quote
“I was unable to show my friendship publicly, because my people were ignorant and fanatical. If I showed any inclination toward the English, my people would call me an infidel for joining hands with infidels.”*
* quote attributed to Abdur Rahman, the Emir of Afghanistan who made peace with the British at the end of the second Anglo-Afghan war. Reported in “the Great Game” by Peter Hopkirk |
