Malala Yousafzai,,,a Lesson To Us All.
I have just heard this very brave young girl being interviewed on the Today Program.
What a breath of fresh air. Compare what some of the stupid men interviewed back in Pakistan were saying, with this eloquent, intelligent girl.
Some of them didn't even believe that she had been shot in the head !
It is rumoured that she is line for a Nobel Peace prize. I do hope so...she has my vote.
There is a longer interview on tonight's Panorama.

I heard that interview. She said that the people of Pakistan always wait for someone else to do something about the problems they face (it’s the same the world over), and she thought "Why not me? Why don’t I do something about it.” She made me laugh when she said, in effect, that due to the worldwide publicity the attack had engendered she thought the...

Stupid men?
Much as I despise the Islamic extremists it has to be remembered many of the indoctrinated are poor and uneducated and so easily brainwashed. I don't suppose they interviewed the brains behind the outfit.
But yes, a girl mature beyond her years. The problem with giving her the Nobel Peace prize is that we have probably unwittingly upped the ante on her head.

In this world of religious tolerance - I have just got off the LSE / pineapple thread, I am sorry she has made herself a target by saying me and my lot want to go to school.
She has made a wonderfull recovery - all I can see is a Facial n palsy (dropped face) and that is it. Originally, I judged her brain was exposed (to the air) and they couldnt get skiin cover, so I was expecting after that that she would have a stroke. Well done Brum !
and brave little girl

She is an incredibly brave girl – and more power to her - but I’m amazed that those who champion antiquated Islamic cultural practices, such as the wearing of the veil which the ‘stupid’ men you mention, Mikey, insist their women adopt, don’t recognise it as part and parcel of this on-going suppressive attitude towards women.

Mike25....I never mentioned Obama, nor is he in any way germane to this thread.
In answer to Baldric, Malala is an example to us all and especially all the other little Muslim girls, wherever they live in the world. She has shown in her speech to the UN that she can be an inspiration to everybody, when it comes to sticking up for the oppressed. I am quite frankly amazed that you, or anybody else, sees it fit to be so negative and cynical about her.
Shame on you

Shouldn't laugh on a thread like this but LOL @ Birdie...
I watched the programme and she truly is an inspirational girl. Her father was equally inspirational. He treated her as well, if not better, than his sons. He understands the value of women in a country where they are considered second class citizens.

not sure about the Nobel peace prize, but she is a brave young lady, standing up for what she believes in, sadly i can't say the same for the apologists for this religion and to a large extent it's backward culture.
having read, though can't verify it's truth, a comment from a British Muslim woman living in UK, who said that in reference to the education of the sexes that they should be split, segregated, because that is what their religion teaches them, how do you fight that sort of ignorance. We have fought a damn long fight to get equality, the sexes to be integrated in schools, universities and colleges, to share their learning, all the while you have some men and women who think, wish, to impose this wretched ideologies on the rest of society in UK. The battles are being lost because of the craven way that educational apologists won't stand up and say that we don't want segregation on the basis of culture/religion, nor that women who want an education should be veiled in the classroom, bending over backwards by some has caused this nonsense.

sorry they are not, if they have rules on dress code, behaviour, and indeed on sexual equality, then damn well stick to them, if people don't like the rules one can debate, and talk over why they concern them, but education which is a precious commodity for all, should not be dictated to by some of these extremists in our midst. I wonder no one notices that young British Muslim women in record numbers don the burkha, many the veil, this is in UK, not some Saudi enclave, makes no damn sense to me at all.
mikey, this is what i meant and it isn't going to go away
