Khaled Hosseini -- Kite Runner & A Thousand Splendid Suns

[zalmaykhan1]

Racist

[othercook]

its ironic that the women are considered 'hypersexual and must be protected from themselves' ..never heard of a WOMAN raping a little boy or raping anyone for that matter...God's law is Love. If men love women they dont abuse them. It is only God's right to judge and punish, not some ignorant human. May he forgive us all.

stop being ignorant guys and present urselves most of u) as good muslims..now all though i will say these books were very well written...it seems too biased..there arent very many popular fiction books about afghanistan in english and him disgracing one group isnt good and jus makes people want to segregate afghanistan more..and it also oppresses many people and will bring hatred..although he brought poeople's awareness on some of these issues.he brought it in a way to better some and not others

[a1a2b3c4d5e6f]

[a1a2b3c4d5e6f]

who does... they want themselves to be associated with something far greater but I can assusre you no one counts them in... but it also depends on your own ideology and thinking and again my freind a very simple question.... what side are you on? but I let this to be answered well on (judgement day)...Take Care.

[FuckAhmadShahBaba]

i don't know why this pakistani guy who call himself Afghan is arguing with real afghans. get the fuck out of here, go live in the caves of Tora Bora or Wazirestan. you son of musharaf mother fucker animal

[MET40KING]

you want to talk about being pashtoon, do you know what the national religion of Afghanistan is. It is Islam, and Islam is about peace and being a good person, someone that kuffars and those who are misguided can look to as a role model . As a Muslim you should not curse and insult the other beings that Allah has given life to, and attack people's mothers, that is a coward's move . So think a little about what a real pashtoon is, and stop holding on to the past.

[paki1980]

fuck every persian

[a1a2b3c4d5e6f]

Who the hell are you? and wtf are u watching this video

[FuckAhmadShahBaba]

you are animal arianaa. (همین نامی که خودت بر خود ماندی) داشت. این سرزمین برای هزاران سال مهد هنر و فرهنگ فارسی زبانان و سایر اقوام آن بوده. نگاهی به تاریخ شرم آور خود کن و یک مرد و یک کاکه خود را بگو که از 250 سال پیش باشد. من از غزنوی ها میگویم ، از غوری ها ، از تیموری ها ، از فردوسی ، از مولانا ، از انصاری ، از صد ها دانشمند و امپراطوری که صدها سال پیش از اینکه نام این سرزمین به نام افغانستان یاد شود در آن زندگی میکردند.

[bloem2008]

this movie is amezing

[arianaa05]

I live in the US.My inability to read your writing doesn't make me less afghan than you.15% of afghanistan's people are literate.you don't consider them afghans either?i read books,my parents are well versed in afghanistan's history,& i have relatives who've lived there.you're probably one of those bitter tajik's who are constantly pushing their agenda by degrading pashtoons.like husseini.i'm not gonna continue to spar with a moron.wise women don't argue with fools.

[FuckAhmadShahBaba]

hey arianaa05 if you are a pashtoon, why did u chose the persian name? be a real pashtoon and pick a pashto name. go and live in kabul and you will be educated and learn good culture, one of the best in the world with well over 5000 years history. remember we are persian and have ruled over asia for the past 3000 years

[a1a2b3c4d5e6f]

whats this stupid argument.. there is nothing wrong with being whatever you are...

[ponchodude4]

im afghan

[lightoffire1]

khalid hossani thanks for ur infromed western views on islam and afghanistan. It's in islam for women to cover themselves from head to toe not just in a problem in tribal areas. Your a self proclaimed shoclar on women rights in afghaistan. women are respected in afghaistan especially in tribal areas. Why should women expose themselves to fullfuill ur inner desires u pervert.

[a1a2b3c4d5e6f]

well put :p

[Muslimah1987]

I LOVE his explanation of the situation of women in these areas. It is so totally true - not only for these areas of Afghanistan but also areas in many - almost ALL- Muslim countries. Possibly even non Muslim places but being Muslim my first priority is naturally the Muslim places.

[arianaa05]

khaed has trashed afghanistan's culture for the sake of money. he's a pseudo-intellectual snob who creates characters on the basis of negative stereotypes that do nothing but reinforce the negative image the world has of us. i guess it's worth the hefty price the devil offers your soul.

[guevara913]

arianaa05:with all due respect, i think you are misguided about khaled.I'm a US student.Although there are a lot of stupid people in my country, there are also many that are open minded and seek to know the truth beyond the garbage our current media feeds us.I had a very negative perception of the middle east and afghanistan especially after 9/11.But after reading "The Kite Runner" my eyes were opened.Khaled actually helped in erasing any negative stereotypes and images i held of afghanis.

[arianaa05]

that's good that your perception of afghans has changed,but people have expressed their negative perceptions to me based on what they read in the book.his portrayal of afghan culture & race relations in afghanistan is inaccurate.mainly i'm upset with his constant negative portrayal of pashtoons.even in interviews he talks about pashtoons as narrow-minded,backwards people when it was the pashtoons who established the country & fought off its invaders.

[moderate26]

من به مسایل قومی و زبانی عقیده ندارم چون معیار من انسان و انسانیت هست ولی همیشه از عدالت اجتماعی و مساوات دفاع میکنم. تو میگویی که روابط قومی افغانستان در کتاب خالد حسینی نادرست روایت شده است. مگر ظلم که بر سر ملیت مظلوم و ستمدیده هزاره در طول تاریخ شده را میتوانی رد کنی؟ میتوانی رد کنی که عبدالرحمان خبیث به خاطر هیچ دلیلی سالیان مردم هزاره را تحت فشار قرار داد تا که بالاخره عده ای مجبور شدند حتی کشور و خاک آبایی خود را ترک کنند.

[digitsync2]

May be it is so...

It is easy to pickup a gun and shoot but being civilize and educate require investment. Instate of blaming how other people look at you, perhaps you people should throw out your retarded believes and culture... may be start with treating your women better?

[mirtje]

i think that it is not so black and white!

do not forget that it is fiction and that it is his opinion......

i am touched by his story i do not think that you can say all the pashtuns are bad or the other way around.

that is just to easy to say all those people are a like and do and think the same thinks. the same with the islam.

[borobababaas]

pashtuns are been fucked upp by bombs and books!!!!

[ChiliProudAFGHAN]

I have seen the film, here in Denmark. The film is very populare here everyone have seen it. The film had a good story, but there was some few things that wasn't correct, and everyone was upset about it, it's the chapter when a pashton guy rapes the hazara boy, Hassan.

And i am glad that they havn't let the movie been seen in Afghanistan.

[digitsync2]

Is that right? I must have missed the rape detail... I thought they just wanted to have some dance entertainment but that alone is sick as well, forcing kid to do such stuff... they should be stoned to dead as they did in the stadium.

We all have ugly truths and retard thinking to be throw into the garbage.

[lillol00]

I think Khaled books are outstanding and his books are the truth.They are not fabricated nor full of lies. He tells the truth about the taliban,about life in Afgan as a woman and how it changed when Taliban arrived. Read more books about Afgan and Taliban Khaled is writing the truth. Well Done Khaled your books are inspirational. I loved them book, I was shocked at the way of life in Kabul. Both of your books are truly beautifully written. Thank you for filling great hours of my life reading...

[slowmotion929]

im from pakistan and i just have to i think afghans smell like fukin shiit and im be straight up wen i sweat i smell bad too but atleast i try do something about it like deodrant and taking showers daily instaed of onece week steup u r game up for realz

این سرزمین پیش از اینکه ابدالی نام افغانستان را بر آن بگزارد برای هزاران سال آریانا (همین نامی که خودت بر خود ماندی) داشت. این سرزمین برای هزاران سال مهد هنر و فرهنگ فارسی زبانان و سایر اقوام آن بوده. نگاهی به تاریخ شرم آور خود کن و یک مرد و یک کاکه خود را بگو که از 250 سال پیش باشد. من از غزنوی ها میگویم ، از غوری ها ، از تیموری ها ، از فردوسی ، از مولانا ، از انصاری ، از صد ها دانشمند و امپراطوری که صدها سال پیش از اینکه نام این سرزمین به نام افغانستان یاد شود در آن زندگی میکردند.

[arianaa05]

please post in english. i can't read your writing.

[moderate26]

if you cant read my writing, then how can you claim you are from Afghanistan? If you have never lived in that country, do not its language, and have no idea what has happened there, why do you persist on pushing for your baseless ideas? I have lived there all my life and know what poor people of Afghanistan went through durign the dictatorship adn cruelty of dirty taliban.

[staaplar]

Evil doesnt have horns,tales or whatever, So devil in the form of khalid hoseini tried his best attempt to creat further crack and break out another ethnic war between afghans.He is very coward,satan-minded and hypocrite.People like him make afghans hate and fight each other.

[airrick16]

afganistan is what the rest of world was like 500 years ago!

[sinndbad]

Unfortunately people like Khalid Hoseini are so hypocrite and damn shit who distorted the truth not only about his true identity but also about the poor afghans too for his own irani interests.How cheap are khalid hoseini type people who are sold on US and iran in order to lable afghans with dirty names.Khaled Hoseini should tell the truth about his identity,he told fabricated lies about his Identity.His books are the collection of fabricated lies and hatred towards ethnic afghans.

[igrewupinoakland510]

i agree with xbond hossieni has made pashtuns look like monnsters, many of the things about the taliban n the pashtuns r not reel khaled iz just making them look bad 4 the money i bet khaled iznt even afghan he looks like an american with a littl tan

[moderate26]

plz take note of the fact that Khaled's voice and all other good or bad videos you see on youtube posted by Non-Pashtons is the voice of some ethnicities who have been shut up for years in Afghanistan by a Pashtoon dictatorship. I am not a racist but that is what our history says.

[arianaa05]

pashtoon dictatorship? come on. please know your basic facts before you start posting. afghanistan is the land of pashtoons. that's a fact. there's no arguing about it. as for the "pashtoon dictatorship", that's like saying italy has a italian dictatorship. not only does it sound stupid, but it ignores the blatant fact that it is the land of the pashtoons, they are the majority, and therefore rule the country.

[moderate26]

پیش از اینکه این چرندیات را به زبان میاوری اول کمک فکر کن بعد به سخنرانی شروع کن. کی گفته که افغانستان سرزمین پشتون هاست؟ پس این 65 فیصد دیگر این مملکت جواری هستند یا ملی سرخک؟ خوب هست که خجالت نمیکشید. شرم کنید.

[mahajerNL]

fuck pashtuns = taliban

[Afonsos91]

Religion is a personal stuff and don't go say that islam is a religion of war because it's not we must look at it in the good view

[ghalbeafg]

Khaled hosseini is a very talented man and i've read both of his books.i am proud that we have an afghan like him.whomever thinks that it's shame about what he writes is wrong.Not only he opens the culture of afghanistan in his writing but he also opens the things that our country have suffered tru.i am proud of him.

[JungleGeezer]

I say his book is totally and utterly a shame to our people and society. It has a very deep racist view. Well u can clearly see its pashtoon and hazara, one is bad and one is good.

[chancequest]

allahu akbar! bullshit- allah does not exist, and violent, manipulative men and women only use religion as a way to control poor and angry masses of people. hence al-qaida, and other terrorist groups. hence taliban. hence catholicism.

[skurfja36]

allah is just arabic for God.

your comment is is vague and kind of disgusting. If you don't believe in God - that's fine, but just understand your inspiring hatred, which if i'm not mistaken, you are against, no?

[aboulna]

buddy shut the fuck up u dumb anglosaxon dumb fuck dont be saying shit about allah not existed u dumb fucker i hope u die in ur sleep for saying that u cunt ZEITGEIST PROVES THAT UR RELIGION IS STOLEN FROM THE EGYPRTIONS AND DOESNT EVEN EXIST U DUMB ANGLOSAXON BASTERD AND WE R NOT THE TERRORISTS ITS THE GOVERNMENT OUR BELIEFS THAT ARE TERRORISTS U DONT NO SHTI GO PLAY IN TRAFFIC AND DO US A FAVOR OF DYING UR UNINTELLECTUAL MIND IS OF ANY NEED TO THE HUMAN RACE

[nsam]

Thank you. I've studied the history true. If you want to look at Pakistan, you should study the history first...Pakistan is a country made of different countries.

[arianaa05]

nobody wants that little shithole you call a country.afghanistan has had numerous invaders who unsuccessfully tried to take over;you don't see people fawning over pakistan.pukhtuns of pakistan are the same as pashtuns.spelling them differently doesn't make them different.you're an idiot for thinking you're pakistani when your "pukhtun" descendants came from afghanistan.you obviously don't have a decent educational system in place.enjoy your ignorance-infested, so-called islamic,corrupt rathole.
