So how's the separation of church and state doing in the ancestral homeland of the Parsis?

Oh, right.

I do believe you've just grasped the point of the cartoon. Nice work, you can ride the long bus tomorrow.

Actually he didn't imagine a "Parsi" America, he imagined a tongue in cheek "Zoroastrian" America. Sorry to be a linguistic spoilsport, but it ain't the same thing. Cuz well, Parsis do exist-- but there are ALSO tons of Zoroastrians in Iran (discriminated against for years, like their other religious minority brethren) and in the diaspora (as some of you pointed out, re the fun and games in (part of) the ancestral homeland of the Parsis). Sure the point of the cartoon was just to imagine a non-separated chuch/state America with a seemingly obscure religion -- and he picked Zoroastrianism cuz it seemed most obscure. But the guy actually did seem to do his research (he apparently has reported from Central Asia and Afghanistan in the past). Many well-meaning journalists like to insert stupid comments about Zoroastrians being fire-worshipping vulture-prey. He didnt. Gosh maybe he should get a medal for his even-handedness! An amusing cartoon in any case.
