Well, an obvious one is the rape of Hassan. He let's him keep the kite so it will 'always remind you of what i'm about to do'. Assef is not only raping Hassan, but wants to punish him with it for the rest of his life.
Another example is when Assef stones the people to death. He takes relish in it, insighting the crowd by 'turning slowly in a full circle'. It is clear he is a sociopath as he describes the mass murder as, 'the show'.
There is a contrast between what Assef's actually doing, and what he thinks and feels 'inside'. You would expect religious people to be honourable, as would Assef, as he calls massacring Hazara's as 'cleansing' and makes it seem holy by saying 'we only stopped to eat and pray'. However his actions show the opposite of his feelings, killing people is not what religious people should do, they should not sin, and should be honourable and not rape young boys. It is clear Assef's mind is not right as he doesn't understand that almost everything he does is a contradiction to what he says.
