Matt and Murad's

Authentic Afghan Carpets

 
 

 

Matt was an officer in Army intelligence for six years.  He spent a year in Afghanistan, where he met numerous Afghans, including Khoshall Murad.  He is the author of A Democracy Is Born, which details his experiences working on the 2004 Afghan election.

Murad is a native of Afghanistan, and he currently lives in a village outside Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan.  As a young man, Murad taught English to men and women in Kabul in defiance of the Taliban regime, risking his life in doing so.  He currently works as an interpreter there.
