Just awful
I have many friends now from Pakistan and Afghanistan that are students at my school and they are the nicest, most humble people. You hear stories from their home that are just horrific. One Afghan student told me when he was 8, he was walking with his father and his father was attacked, beaten and left to die because he was from a different sect of the religion. My friend got someone to help drag his bloodied father to a doctor and at the doctors office his father told him "Get an education and it will save your life"
He is working on his PhD after getting two masters degrees in India
