Great effort by our Iranian brothers!

Instead of educating people about Afghanistan and our Iranic brotherhood with Afghanistan, government decided to invest in educating about Islamism and so a new generation of ignorant people who knew nothing about their kins and brothers and neighbors were created, with sometimes terrible consequences such as discrimination.
