Indian Soaps Banned in Afghanistan


I've got to say, I think I agree with the Mullahs on this one. I'm not a big soap opera fan either.

"Alim Jamali, 27, a psychology student, said the Indian serials are "just like opium -- they make everyone addicted and distract them from the work of rebuilding our country." All Afghans want education and rights, he added, "but they must be within the frame of Islam."

I don't know, though, that's a pretty bold statement. How about--"Soap operas are just like huffing glue", or "Soap operas are almost as addictive as a delicious McGriddles sandwich at McDonalds." To me that sounds a lot more reasonable.
