It's still going on, if you're father is a mullah or politician in Iran. Sharia is for the little people.

These fascinating photographs from Afghanistan in the 1960s are a far cry from the war-torn images in the news today.
The eye-opening collection was captured by university professor Dr Bill Podlich from Arizona, who swapped life in America to travel to Kabul with his wife, Margaret, and two teenage daughters, Jan and Peg.
Using his Kodachrome film, his images show a peaceful Afghanistan making strides towards a more liberal and Westernised lifestyle - a stark contrast to harrowing sights seen during Taliban regime.

Kind of like Iraq, B.C. (Before Carter)
This is a vivid reminder of the satanic evil called radical Islam that destroys every material and spiritual entity that it touches.
Photographic evidence that these monsters are evil.
You mean Iran?
Taliban ,turning back time a 1000 years
Fascinating photos. The country still looks poor but smiling men - how unusual is this now? Handsome men! And, those wonderful, sleek 60s styles on the pretty girls. Some of those men and women are alive today. Nostalgia must have a whole different meaning for them...
The article tries to blame the changes on “33 years of war”. That isn’t the problem. What the hell does war have to do with burkas?

Interesting pic ...
Guess they had to find a use for all of those German helmets after the war.
most helmets look like that today
Jews used Mauser 98s with Swastikas on them to help create Israel.
I’ve got one.
Waste not want not.
They probably got a very cheap discount in picking up those helmets (and the uniform of the guy in the back line).
i see why the burqa made a comeback...
It just shows that anything Islam touches will eventually turn to sh*t. Just look what is happening in the UK and Europe and what is creeping into America.
I dunno . . . looking through all the pictures, there are almost no women. The ones you can see are foreigners.
America responded by fighting the whole of Islam across the mid east and inviting them to resettle here. As much as I admire Reagan, this was the wrong time to "liberate" Islamists from the Communists just as it was for Carter to relinquish support for the Shah of Iran. Both Bush's are assholes for dragging us into wars among Islamists for the benefit of the Saudis. Clinton is an asshole for not retaliating for attacks against Americans and its military abroad. Obama is an asshole for being a Muslim. Its tough being led by decision makers not acting in our interests.
Burqa, shmurqa, I'm rich.
I am about ready to give up on the human race. Throughout history masses of people have followed evil leaders like Stalin, Hitler and Zero. But going back to the seventh century which could well result in the end of Western Civilization (with the cooperation of our Western “’rulers”) well that takes the cake.
