Simon the Zealot was sawn in half in Persia

Statue of St. Simon (Simon the Zealot) in the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran by Francesco Moratti. He was one of the most obscure among the apostles of Jesus.

Simon joined Jude in Persia and Armenia or Beirut, Lebanon, where both were martyred in 65 AD. One tradition states that he traveled in the Middle East and Africa. Christian Ethiopians claim that he was crucified in Samaria, while Justus Lipsius writes that he was sawn in half at Suanir, Persia.

65 AD, Persian were civilised, they would never do that sort of thing. ISIS did not exist either. Only possible by dilusionist historians.

Amirkabear4U,

At least Persians did not claim to be prophets of god and then kill and rape others. More importantly, we don't think they were innocent or had received orders from almighty. What about you and your Prophet and Imams?

FYI, in Shahnameh, Gersiouz (Afrasiab's brother) is sawn in half to revenge the killing of Siavash.
