Axis of culture

Why it seems to strange?
Less that 30 years ago Muslims, Christians and Jews were living happily and peacefully in Iran and Iran was the only place in the world that had hardly had racial and religeous issues. Now people so easily forgot their past history, culture and tradition!!
Let's go back to basics, read and learn our history and culture and then try to criticise.

Dreams....

These "collaborative" events might be good enough to amuse and entertain their collaborators, but they do next to nothing to address the real issues. We have seen so many such events over the past few decades, yet Israel has continued to occupy, destroy, and kill every single day for the past 6 decades.

omg! Iranians and Israelis and Americans in the same program! So crazy... you guys are just sooo brave. I'm sure that Americans will have tears in their eyes... just imagine, Jews, Muslims and Christians all together. How in the world did you do it? We're all the same after all?
