These paintings by Afghan children are just incredible. I think I find them so moving beacause I've been totally smitten by Khaled Hosseini. I've read the Kite Runner twice and just read his new book A Thousand Splendid Suns, which was just as awesome. Both books have made me realize how little I know about Afghanistan and Islam in general. Our Outlook section has just run four really interesting essays on Islam.
