I agree that this was an amazing piece. However...
>Is it Islam?
The last time Afghanistan had any internal stability was under a fundamentalist Islamic government...so probably not?
Anyway, prescribing solutions from thousands of miles away for a culture and country with which you have no experience seems a bit arrogant.
I'm not trying to pull a generic "we're all equal, let's not judge" line on you-- I'm just saying that neither of us know much about Afghanistan. And the little we do know doesn't bode well for the success for secular institutions in that country (since the puppet governments of the USSR and USA never seem to get enough popular support to become stable).
So, let's leave the solutions to someone with better experience and understanding than a forum of internet nerds.
