This was a beautiful video. It was amazing that she laughed and smiled even when recalling such a horrific experience. She seems like a strong woman. I hope Afghanistan becomes a safe place for her to live again.

Wow, I am really mad at those people for being assholes and ruining lives.

[LindiJotProductions]

It's so sad that this kind of stuff happens. I chose this video to do my review on for my english class.

[R3dp055um]

This is very sad. Poor Afghanistan.

I really do not believe the Prophet (PBUH) intended for men to attack and abuse women in this way.

[Hiijab]

Thats so sad. When will people wake up??

[Hiijab]

Don't blame religion, blame humans.

Hey there yid boi - perhaps you should go to your talmud & pull up some new comebacks, because you are a transparent, murder-puking do-nothing coward Here monkey - chew on this for a while:

Yids on Iranian TV:

watch?v=85jSgzs9-nU

You're such a fuking jackass there's no point even reading what you write. I've heard it all a million times. You're like clocks - all of you.

WTF are u talking about...

I'm in the army, in the Georgian army, but don't care about iran bastards...

I have religious bastards in here, and know how much bastarder will be they in the iran...

[DuralastTurbo]

Hey there yid coward. Sign up 4 the army & go get your legs blown off in Iran like a good boy then =) Then I can respect your honesty. Oh what's that? U just want OTHER people 2 murder them 'for' you - oh yeeees... and what? Bring them 'the blessings of rap' ??

Don't forget to gargle your D.U. - nothing beats glowing semen! Your kids will look so sweet with no eyes =) It's the new evolution! Heil Exxon!

[bigcrow666]

you're so stupid, man...

I'm living in the country, where are a plenty of people, like them in the video, people, who don't understand what the "Freedom" means and are only locked in their religious considerations. I'll be glad to kill them all, becouse without them life is better abd easyer...

[DuralastTurbo]

Yes there you go cow - say moooo - what do we do? Oh, bomb them yes? That will fix them right? Bomb the girl into pieces to 'free' her yes? The most satanic thing about you is you claim to care, but the only thing you care about is murdering foreigners who have nothing to do with you (or 911 - which was an inside job and everybody knows it).

Religion = turn-your-brain-off and become close-minded.
