Trust Me, We Know

..."If my wife goes to the bazaar without my permission, I will kill her. This is our culture," Abdul Qayum shouted scornfully during an interview in his office in the city of Jalalabad.

If these were Christians abusing women the entire world media would be broadcasting it.There is a
conspiracy(believe it or not).Only white Christians
are evil, everyone else is misunderstood.We must
understand their culture and religion.Like the slaves in China,nobody cares.They're atheists in
China,it's their culture.

No, guns. You forget that we are guilty and at fault.

Just because we are.
