Afghanistan was once Buddhist, Greek and Hindu and had other pagan cultures before it fell to islam and became part of an islamist occupation of non-moslem lands
Most people in Afghanistan will now pray to the 1400 yr old terrorist pedophile warlord camel jacker called mohammed
they will also pray to that demonic babylon Moongod called al-Lah
a number of religions practiced in old Afghanistan were many, including Zoroastrianism, Surya worship, the Hindu Kush, was Rome and Chinese culture and pagan Greek and did not fall until the 19th century, for a while it was 'British'.
The largest Buddha statues in the world on the ancient silk road that connetced Egypt and China, Greece and the Far East, Rome plus the Middle East and Asia, Buddhas of Bamiyan. Buddhism was widespread in the region before the Islamic conquest of Afghanistan, these ancient statues survived until 2001, when they were destroyed by the Taliban RamadzanRagheads. In this and other key places in modern islamist Asscrackistan, archaeologists have located great anicent Afghanistan frescoes, stucco decorations, statuary, and rare objects from as far away as China, Phoenicia, and Rome, all buried into the dust and sands of islam, ancient objects which were crafted as early as the 2nd century, old Hindu India's Maurya Empire nomadic old Persian, explorers from Greece and Rome, Yuezhi trade by the Chinese, Alexander the Great of Macedonia, old Pre islamic Persia Iranian people the Sasanians and diggings and findings bear witness to the influence of these ancient civilizations upon Afghanistan.

Afghanistan would probably today be a secular nation where women would have CONTINUED to make up 40pct of doctors and lawyers, and a significant pct of engineers, instead of a woman-hating, religiously intolerant, corrupt exporter of heroin.

Come to think of it, the USA has destroyed, or attempted to destroy, ALL of the secular nations of the MENA (Afghanistan, Iran under Mossadegh, Iraq, Libya, Syria). We must have a death wish in that region.

The objective was to find Osama bin Laden wherever he was hiding inside Afghanistan.

It was not very odd, but Osama bin Laden was found May 2, 2011 in Abbottabad, Pakistan, because bin Laden was obviously smarter than the Pentagon planners.
