I’m asking you, 50 Shades of Grey reader and enthusiast, to come into this post with an open mind. In the past, I’ve said some pretty strong stuff about you, that was all coming from a place of frustration.
Because I am frustrated. But now I’m having a moment of clarity, and I really hope that you give me a chance to explain to you why so many people are so angry about this book. I know you’re not stupid. I know I can write these things, and you can read them and at least entertain the other side of the issue. Let’s start with the most basic reaction I’m seeing from people defending 50 Shades of Grey. It’s just fiction/entertainment! If you believe that 50 Shades is a love story, do me a favor and imagine this right now.

Parsi. According to the Qissa-i Sanjan tradition, the present-day Parsis descend from a group of Zoroastrians from Greater Iran who immigrated to the western borders of South Asia (Gujarat and Sindh) during the 8th or 10th century[3] to avoid persecution by Muslim invaders who were in the process of conquering Iran.[4][5][6][7][8][9] At the time of the Muslim conquest of Persia, the dominant religion of the region was Zoroastrianism. Iranians rebelled against Arab invaders for almost 200 years; in Iran this period is now known as the "Two Centuries of Silence" or "Period of Silence".[10] During this time many Iranians who are now called Parsi rejected both options and instead chose to take refuge by fleeing from Iran to India.[11] Definition and identity[edit] According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, Parsi, also spelled Parsee, member of a group of followers in India of the Iranian prophet Zoroaster.
Origins[edit] The Qissa-i Sanjan is a tale of the journey of the Parsis to India from Iran.
