Oh Afghanistan, how far you've come (baby)

Here's a BBC article about the progress of Afghanistan now that the US has cleared the country of those oppressive Taliban. Wait. Sorry. It's really about how a student, Sayed Pervez Kambaksh, has been punished to death for downloading an article about women and their role in Islam.



Probably his biggest mistake was for using the internet for something other than it's intended purpose; porn. I'm guessing if the mullahs had found "big boobies" on his search history instead of "what role does Islam give women" he would have been just fine.
