That was very well done - great story. I wish it could be put on laptops and shown to younger Afghanis in villages. Wonder if they have any idea that that is their heritage.
Same as Iran. My grandparents spent 2 years there in the 1950s as part of an oil-related work assignment. They had nothing but good things to say about their time in Iran, how much they liked the Iranians, all the development that was going on, etc. The local women wore western clothes and moved about freely. My grandma used to go to the markets by herself - something that would be impossible today.
Fundamental Islam, so wow.
