You have the Taliban to contend with and we have the Christian nationalists who want to bring their version of Christianity to rule the United States. I live in Oklahoma and our Governor has acted as our High Priest and declared that Jesus is LORD over every square inch of Oklahoma. Today the Holy Bible is being required in all our schools and teachers who do not comply will lose their jobs and their license to teach in Oklahoma this Fall. Perhaps it is similar to what is happening in Afghanistan, but at least for now there is no bloodshed. The Christian nationalists here are promising to bring bloody revenge if they do not win the election in November so perhaps that is coming here as well. We shall see.
I do not know the history of Afghanistan, only some of the history of my mother's people who were living in what is now North Georgia about 800 years ago. Some of our people became arrogant and built large mounds with temples atop them where they made decrees that all should do this or that thing that they wished. We became tired of their endless demands and closed them up in their temples, burning them down around them. There followed a period of perhaps 100 years when our towns were repeatedly burned and abandoned - yet we persisted. By the time the Europeans came the temples and mounds were long deserted and we had no hereditary or religious people who constituted a ruling class. Perhaps leaving is not the answer for we were still there where we were living before the trouble began. It took the Americans to round us up and force us to live where we are now because they wanted our land. Eventually they decided they also wanted the land where they moved us, so they took it and made the State of Oklahoma. Yet today we still persist living in what remains of the Cherokee Nation. The Americans do not seem to want your land - you are lucky even though times are hard now there. A dream which lives in the hearts of the people cannot die, so hold on to the dream of a free people living in a free Afghanistan. It will not be easy, or quick to accomplish.
