Under Islamic Authority, Zoroastrianism waned in its ancestral home of Persia. Zoroastrianism was the majority faith in Persia until Islam almost completely extinguished it, both by sword, economic inequality, and brutal repression of Zoroastrian customs (unless they could be Islamicized like Nourouz). On some occasions, Zoroastrians were given Dhimmi Status; a second-class status accompanied by higher taxes, living restrictions, job restrictions, and clothing requirements; and on other occasions were forcibly converted to Islam because they were considered polytheists.
