I'm glad you don't agree with it and I expect you not to agree with it, because it is something we don't agree with. We think it's deeply relativistic culturally to say that. In a sense, people who say that are patronizing as well.
There is no part of me, no cell in my body, that believes that we cannot have a country that's free, that we cannot have a country that's democratic, and that we should not live with dignity, in prosperity, and in peace, as most of the world does, and with the kind of society that you have achieved and that I enjoy today by being here.
I think the kinds of arguments those people make are not surprising, because there is also a big argument that's made in support of extremism nowadays. There are many people who justify it in one way or another, but it would be wrong to just go along with them and to fall into their trap.
As an Afghan, I would be looking up to Canada to not fall into those traps and to bravely, boldly support Afghanistan's new young democracy.
