Taliban Threaten To Kill Malala Yousafzai For 'Criticising Islam'

I'm sure we'll keep that poor girl safe from them. She's so brave.

Is she still in Europe or did she move back to the middle east? I don't think that threat will amount to much of she is still in Europe.

Pretty fucked up though.

She lives in my home city of Birmingham, and attends one of the best schools in our area. She's taken asylum here but I believe she intends to move back to Pakistan one day to continue the good fight against those barbaric goat fuckers who still couldn't kill her after they shot her in the head.

Isn't it strange that they didn't take their failure to kill her the first time as a sign from Allah that she is right and that they should listen to her.

I went from thinking "she's so adorable" when she laughed, to thinking "she's so impressive" when she started speaking. No wonder those fuckbags want her dead. They have good reason to fear her.

It's not just the fuckbags.

That cynicism was echoed this week across Pakistan, where conspiracy-minded citizens loudly branded Ms. Yousafzai a C.I.A. agent, part of a nebulous Western plot to humiliate their country and pressure their government.

Muhammad Asim, a student standing outside the gates of Punjab University in the eastern city of Lahore, dismissed the Taliban attack on Ms. Yousafzai as a made-for-TV drama. “How can a girl survive after being shot in the head?” he asked. “It doesn’t make sense.”

The reaction seemed to stem from different places: sensitivity at Western hectoring, a confused narrative about the Taliban and a sense of resentment or downright jealousy.

In Swat, some critics accused Ms. Yousafzai’s father, Ziauddin, of using his precocious daughter to drum up publicity and of maligning Pashtun culture. Others said the intense publicity had cast their district in a negative light, overshadowing the good work of other Pakistanis in education.

She needs to stay away from that shithole. They'll never learn.

Yes well I guess a band of armed 'men' shooting a teenage girl in the face for nothing more than going to school will do that to a reputation.
