to the formation of a faith which is very similar to Zoroastrianism but a reformed version of it. Could be like Protestant Reformation, maybe a little more distinct (like Mormonism and mainstream Christianity) or even Bahai-like with elements of all major religions. Regions with high amounts of Zoroastrians would be Pahlavi Iran (no Islamic extremism ;)), possibly China and India, but most likely Greater Iran plus some parts of Northern Africa, and perhaps even Indonesia or the Philippines.
