I don't think Zoroastrianism has a really strong presence...

I repped that one for humor. It's Bahai, not Zoroastrianism, that is rapidly growing in Canada.

It may not be very strong in numbers but there's still a healthy, organized presence of Zoroastrianism in BC, mostly in the Lower Mainland area. And Bahai too. Just sayin'.

A Zoroastrian/Bahai contingent blew up the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. </sarcasm>

That is incorrect. That terrorist contingent were all members of Al Quaeda, an extremist branch of Sunni Islamic religion.

Zoroastrianism / Bahai are not Islamic faiths nor do they have any extremist, terrorist off-shoots from those faiths. They have been criticized, rejected and sometimes persecuted by all three of the Abrahamic faiths (Christian, Jewish, Islamic).

Sorry, but I really think it's a bad idea for you to post misinformation like that about people of completely different religions even if you happen to be joking around about it. There are far too many other people who, upon reading it, would be too stupid or fanatical, or too poorly educated and ignorant about the 9 religions of the world to know the difference between the Zoroastrian/Bahai faiths and the Islamic faiths and they wouldn't realize you are being facetious or joking.

The giant (/sarcasm) should have been pretty clear he was kidding, and taking a shot at UrbanLuis and his veiled comment about Islam.
