Would you like to join me in converting to Islam?
Salem aalekum, my brother. When do we get the magic carpets and genies?
shareI'd love to visit Afghanistan some day. Do you watch Drew Binsky on YouTube? He's been twice and had very positive experiences.

I need to try the bolani. Looks delicious.
Indigo Travelor has great vlogs, too. He's very sociable and engages with local people so his videos are very in depth.
He went to Afghanistan last year:

Hard to believe Buddhism was once widespread there, it still angers me that the Taliban destroyed so many of those huge ancient Buddha statues and that Islamic State destroyed ancient sites and statues in Syria and Iraq too.
Yeah, I was just watching a video about that. They're not sure if they will rebuild or not.
