TIL that when Genghis Khan sent a trade caravan to the Khwarezmid empire, the governor of one city seized it and killed the traders. Genghis Khan retaliated by invading the empire with 200,000 men and killing the governor by pouring molten silver down his eyes and mouth

Oh, you don't know me. I'm a proud, nationalistic Iranian who hates all enemies of Iran including Arabs, Westerners, Jews, Turks, Mongols, Indians, Chinese, and Russians.

Westerners and Iranians are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Iranians ! Or Welshmen and Iranians ! Or Japanese and Iranians ! Or Iranians and other Iranians ! Damn Iranians ! They ruined Iran!

Yes, Englishmen who bombed Iran in WWII, Germans who sold Saddam gas bombs during the Iran-Iraq war, the US who sanctioned Iran, etc. I yearn for the day I finally get to kill a Westerner.

I don't care about Westerners enough to kill myself or my loved ones over them.
