That is no different that the buddhists and jains calling the devtas as 'only human' and not devtas. These ideological differences in pagan religions do not lead to subjugation/irradication/opression and in the case of Persians, we don't see any :oh yeah.... persians were opposite in thinking than us. they called asurs good nd indra etc devtas r bad. neither they hv brahm/ishwar or tridev etc concpets. neither they hv yoga, meditation, rebirth, aatma, moksya etc hindu concepts. so how can different opposite believe system can be brothers. yes we hv some similarities though. but for them we were adharmik nd for us they were adharmik. calling them "our bros" is same like "ganga jamuna tehjeeb" walas r our bros.
Even when Persian high priest kartir was entrenching Zoroastrianism and got Christianity banned ( 270s CE IIRC, this is the first and only time a pagan religion has acted in abrahamic way and banned a religion), we still see Buddhist & hindu epigraphy in their coins from the mints in the east - like Kabul or Bactria.
Same way the hindushahi rulers didnt go nuking any zoroastrian in their territory ( which was significant) coz their devtas are our asurs..
