Here’s the mystery woman who ditched her burqa in Afghanistan and sauntered around Kabul with her legs showing — stunning onlookers and scandalizing the country’s mullahs.

“I was shocked,’’ the man who took the photo, local journalist Hayat Ensafi, told the BBC.

“I know I had to catch this special moment because I never saw a woman here walking down the streets like this.’’

He tried to talk to her, “but she walked very fast and didn’t talk to me at all.’’

He posted the shot on Facebook and it has gone viral.

“The whole city of Kabul is shocked,’’ he told the British network.

...

During the 1960s and ’70s, women’s rights made some progress in Afghanistan. Many still wore veils, but skirts were common.

But the Taliban rolled back women’s rights and now it’s back to the burqa.

She must have lost her head.

By now, anyway.

Why would someone post a selfie sent by former congresscritter weiner?

[Rinnwald]

They’re not bad. Could use some heels.

Well since this worthless reported posted her face, she will likely be dead in few days.

She’ll be dead within a day

The period under the pro-Soviet regime prior to the Soviet invasion was about as civilized as Afghanistan ever got.

But I suspect that was a thin veneer, and largely only in Kabul.

Awful awful place.

She’s TOAST !

She’s wearing socks, no shoes.

She may have escaped from some place, for good or for ill.

I think that we need to get an expert opinion on this matter. ;-)

Cue some miserable savage with acid to throw in her face in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

It releases their inner Stalin...

[Scrambler Bob]

No legs in that 2007 picture.

[EternalVigilance]

Not unless they’re in pieces.

The guy in the background of the first picture looks like he wants to run and hide.

Sort of reminds me of stories of old men in the Old West who would sit on steps outside businesses so they could ogle at the ankles of the ladies who raised their dresses slightly as they walked up the steps.
