Hakim Quick, what a name..

:D LOLLL

I went last year, Yvone Ridley was one of the speakers, I approached her briefly on her pro-Taliban stance, and how just because she saw pornography being sold in the streets of Jalallabad doesn’t make the Taliban’s cause legitimate, she kinda back-tracked, but yeah, all in all it was really informative, and I highly recommend all to attend. :yes:
