Iran incites terrorism in their textbooks
The Long War Journal points out how Iran's state textbooks are one of the leading ways they incite violence:
The United States Government has routinely identified Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, going back to the 1980s and across successive American administrations. Furthermore, Tehran’s efforts to export its revolution are widely known, as are its shameless promotion of antisemitic propaganda, such as cartoon contests to encourage Holocaust denial.Read the whole thing. Whereas the problem in Arabia may now hopefully be behind us, Iran's own incitement is still a serious problem.
But comparatively little attention has been paid to Iran’s incitement of hatred, extremism, and terrorism in its official government textbooks. Whereas credible and comprehensive studies of incitement in the Saudi state curriculum have been published each one of the last five years, for example, the last such expert study of the Iranian curriculum was only published in 2016.
