I didn't fund anything they did, but I know you are referring to the war with the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.

I don't know the various sects within Islam, as I know lots of artwork is viewed as violating Islam's proscription against personal images. Isn't that why much of Islamic art centers on caligraphy? Some Shia sects disdain those ancient monuments constructed by different groups. I admit my ignorance as to what proscriptions prevail in Iran. That's why I asked if those proscriptions apply within Iran.
