Women, Weddings, War And Me

People would be surprised to see how much many non-Pashtuns live culturally like Pashtuns. Afterall, we are all Afghan.

[Laila]

LOL! Poor guy

Many Tajiki and Uzbeki women observe burqas....even today in Kabul....yeah such a shock to some.

Tajikis in Laghman are very strict and conservative

Tajikis in Kandahar have assimilated themselves into Pashtun lifestyle

[TheCongo]

^ Yeah even her Tajik cousin claimed he supported the Taliban's polciies and reign in the video lolz. I am beginning to like Tajiks more and more as the days go by.

No, don't say jk. Faye is doomed to the eternal fires of hell until she repents. She doesn't have that much time left either. Hapless woman. Have pity on her. I know I have made the transition from African Voodoo to the light of Islam.

sorry sweets, got a performance coming up. you keep up your 'congo' performance here and continue ranting (as perusual)

[Haris]

But you still have to give her props for trying to go back, and actually seeing things herself. Sadly, there has been numerous cases where hundreds of families have completely isolated themselves from who they are and where they are from.

Its understanding that she will experience a 'culture shock.' She left at a young age, not being able to understand why. And so it seems, has a adapted well in London.

Though i dont agree with a few in the documentary, but i do encourage young generations to watch it, and have hopes of visiting or even living back home.


.

Yeah i'm not knocking her for that infact I encourage it:

It should make the kids more grateful for the opportunity that they are given and see what life is like for others etc


I'm just saying if you want to learn about Afghanistan in an hour there are better things you could be doing than watching this. I found her irritating and think that she made this documenary for her own benefit (probably doing some media course at college) rather than giving a good informative piece of journalism.

What did she even achieve in the end? "Oh i'm not going to be so spoilt anymore"....Good for her.

It may have shown people that Afghans aren't exactly living in the best conditions but you would have to be stupid to not have known that.
Perhaps this was aimed at a 'spoilt teen' audience who get given everything on a plate just like she did in which case, fine.

But for the purpose of learning about Afghanistan, it doesn't explain anything that anyone on these forums already doesn't know, which is why I branded it a waste of time.




Edit: Also when I was watching it I got the feeling that it was all constantly about her and her stupid emotions...."I am not Western but I am not Afghan and I look Asian, where the hell do i belong??!"...Silly girl. To me the whole thing just looked like more BBC propaganda for support for the war.

[faye]

calling everything about taliban and afghanistan propaganda, unless it is the bad things that the westerners do, is very common on here, haris. the girl is an afghan, she returned to her country of origin and showed us a view that she and others have experienced there. whether you like her or not, it was very informative. why do afghan people not want the truth to be told about the real life of afghans?
