This isn't anywhere close to being an Islamic thing tbh. The Persians and Ottomans loved historical and foreign stuff, the Taliban is just a bunch of ignorant goat herders. Afghanistan has never had a tradition of scholarship and academia so it's no surprise that a lot of people there don't care about their history.

    The Taliban is an import from Saudi Arabia which is why they call themselves the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan....... So of course they don't care about afghan history, their ideology is based on Arabic supremacy.
