KAIZER'S MISSION to KABUL
In a true story that’s far from today’s unflattering experiences in Afghanistan, the author, Khalil Nouri, brings to life the events and circumstances from the late 1800s when an ethnic Pashtun, named Hashim resented the oppression against the minority ethnic Hazaras and Shiites as he showed his moral courage by giving them his helping hand to bring peace and tranquility until he died at the age of 110 in 1962.

For nearly half-century between 1779 and 1924, Iran denied important economic roles for its Jewish community. The stigmas of “impurity,” as well as mandatory observation of Jewish religious and legal restrictions, strongly imposed on its Jews. In addition, the obligation to wear certain attire and identification patches forced them to either accept voluntary conversion into Islam or leave the country.
