BBC News, May 21, 2009: Malalai Joya has been described as the "bravest woman in Afghanistan". She was suspended from the Afghan Parliament for saying it was worse than a zoo.

Shes accused her fellow MPs of being corrupt, greedy, murdering warlords. Now, living in hiding, she continues to fight for women's rights.

She tells Sarah Montague that life is hell for women in Afghanistan -- as bad now -- as it was under the Taliban.

women rights is very important

violence and abuse of any kind is not the true essence of Islam

[damboraa]

the only time we will have peace is when usa packs up and leaves we are muslims and will rule with islam and if you americans don't like it jump fuckers

[johar100]

there is no democracy in Muslim countries; freedom of speech;freedom of press is democracy not elections

"they are savages, parasites"....hmmm i cant help but think that maybe thats the image the men in ur family gives off to you n that your adapting those behaviors.

stop claiming things that u know is not true. i do agree that afghan men are nto perfect but to say that they are all talibs n that their mindset is of the bandits...thats just wrong man!

Uslam Shalom Peace:

If thee doth not use salt in cooking, it tastes not what it should taste like. Thee must use the salt to get the flavour, only those whom know flavour and taste know the worth of the salt. Sister like, only when thee use His Laws will thee prosper. In His Laws doth thee mediate night and day is success. His Laws.

taliban & osama served the west well against the sowiets, dont they?

[busola100]

Trust me what ever the west do...read the history...afghan men are all Talibs their mindset is of the bandits, killers and thugs...this is the way they lived fro 1000 of years, their whole purpose in life is to blame every one in the world except themselves...they are savages, parasites where ever they go, the west opened immigration to them but they never change, they are exporting their version of Islam all over the world, what a sad story...
