"All our sisters, all our women are secure."

“All our sisters, all our women are secure. Our God, our Quran, says women are a very important part of our society”

Taliban spokesman says if Afghan women "continue to live according to Sharia, we will be happy, they will be happy”

5. I was reading a weeks or so ago that they were going into homes stealing girls as young as 12

6. 20 million women/girls now behind the 21st Century's theocratic Iron Curtain

These women are our sisters too. The theocratic iron curtain is descending on them.

Were the U S stated concerns about human rights in the pre-Trump always just a fig leaf to cover up a raw foreign policy of naked self -interest?

10. "they will be happy"

"Excuse me", says the interpreter again, to catch our attention. I nod to show I've heard him.

"He asks, are you happy?", says the interpreter. I can imagine it, their curiosity: Are they happy? How can they be happy? I can feel their bright black eyes on us, the way they lean a little forward to catch our answers, the women especially, but the men too: we are secret, forbidden, we excite them.

Ofglen says nothing. There is a silence. But sometimes it's as dangerous not to speak.

"Yes, we are very happy," I murmur. I have to say something. What else can I say?

12. K&R, "... they will be happy ..." sounds like something Putin's Whore would say
