abdighazi:it's obvious that she didn't do it for the money,so you have no point.

what she did was very brave,standing up like that and confronting this powerful and dangerous people.

american troops withdraw and support real democracy in afghanistan.

Malalai Joya is a hero.

@AllianceNoob umm so that is EXACTLY what she said..that we need to concentrate on education. anyways, I'm not going back and forth with someone who clearly has their head so far up their ass that they would rather see Afghanistan go even more down the toilet, then a women speak in public. BYE.

@ro143cky

just to humiliate and tell people that we have warlords then what ?? at the end of the day whether you like it or not our country is controlled by warlords and from my view the only way to get rid of them is to educate the new generation so they don't turn like them.. seems far fetched but what have we got to lose. Right now the warlords may be the only way to keep balance of power in afghanistan if they were killed then there will be another civil war.

@ro143cky

I dont want her to speak on behalf of me or any Afghan, Afghan woman are modest unlike her. Anyway, i'm not a crazy Talib lol I'm just an Afghan who has the view of most afghans. I agree that there are warlords but how will you stop it? kill all of them hmmm what about the thousands of supporters they have?? what is her purpose??

@seyal89 Yes you are right, but do you realise that this was written in the what...7 or 8th century? and the Qur'an also explicitly states that we need to progress with our times as well. it is not feasible for a woman to have a male escort with her in this day and age EVERYwhere she goes. people need to open their eyes more and not pick and choose what they follow in our religion. But that is just my opinion. God bless.

@AllianceNoob crazy talib with some fake sense of nang-e namoos you would see this. you don't know anything about me. but the facts are the facts...

and how is she a traitor? she is speaking out for afghans? she is telling the americans that they are not helping by occpying our country and supporting war lords. what is she doing that isn't for the benefits of her people? I am more Afghan than you are clearly because I actually care about our people.

@AllianceNoob no I am not a "dhal khur" whatever you mean by that? We do have a disgusting culture. We cry about why our country is such a mess and then when people stand up for important social issues we question their intentions, we call them disgusting names, and we send them death threats. open your eyes! what is so good about our culture? you think because we are hospitable it makes up for everything else that we do? The life of women in Afghanistan is hell. Maybe if you weren't a
