Pakistan prays for Malala Yousafzai
Soniah Kamal
I remember the name Malala. I remember a report in NPR, a father and daughter from Swat determined to keep studying despite what degrees the Taliban set forth. I remember their voices under the English language voice overs. I remember that girl called Malala. I remember thinking what a beautiful name, what a wonderful father, what strong girl- God bless her. Always. ——- And so this is when your heart breaks: when a fourteen year old girl worries about things like being able to go to school, being able to wear her uniform, being able to be have a life without worrying about things like acid being thrown on her or being shot. Malala Yousafzai is such a fourteen year old. We know her name because she’s brave- brave to speak out, mature enough to have an opinion, and smart enough to know that her voice out there will make a change— small perhaps but so what- change is change! Malala was shot by the Taliban. Yes. Shot. A fourteen year old girl who would in another world be a junior scout, and selling cookies door to door, and making up cheers, and worrying about silly things like unveiling this years new American Doll. Instead this girl is an activist. Instead this girl worries about fates adults in many countries do not worry about: opening my mouth might equal losing my life. This is not simply a question gender wars, of men against women, but rather a toxic ideology against a ‘normal’ life– a life where girls go to school and get an education and are not repressed by screwed up notions of patriarchy which many women gladly believe in and adhere to too. To Malala, and all the others girls, and also the boys who understand how unfair it is: I just don’t know what to say. I don’t know what to say. Which is not good enough. Because silence is never good under any circumstances. Imagine how screwed up, how sick a human being must be to a school bus and ask by name for a little girl in order to shoot her point blank. What sort of a world is this. What sort of an unfair world. Two girls were shot that morning. Malala. And the girl who pointed her out. I had stopped blogging about events of this nature because I felt why when there are louder voices out there who can make an actual difference. But it has occurred to me gradually, painfully that not blogging about such events is actually worse. Yes I’m just another voice, another opinion, yes I perhaps make no difference at all: but I can do what citizen blogging does best and that is simply, through the written words, bear witness. Sometimes that is all one has. Sometimes one has to believe that it is enough.
from the Pukhtoonistan Gazette, December 2011
A couple of years ago, in 2009, she told me, “I curse my name Malala — mournful — which keeps happiness away from me.” She had said this as she sat beside her father who ran a school. She cried as she talked about her wretched life during the rule of the Swat Taliban. A day before the Taliban’s deadline for shutting down girls’ schools, I reached the valley on Feb 14, 2009, a little before dawn. Various muezzins were calling the faithful to prayer, their voices resonating almost in unison. But despite the peace that enveloped the traveler, the menacing shadows of the surrounding mountains held Mingora city in thrall. Almost everything in the dark valley belonged to the Taliban, who had reduced Swat to a ghost of its glorious past. Grabbing those who opposed them or did not conform to their diktat at night, they would drag their captives to the ‘Khooni Chowk’ to carry out their macabre ritual of early-morning slaughter. Not too far from Malala’s house, it had become routine for passersby to view, until midday, the mutilated bodies lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the square. The knock on the door at the pre-dawn hour, then, was alarming for Malala’s father Ziauddin. I had interviewed Malala previously on the subject of education, but today I reminded him of an earlier commitment for a documentary, which a foreign media outlet had agreed to finance. read rest here
from Dawn. PESHAWAR: Surgeons treating National Peace Award winner and young Pakistani rights activist Malala Yousafzai, who was attacked by Pakistani Taliban on Tuesday in Mingora city of Swat, have recommended the government to send her abroad for treatment to save her life. Quoting surgeons, who conducted her detailed checkup, the official sources said here Tuesday that the single bullet, which hit her head, had pierced down to backbone. Swelling on the scull does not allow surgery right now, they added. “In such a condition, she immediately needs a sophisticated surgical procedure, which is not possible in the country,” they opined. Malala along with three other schoolmates sustained bullet injuries when some unknown assailants opened fire on their school van in Mingora early in the day. Later, she was shifted to CMH Peshawar. Meanwhile, Interior Minister Rehman Malik has issued instructions to the pertinent authorities to complete the arrangements of her travel, if need arises to take her abroad.

I see this young lady and I feel a bolt of pain — she could easily be MY baby! May God help her recover quickly and bring about better days which currently exist only in the hope in the eyes of her and of other kids like her!

Malala Yousufzai represents the SPIRIT of the “LALA”. The killers will never be caught. These are CRIMINALS of humanity. IF this cancer is not controlled, it will destroy the whole body. Everyone knows it.. but.. no one is ready to bell this cat.
Merge Pakistan with China if need be. It will bring Social Peace.. Improved Law and Order. Development. People can pray in the mosques/temples/churches. THAT is in their personal domain.
YEH KYA BAAT HAI. For a sign-board.. for the sake of SYMBOLISM.. you cannot allow Breakdown of LAW and ORDER. Law and Order is VITAL to run a society. You cannot allow SYMBOLISM to hijack LAW and ORDER and DEVELOPMENT.
If i have to choose between Law and order / Development versus. Symbolism., anyday i shall choose the former.
Merger of Pak, Bangladesh, Burma is the ONLY way to prevent a catastrophe in SE Asia.. otherwise this region is in flames.
“HUTTAMA”… I see ‘HUTTAMA’.. It can be prevented by the Chinese. Kill all these extremists, if need be.. so that peace and development reigns ! Otherwise they will intercept the development process.
“Merger of Pak, Bangladesh, Burma is the ONLY way to prevent a catastrophe in SE Asia.. otherwise this region is in flames.”
Yes, taking over Burma and absorbing it into a larger Muslim state makes good sense, not merger into China. This larger Muslim state can then work WITH the Chinese to fight the hegemony of the US and all other non-Muslims everywhere.
Best and later
Islam has put hindu lands under the boot of arabs and their bootlickers and now you want to put these lands under the boot of chinese ethnofascists-imperialists.
To merge Burma with BD will mean muslims will start killing off buddhists like they did in India earlier.
But what has that got to do with Malala?
The poor girl has been shot and wounded by muslims, by agents and quislings of islam. Muslims will only come up with a theory blaming it on jews or India.
My Dear fellow-Pakistanis!
Maulvi Ehsanullah Ehsan, the spokesman of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has just endorsed the attack on Malala Yusufzai. Everybody can guess that if Maulvi Ehsanullah Ehsan or even the actual assailants were to appear before the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the mullah would be honorably exonerated due to “lack of evidence”. We all know that. My advice: Don’t worry about Malala. She’s better off without your prayers. Worry about yourselves.
I have heard Malala speaking in English on a video, recorde some time ago. She is a typical Pashtun girl, very resilient ad determined in her ambitions whatever they are, but very naive to invlve herself in politics at this age. She is a rebel in the society where she lives and was prepared to take head on those who oppose her drive while her parents elders appear to be the sissies. May God help her recover from this cowardly attack. Not the Govt. but the tribal elders can provide her the security.
Rex Minor
to rex
Those who attacked Malala were devout muslims. Are you calling them cowards? How can an islamofascist like you call muslims cowards?
Mr Pakistani,
Under the Pashtun codex the dignity and security of inncent women and children are not violable in Pashtun societies and those who violate this are punishable by death from their elders or that of the tribe.
Rex Minor
RExi boy,
isnt being a rebel in Islam Haraam? or is it Harem? whatever
Sathyamukhi and other brain dead expat hindus, please note that there is Raam in Haraam
food for thought!!

MALALA, APNI UMAR SE BARH KAR BATEIN KARNE KA YEHI NATEEJA HOTA HE!!
YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE SERVED AS A TOOL FOR PROPAGANDA AGAINST YOUR OWN PEOPLE. NOW WAIT FOR OBAMA TO SEND AN AMBULANCE HELICOPTER TO FETCH YOU
AND GRANT YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY THE US CITIZENSHIP!! THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WERE ASPIRING FOR, ISN’T IT??
AKB,
I thought you reacted to Indians posting against Islam. Thank you for confirming that you are equally brain dead.
AKB,
There is so little info on Malala coming from Pakistan! You have the ministers with two Nationalities and the President who is always travelling outside the country, and then you have these Tussies senator from the PPP part appearing on Aljazeera and sayingv things whih one can not follow. This is at the time when the USA is poised to invade syria and Turkey is on the verge of repeating the historical mistake by intervening in an Arab country and Israel playing the music to push America into war with Iran.
Rex Minor
PS Not the Pakistan Govt but Imran Khan has offered to pay for the Hospital costs.
Pathetic turds scared of the voices of girls.
Malala has more guts in her little finger than all these illiterate idiots put together. But as @APakistani said, this is not about Malala. This is about you. Are you going to continue your sheep-like silence? Or worse are you conflicted about whether this is dead wrong?
Where’s the fury? Where’s the determination to strike back at these killers? Where’s the thirst for justice? Mewling noises about “poor Malala” are not enough. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to remain silent. I’m not confident Pakistan’s people can distinguish between good and evil any more. Prove me WRONG!
Sanjay,
read dawn. Apparently killing of kids is justified in islam.
@romain: source of justification is irrelevant. This is not about Islam. This is about cowardly pr**ks picking on defenseless kids. How do they look themselves in the mirror? Wish Pakistan finds it’s Julio Ribeiro/KPS Gill to talk back in the language of the gun. Not holding my breath though.
@romain: And what’s with this freaking instinct to pray? When sh*t hits the fan people start praying. I have news for these prayer-mongers: your prayers are doing sh*t. You’re talking to the wind. God does not exist – and if he did he wouldn’t give a sh*t.
Khitai the child killer was an astrologer too, now used to justify Malala shooting (Dawn)
“If anyone argues that she was female, and then we can see the incident of killing of wife by a blind companion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) because she used to say demeaning words for the Prophet and the Prophet praised that act,” it argues equating the TTP act with that of a the prophet’s companion.
The statement goes on to defend the attack with a reference from the time of Hazrat Khizar, a revered figure in Islamic history who was described as a righteous servant of God and endowed with the qualities of unmatched wisdom and mystic power.
“If anyone argues about her young age, then the story of Hazrat Khizar in the Quran (states that) while traveling with Prophet Musa (AS), (he) killed a child. Arguing about the reason of his killing, he said that the parents of this child were pious and in the future he (the child) would cause a bad name for them,” adds the statement.
Why don’t all the Khans, Ashiqs, Difa walle, come out to protest?
.
Isn’t this a gustakhi in the Shan of the rasooloo? Using his name to justify shooting a little girl. Or is it that he would have approved, so its ok?
.
If this is an insult to the prophet, why don’t people come out and sacrifice a few humans in the shaan of the rasooloo, burn some cars and buildings to show their anger?
.
Tomorrow is Friday, lets see the pakistanis do it. But I expect we will probably see someone shoot her again in the hospital and be showered with rose petals by lawyers, students and sundry others. That society has degenerated completely.
I don’t know what is breaking point of good Pakistanis when they will stop living in denial and will get up and say
‘ enough is enough, now we will not let extremists to dictate their terms’ . If attack on young Malala has not woken them up from slumber, I wonder what will.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
October 10, 2012 3:59 PM
ISLAMABAD — Schools shut their doors in protest and Pakistanis across the country held vigils today to pray for a 14-year-old girl who was shot by a Taliban gunman after daring to advocate education for girls and criticize the militant group.
The shooting of Malala Yousufzai on Tuesday in the town of Mingora in the volatile Swat Valley horrified Pakistanis across the religious, political and ethnic spectrum. Many in the country hoped the attack and the outrage it has sparked will be a turning point in Pakistan’s long-running battle against the Taliban, which still enjoys considerable public support for fighting U.S. forces in neighboring Afghanistan.
A Taliban gunman walked up to a bus taking children home from school and shot Malala in the head and neck. Another girl on the bus was also wounded. Pictures of the vehicle showed bloodstained seats where the girls were sitting.
Malala appeared to be out of immediate danger after doctors operated on her early Wednesday to remove a bullet lodged in her neck. But she remained in intensive care at a hospital in the northwestern city of Peshawar, and Pakistan’s Interior Minister said the next 48 hours would be crucial.
Small rallies and prayer sessions were held for her in Mingora, the eastern city of Lahore, the southern port city of Karachi and the capital of Islamabad. In newspapers, on TV and in social media forums, Pakistanis voiced their disgust with the attack, and expressed their admiration for a girl who spoke out against the Taliban when few dared.
Even the country’s top military officer — a man who rarely makes public statements — condemned the shooting and visited the Peshawar hospital to check on the teenager.
“In attacking Malala, the terrorist have failed to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an icon of courage and hope who vindicates the great sacrifices that the people of Swat and the nation gave, for wresting the valley from the scourge of terrorism,” Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said in a statement.
In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton praised the young Pakistani girl.
“She was attacked and shot by extremists who don’t want girls to have an education and don’t want girls to speak for themselves, and don’t want girls to become leaders,” she said.
At the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack on Malala, calling it a “heinous and cowardly act,” U.N. spokesman Nartin Nesirky said.
Malala is admired across Pakistan for exposing the Taliban’s atrocities and advocating girls’ education in the face of religious extremism.
At the age of 11, she began writing a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in the Swat Valley. After the military ousted the militants in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls’ education, something the Taliban strongly opposes.
The group claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attack, vowed to target her again.
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said authorities have identified her attackers and know how they got into the valley, but no arrests have been made.
The news that surgeons were able to remove a bullet lodged in Malala’s neck was greeted with relief by many. But even with such an outpouring of grief and outrage in Pakistan over the young girl’s shooting, it was unclear whether it would indeed trigger a shift in public opinion against the Taliban.
Many in Pakistan view the group as waging a noble fight against U.S. troops that invaded another Muslim country, Afghanistan, and they argue that the Taliban problem within Pakistan will fade once American forces leave. They argue that Taliban attacks against targets in Pakistan aim to punish the government in Islamabad for its alliance with Washington.
“Pakistan society is polarized on who is doing terrorism,” said Hasan-Askari Rizvi, a political analyst in Lahore. He said that divide has been evident even in the public condemnations of the attack, with some people speaking out strongly against the Taliban while others have criticized the government for failing to protect Malala.
Omar R. Quraishi, the editorial pages editor at Pakistan’s English-language Express Tribune newspaper, questioned whether the public outrage had reached such a critical mass that it would indeed mark a turning point.
He said Kayani’s strong statement in support of the girl may be an attempt to gauge whether there is enough public outrage to support a sharp response from the army against the Taliban. The general, said Quraishi, doesn’t want to be in a position where people are asking: “Why are you fighting America’s wars?”
The Pakistani military has been waging a deadly fight in the tribal regions against militants at a cost of about 4,000 soldiers killed. But critics, especially in the U.S., accuse the army of going after militants that attack the Pakistani state while cultivating others that it feels will be useful someday in Afghanistan.
Still, there is a precedent in Pakistan of Taliban excesses provoking public outrage, which the military has then capitalized on to move against the militants.
In 2009, after a video surfaced of militants publicly whipping a woman, purportedly in the Swat Valley, triggered a wave of public revulsion, the army felt empowered enough to launch a major offensive against the Taliban in the area. Government forces flushed the militants out of the scenic valley, but failed to capture or kill the movement’s senior leaders
ISPR:
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, visited CMH Peshawar, today, to oversee the treatment being given to Malala Yousafzai and to meet her family.
COAS strongly condemned this heinous act of terrorism. He said, the cowards who attacked Malala and her fellow students, have shown time and again how little regard they have for human life and how low they can fall in their cruel ambition to impose their twisted ideology. This is not the first time they have targeted children, the attack on Parade Lane, Rawalpindi is a painful reminder of their bloodlust. They have no respect even for the golden words of the prophet (PBUH) that “the one who is not kind to children, is not amongst us”. Such inhuman acts clearly expose the extremist mindset the Nation is facing.
In attacking Malala, the terrorist have failed to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an icon of courage and hope, who vindicates the great sacrifices that the people of Swat and the nation gave, for wresting the valley from the scourge of terrorism. She has become a symbol for the values that the Army, with the nation behind it, is fighting to preserve for our future generations. These are the intrinsic values of an Islamic society, based on the principles of liberty, Justice and equality of man. Islam guarantees each individual – male or female – equal and inalienable rights to life, property and human dignity, with faith and education as the chief obligations to achieve enlightenment. We wish to bring home a simple message: WE REFUSE TO BOW BEFORE TERROR. WE WILL FIGHT, REGARDLESS OF THE COST, WE WILL PREVAIL INSHA ALLAH.
COAS re-emphasised that the terrorists underestimate the resolve and resilience of the people of Pakistan. It is time we further unite and stand up to fight the propagators of such barbaric mindset and their sympathizers.
65 saal se yehi naatak ho raha hai (Symbolism versus Real Work). They are not grasping “real problems”.. “law and order”.. creating avenues for development. That is the prime job of a Govt/Ruler.
As regards the West : We have seen Kosovo.. and what they did.. It is so comic when i hear high-sounding words from those whose heritage is the “Inquisition in Spain”… and “Kosovo” (in our times). The ugliest facts come bare ! What have they done.. Balfour Declaration.. Kosovo.. Iraq.. Afghanistan.. millions killed.. based on LIES.. fraudulent “Dossiers”… and WMD.
It was plain theft of OIL Resources (& access to Central Asia.. which is the next Stage) in broad daylight. But I would partly blame the Arabs too. For the years 1960-1980.. they became TOO CLOSE to the US.. and were eagerly ready to play the role of their “LOCAL CONTACT”… For ambition they sold soul.. and in return got daisy-cutter bombs as repayment w/interest.
However.. Sabra-Shatila Camps in Lebanon.. Kosovo.. Bosnia.. Mumbai 1992.. Gujarat 2002.. are milestones.. that are etched on our cumulative psyche. The scars shall remain for a lifetime. People wish.. that we erase them. TIme is both a merciless enemy.. and a healer.. but societal wrongs have a huge shelf life. THey become part of folklore.. it becomes part of collective consciousness.
The answer is a long-term “Pulling the socks up” ! But it wont happen.. There are no signs of life to sustain “synergy”.. Its all scattered pieces of glass. If anyone tried to assimilate them.. one would injure himself.
Yet one must have “Hope”.
There is light !
Tislim,
The article which you have posted is talking about turning point in
Pakistan. Do you think that this Malala incident is going to be the
turning point ?
Dast mian,

Merge Pakistan with China if need be. It will bring Social Peace.. Improved Law and Order. Development.

Alternatively it will bring what we called Pakity on chowk into China….

I don’t know the answer because I am not sure about your well meaning question. Turning point to what? Most people in Pakistan value education. They value girl’s education. Many seldom get education let along any good quality education. The phenomenol growth in madarsas has been there because the state could not provide education. Malala was saying loudly that as a girl she had a right to education; the taliban should not be blowing up girls’ schools. She was not saying anything that people don’t already believe in. Will the Taliban now stop blowing up girls’ schools? I don’t think so. Will it change the way Pakistanis feel about the Taliban? I think many Pakistanis already detest the Taliban. However it is true that there is a significant section of the population that believe the Taliban are fighting jihad and these reprisals in Pakistan are because of Pakistan’s support for the war effort. They conflate their opposition to the drone campaign with reprisals against Pakistanis. They think that a stoppage of the drone campaign and PA efforts against the Taliban in Pakistan will stop the attacks against the civilian population. One can add to this the PA’s own aims in Afghanistan and the distinction between good and bad taliban. The Taliban supporters are either misguided or they are naively ok with Taliban’s real aim. The Taliban want to set up their barbaric vision of Islam in Pakistan. The Taliban reject the Pakistan consitution. The Pakistani Taliban supporters don’t talk about this aim. They view their activities in Afghanistan as Jihad and their activities in Pakistan as criminal. Other than this, people are just plain scared. They find this level of zealotry frightening. This is not unique to Pakistan. Extremists love to cower the populace into a supine stance.
So what will change? Some erstwhile supporters of the Taliban may stop sitting on the fence and will find the courage, inspired by Malala, to say that this is wrong. The PA is already involved in some deradicalisation in Swat. With greater support, it may do more. The provincial and central governments are in contrast totally hopeless and under attack themselves. That will not change.
Below is a film of the PA’s efforts at deradicalisation of children.
Dr Farukh Khan who was leading the efforts to teach the children that this was not Islam was killed by the Taliban during filming. The director of the film himself was kidnapped for 6 months but came back straight after to finish the film. The Taliban want to control the situation so they eliminate the ones who stand up. PA has no alternative but to fight them. They are not the negotiating types.That may result in more violence but not if the population swings behind. The population holds the key to the outcome. Malala’s sacrifice may be one step forward in bringing the populace onboard.

Tislim,
Thanks for very well articulated reply. Your last few words have said what I wanted to know.
“The population holds the key to the outcome. Malala’s sacrifice may be one step forward in bringing the populace onboard.”. I just hope that it is not a small baby step but a giant step. Appreciate that you took out some time to give me a nice lengthy reply.
Even the worst cynics and critics of Pakistan could not have anticipated as late as a decade ago what is happening in Pakistan. Not how fast Pakistani elite would run to abandon every possible link to Islam, except one of identity and false pride (false if you don’t really believe in it.)
This reversion away from Islam is shameful. Even I, as a non-Muslim, would have offered a better defense.
Look how absolutely ridiculous, and totally unIslamic Pakistan has become.
To ‘shift focus away from Taliban’ is being declared “treason’ by Pakistani LIBERALS!
to kaal
Pity that even today pakistanis are not rejecting islam although it is clear that it is an inherently fascist-totalitarian, murderous-misogynic, blasphemous ideology. The pakistanis are still praising islam and putting their hope on it and ruining themselves. Elite and commoners are both stupidized, intimidated (some are bribed) and zombified completely.
You may be a non-muslim but by praising islam you are pushing the muslims under the wheels of fascism and bloodshed.
Intelligent human beings will recognize you as an enemy of muslims, as someone who is pushing them into more islamic fascism.
Dear ahem, I don’t think like that. If my Muslim brothers and sisters accept you their ‘bestest friend’ ever, it would make me no happier or sadder.
I am merely shocked at their utter and complete confusion and cowardice. You may hate tajender and drone but do you ever think they would stoop so low and give up on Islam so soon?
Some of us had long been predicting a coming war between Islam and Pakistan, but I must admit never did I ever expect such a radical and complete decampment, so soon, by its entire ruling class.
Allah is angry. Something is not right. We have to go back to Islamic roots. May be start by making Arabic the only language for Pakistan. We have tried everything, now let’s try Allah for a change. Submit to Allah and his command.
Merging with Chinese is an unislamic blasphemous proposition. If anything we should surrender to Mecca, the divine city of prophet.
We need to get closer to Allah.
to kaal
You are exposing yourself to be a real spin-doctor.
I don’t hate tajender, rex or drona. I fear the muslims because of so many of such types among them.
Islam is the biggest blasphemy and the biggest producer of cowards, narrow-close-minded sectarian warriors and self-deceivers.
So what are you shocked about – or pretend to be shocked about?
—
The “bestness” of a friend consists also in his not expecting to be recognized or called as such.
Take that once more from me: the best friend of Pakistan (and muslims) is the one who exposes islam’s fascism and the inherent-ness of this fascism in islam.
We are living in the year 2012. We have seen 1400 years of islam – so no more time or possibility for any praise, flattery or defence of islam.
—
If you really are a non-muslim then be sure that all your flatteries of and good hopes about islam will have a very evil result – for muslims and non-muslims.
You can accuse me of being boring-repetitive – but this is a message that NEEDS to be actively repeated.
I think kaal has a wrong presumption about rational abilities of human brain.
God is not perfect, human brain is not fully wired at birth, much of it happens in early childhood. It’s like hardware without software.
Kaal is trying to reverse the faulty wiring by gently blowing at it from a distance – not going to work.
Ali sina is the only treatment – while it lasts.
Milestogo
Anger of Allah is of no importance, dont make the Prophet angry if you want to avoid the wrath of real power behind the throne . BaKhuda Diwana Bashad Ba Muhammad Hoshiyar.

The muslim understanding of brother is very diffrent from the hindu understanding.
Hindus understand brotherhood as between Rama and Bharata (as the ideal sanatana-dharma example to be followed).
Muslims understand brotherhood as between Aurangzeb and Dara Shukoh (as the ruthless islamic example to be followed).
So don’t make a fool of yourself trying to appear holy/saintly.

Pakistan doesn’t need pimps like you. There are many Malala’s dying every day but this malala is obviously ”special”….because she was acting as a tool of propaganda by the enemies and killers of his kinsmen.
Like Mukhtaraan mai, the rich need some scandal or event to relieve them of their extra dollars…go ahead, send her some …but you bloody indians don’t have dollars but deal in rupiya!!
malala’s killing is entirely justified.
the TTP justified it quoting hadiths. so, they are quite right.
it’s the people of pakistan who have been hinduised by BOLLYWOOD influence that they are wrongly believing that what happened to her is wrong.
she deserved it.
and, the examples the spokesman quoted, are also irrefutable: that of poetess and child.
people like YLH and RHR will find the even more reason to demand jinnah’s pakistan, closing their eyes to the truth, that this is the real fallout of demanding a nation based on religion, yet proclaiming secularism.
the art of hypocrisy is something that pakistanis have inherited from jinnah, and are really quite good at it.
I conducted a small experiment on gauge the mind of our liberal friends in Pakistan right now. I submitted a most simple post on one of the million Malala articles cluttering the Pakistan Liberal Tribune. It was rejected – something that only rarely happens to my posts there:
Here it was. I have resubmitted it. Hopefully, they will let it go through:
——————-Start —————————-
Before we bandy around such West-touted orientalist labels as ‘religious fanatics’ please consider that Islam does NOT preach extremism. Islam is the very essence of moderation and rationalism. The greater fanatism is to describe the criminal acts of a handful as ‘religious’ acts or ‘Islam-inspired’ acts. We should more properly be looking at economic and other socio-historical factors. Also keep in mind that South Asian culture is generally regressive, intolerant, extremist, and violent. In absolutely no way has any of this anything to do with ‘religion’ here.
It would be very sad if our Muslim brothers and sisters bought this unIslamic propaganda over one incident which has not been fully investigated and understood yet.
——————-End————————–

Islam is already 1400 years old. No excuses in favour of islam are possible anymore.
Anyone who still tries it, he is a danger to us all.
He is a misleader, a fool or a scoundrel.
AKB,
actually i am glad I am not needed. In all seriousness I would prefer to see the Taliban take over Pakiland completely for they represent the true Islam.
BTW last night was bad. Your sister did not do much business.

Well said compatriot. I was just watching the news and some politicians, some of whom representing Jamaat Islami, were suggesting that Malala was attacked by the Americans. Just imagine. The TTP (Tehreek Taliban Pakistan) spokesman has come out in the open to admit that this attack was carried out by the TTP, but the JI says it’s the US.
“Pity that even today pakistanis are not rejecting islam although”
.
Most have rejected it in their hearts, that’s the reason the Taliban have to kill everyday to keep the goats in line. They are following the best tradition of the prophet though. He used terror quite effectively.

You have written :
“Under the Pashtun codex the dignity and security of inncent women and children are not violable in Pashtun societies and those who violate this are punishable by death from their elders or that of the tribe”
Well then, it’s time for the elders of the Pashtun tribes to wake up and start the mass scale executions of all the Taliban among them. These Taliban are responsible for the deaths of 40,000 Pakistani civilians and about 10,000 soldiers. Frankly, I think this is going to be beyond the Pashtun elders. 50,000 Pakistanis have been killed by the Taliban/Mullahs. This is no time for Jirgas and discussions. Pakistan’s politicians and courts are too gutless to deliver this justice and it is, by any standards, time for justice and retribution.

Does it mean that the dignity and security of guilty women is violable?
Which woman is “guilty” of what?
In fact any woman who challenges the primitivism, the machoism, the misogyny, the feudalism and tribalism of the pashtuns and the fascism of islam has no right to security and dignity. Is that so?
No wonder pashtuns are slipping further down into fascism (islamic fascism) and inhuman feudalism-tribalism and then they are blaming others for their misfortunes.
