It is embarrassing to compare iranian educated people with those in arab countries whose population is less than 30 million combined. it's a sad comparison. this is our weakness? why don't you compare iranian who graduate from iranian university with the western educated? again there might be few exception to the rule that go to math olympia..

P.S. my intention is to insult our educational and cultural system specially in our current time not iranian people you D**A***

It's a fact not a philosophy. speaking of khar..Have you ever asked yourself how stupid khar can do all those amazing trick at circus? the trick that make us as a human to be amazed by. and why iranian khar can't do that? ...the answer is, because that khar was train by professional everyday. i don't believe in gene or DNA. there are few exception of handful people who are genius, but generally speaking i believe every human being are born with the same level of intelligent but what make one better than others is that the environment which surrounding him/ he help to shape and explore his/ her talent.

P.S: for your info,,i love my country and my people. i never been outside of iran and i don't celebrate west..

One scientist..? One?.. You think its just an accident that most iranians abroad and in Iran are highly educated, with Iran having one of the highest litteracy ratings? Are you F'ing joking me?? You should seriously google iran, science, scientists and you will be hit in the face. We are not doing poor culturally, nor in science, there is no other country in the middle east that can compare with the academic results of Iran. If you want to beat your head with a hammer, please do so without insulting all the men and women who are Iranian and produce mountains of scientific papers every year.

LA's celebration of the west

by 1234562 (not verified) on

If he has Iranian genes, then let his race celebrate and polarize his achievement for the sake of good PR and national pride.

Yes his parents had a lot to do with it, but they have Iranian genes too and we are all the product of our fabric.

If you take a donkey out of Iran and raise him abroad, rest assured you'll get even less performance out of the poor khar, eventhough they have much newer infrastructure to allow even khars to be more productive, let alone a persian prince with such admirabel charisma as this smart young man.

30 years of Iran bashing from every corner of the west, and you still promote Iranians to take a back seat?

Recaliberate your philosophy.

credit for germans not us...

by LA (not verified) on

it's a great achievement. his parents must be so proud, also his teachers must be so proud and they have to take all the credit not us just because he is Iranian. it is so sad that we are doing so poorly culturally or in the scene of International society that if one iranian gets a prize we are making so much fuss about it. This young man was probably born in Germany or grew up there and learned science, math, physics under the German educational systems. it has nothing to do with us, let german people be proud of him not us just because his parents are iranian.

handwork and outside influences helps to create a person, not just the blood.
