If there is a danger in Afghanistan it should be for those girls who are coming on tv and singing even dancing some of them with modern cloths. Up to now everything goes well. The western media doesn't want to show the reality. One thing is very clear that Persia music is so reach that doesn't need mix porn with music for popular. This is a very beautiful and respectfully career in Afghanistan. In western music %90 person is porn and most of the famel singers have editions to drugs.

He is a coward. He lied just to get American Citizenship.

There was no threat to his life, He cheated the Nation Of Afghanistan.
