The Arab invasion of Iran led to different reactions from the ethnic and religious groups residing in the Sasanian Empire. One of the important minorities in Iran at the time of the Arab arrival was the Christians. This group, like followers of other religions and sects prevalent in Iran, was influenced by the Muslim conquests and reacted to them. The reaction of Christians to the conquests manifested in two forms – interaction and confrontation – depending on the time and place of the conquests. Christians in western Iran and Kureh Iraq, due to ethnic and linguistic commonalities with the conquerors and competition with Christians in the interior regions of Iran, tended more towards interaction with the Arab conquerors. However, Christians residing in eastern regions, due to being in a minority and also ethnic and linguistic differences with the conquerors, confronted them. This article examines the interactive and confrontational reactions of Christians with Arabs and the causes and reasons for them in the first century AH.
