why is iran hated by neigbours??

I don't know about Tajiks, but Afghans do seem to feel very nagative towards Iran.  Even on Youtube their is this verbal war between Persians and Afghans. 

Their could be many factors as to why some of the neighbours are not fond of Iran.  First could be history, the events of the past and the role Iran played in them, which is one of the reasons some Kurds have negativity towards Iran.  Second it could be because Iran is mainly a Shia population.

^ from you tube what i gathered is that Tajiks think (current Iran) is stealing Tajik history, thats what they are talking about all the time

this has nothing to do with former Iran and the Iran regime. I know some Afghans and have a kurdish friend from iran and by god what he told me makes me understand why afghans hate them. For example he told me how he saw one time like what they trated the Afghans who flet from Afghanistan because of the war in former sowiet time. They treated them like crap cause they don´t have much money. Many Azeris don´t like Iran cause Azeris are sometimes called by many Persian like "Turke Kar" what means turkish donkey and when they are in Europe they make of Iranian brothership and don´t stand to the mistakes they have done before and use to give the false everytime the regime or other countries. And also a big problem is Persians for most feel like superior to their neighbours.

Well, its the same with Mexicans here in the States. Iran is a poor country, it cant handle the millions of Afghan refugees in the country, so backlash like this is understandable and should be expected. Why would the Afghans expect Iranians to welcome them with open arms and take care of their needs when Iranians are worried for their own survival?

This sentiment towards refugee's/illegal immigrants is common throwout the world.

This term actually originated in the Ottoman Empire amongst the Ottomans to refer to the lower classes.

Me? I am not an illegal immigrant.

Originally posted by Xorto And also what i try to understand why many people here outside Iran make of Iranian Brothership and things like that while they use to hate their original Farsi speaking brother from Afghanistan?

Well, I think this is a generalization. None of the Iranians I know speak of "Iranian brotherhood", they just go about their daily lives.

Nationalism, a European concept, means that Iranians care about Iran and other Iranians, Afghans only care about Afghanistan and other Afghans, its simple really.

Iran has no obligation to help Afghanistan, and neither does Afghanistan have to help Iran. Fact is, Iran is a poor country, and the influx of 3 million+ Afghan refugee's has created a backlash against Afghans in Iran. This is natural and happens all over the world in every country. Its not something that should be condoned, but surely you cannot be surprised that this happens.

Originally posted by Xorto If you ask me I think the Afghans are much better hearted people than Iranian Persian who in fact feel like superior to everyone else. Of course Afghans also have many bad sides but they are on average good hearted people.

Well, when Afghanistan allows 3 million+ refugee's to come into their nation, provides for them, even while its own people are poor and suffering, then come back and say that "Afghans are much better hearted people" than Iranians.

You dont seem to understand human nature.

----------------

You seem to have this impression that Iran is some type of economic power or a developed country or something. NO. Iran is a very poor country, it has no money to sustain itself, why do you expect Iran to help Afghanistan/Afghani's? I really dont understand your logic.

Nonetheless, Iran has already helped Afghanistan and Afghans tremendously. It has allowed millions of refugee's into the country over the years and provided for them. Iran has for decades supported the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and was instrumental in the overthrow of the Taleban.

I agree, Xorto is make generalizations.

In the Middle East every group of people dislikes another and this issue used to be exploited by the more recent powers like British and Russians back when they were a power. Out the 3 main remaining groups of people, Iranians, Turks and Arabs (if Jews are included based on power that makes is 4) neither one likes the others, although some dislikes are stronger than others. It usually comes from one group feeling superior to the others, or some kind of war or genocide which considering how old the history of the middle east is can be found plenty of. Amongst these group themselves people don’t  like each other either. Anatolian Turks and central Asians don’t get along because the other one don’t even look like what they think Turks should look like. With Arab northerners feel superior to southerners and some north Africans are starting to question why the even call them self Arabs. With Iranians some people in Iran act like they are the real Iranians and are superior to the rest.

The good news is the people in the middle east starting to realize this attitude is one the main reasons they have stayed behind and the inter -ethnic relationships are improving. That is if the foreigners stay out of it
