In “Beyond the Burqa”, Zuhra Bahman states that people prefer the traditional justice system. To begin with, over 80 percent of people from the Afghan culture would be partial to the traditional justice system.

directly off of highway 190 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Thousands of people pass by it on a daily basis without even realizing that it is something more than a “pretty train station”.
