    Afghan women in a cross road

    By Naeem1  |  Posted August 17, 2011  |  Mazari Sharif, Afghanistan
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Naeem1 shot these pictures of Afghan women in traditional Muslim garb. For him, these photos represent the struggle between religious tradition and modernity faced by many Afghans. 'Religion controls every aspect of one's life under the banner of God and secularism frees one from fear and greed, the very theory found in all four major religions,' he said. 'Religion divides people under different names and affiliations and secularism breaks those walls by recognizing one value and that is humanity.'
    - jmsaba, CNN iReport producer

    Most often, Afghan women find themselves in a crossroad between secularism and conservatism.
