Re: PARSI
No, it doesn't. The Sassanids escaped to perserve their empire; some perisans fled to India simply because of the upheavel. In fact, they ended up supporting the Sassanids, and is at least one of the reasons why some Arabs entered India in the first place.

...I'm familiar with them...and most are a crock, historically speaking.

summarized the Zoroastrian's plight as "Forceful conversion to Islam, confiscation of their assets and inheritance, extortion of one fifth of the value of property or business for the Moslem clergy, **prohibition of construction of new buildings or repair of the old ones, **prohibition from putting on new dress or ride horse, forceful payment of extra tax (Jizya ), automatic exoneration of the murderers or culprits if they are Moslems and their victim is a Zoroastrian, or if they have attacked or burglarized the Zoroastrian houses or their shelters."

Most in Persia remained non-Muslim well till the 10th century...forceful conversion....where? If Muslims accept Jizya, then no Muslm can violate the property of the non-Muslim party...that will forfit the Jizya. Can't take the rest seriously.
As for the Jizya...how much?

Taxes under sassanians did not forced peasants to seek refuge in alien land.

I don't see the link between the small number of refugees and the Jizya. How much is the question...
Note the amount varied greatly over time. I'm taking about under Umar (ra).
So the question remains, how mcuh? It's a simple question...and to be quite honest, I really don't know...and I don't need a history lesson on other matters to divert me from this simple question...
