“The protected and self-righteous regularly talk knee-jerk ill-informed accusations towards the militaries of the western world every time civilians are killed in combat. Yet, they sit by quietly while the Taliban and many other terrorist organizations intentionally fight and hide behind or within innocent civilian populations.”

“The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.

“Women out in the village don't talk back to their husbands. It's just a law, when men say something, women should just listen.

Husbands who only use their hands or feet are very kind." -Heela (Gopal's female civilian Afghan respondent)”
