No. Obviously you regard Afghan culture as something valuable and good, since you're from there, but I see culture as tree, and if it has bad outcomes, I regard the branch that produced the poisoned tree as a poison tree. Then it's a matter of how far one wants to backtrack, and I suppose that's how much one cares about other aspects of the fruit.

I think much of the problem is Islam + Central Asia/Mongols/steppe conquests, and I think either is bad enough on its own.
