whats it to you if she wears a scarf, its law in afghanistan and most women take it off in the west. how can she help people in farah when the druglords are stealing all the money donated by the west to afghanistan, you moron you dont even have a real argument against her

[sayedhaideri]

That is right if you love this lady mean you love ISI. we see lost of this kind of person in afghanistan can any one tell what this lady has been done for country except travel around make her self famous. remember this lady finally well run away from afghanistan to does country they give support and money.

[Maechan83]

I love you Malalai !!!!!!!!!!!!

[shabbie5]

she is so brave, you wouldn't have the balls to do what she does, her life is threatened and she still continues to speak out for us.

@Antisemetic @Shapur1 Well said! her hijab hypocrisy makes it difficult to take her seriously. Shes probably another puppet. And Antisemetic your wrong. It is in the Koran and part of Islam.Maybe its time u did some reading.

[NewHorizonzzz]

I'm sorry mate! but according to what you say is that hijab is one of the fundemental aspects of islamic life which is wrongfully woven into personal desires and wishes. I know it, u know it nd everyone knows it that malalay joya dosen't believe in what she says or does. These are all done for political gains which is i beleive laughable think because in Afghanistan by condeming the 'Mojahideen' she's hoping to get ppls attention. wake up!! this is afghanistan not the US

[choloperuvian]

religious fanatics mixtured with politics and economics interests is so dangerously explosive.

You write "hypocritically" ¿Why, sir? No, there is no freedom in Afghansitan and warlords rule Afghan society. So Joya can´t remove veil inside Afhanistan. Outside Afghanistan she can do that because there is freedom .

[Antisemetic]

to wear a hijab is a personal choice, it is not fundmental tenant of faith, the Holy Quran has not decreed to its followers to wear hijab...if she wears in afghanistan not western countries is of the filthy imagination of Afghan men can run wild by seeing her without hijab and also to blend in the norm. Have thought why your mother is not wearing the hijab if not then you should have thought before you posted your hypocritical comment.

[aryanhoney]

why do u care if she were hijab or not, ur not her daddy or her husband, so shutup. its the law in afghanistan to were hijab. everyone in the west takes there hijab off.

[Shapur1]

What's puzzling is how some are invoking Allah's help for Joya's "cause." Joya, who wears the hijab in Afghanistan, hypocritically removes the hijab when being interviewed in the west. Joya, an opportunistic politician, has once again showed that she is willing to do whatever it takes to score some political points, even abandoning the fundamental tenants of her faith.
