Peace-prize winning Pakistani girl on Taliban hit list fights for life after shooting

[popeyespappy]

The religion of peace strikes again. Just fucking disgusting!

Malala Yousafzai, a 14-year-old Pakistani activist who won international acclaim for her work promoting peace, and two other young girls were shot and seriously injured Tuesday, police and hospital officials said.

Local police and hospital officials told NBC News that Malala was shot in the neck and head shortly after leaving her school in the Swat region. Doctors said they were working in an attempt to save the lives of all three girls.

Malala was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize in 2011 for a blog she wrote under a pseudonym for the BBC. She also won the National Peace Prize in Pakistan, was honored with a school named after her, and quickly became an outspoken critic of the Taliban in Pakistan and public advocate for peace.

In the blog, she chronicled life in the Swat Valley under the brutal and oppressive rule of the local faction of the Pakistani Taliban, who carried out public floggings, hung dead bodies in the streets, and banned education for girls.

In early 2011, the militants had added Malala to their hit list.

"We wanted to kill her as she was pro-West, she was speaking against Taliban and more important she was calling President Obama as her ideal. She was young but was promoting a Western culture in the Pakhtun populated areas," Ihsanullah Ihsan, the spokesman of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP said Tuesday.

The Taliban had made a plan for killing her a year ago but were waiting for an opportunity, he told NBC News.

You just don't understand towel-heads, man.

So, they wanted her dead because she wrote about how brutal they are... yeah, I can see how that would work.

[Minimalist]

Yup....

What sick, twisted mind puts a 14-year-old girl on a hit list?! For being people who belittles women and think nothing of their opinion, this gal sure got under their skin..

[zebo-the-fat]

The mighty Taliban are afraid of a 14 year old girl? How wimpy are they?
Remember, it is very important to keep your women uneducated so you can control them better

Yea this story has been posted on all the major atheist websites I hang out in in less than half an hour. I also saw it on CNN and I am damned sure it has hit twitter and youtube. I think these Taliban pricks underestimate mass media and how globally hated they are now.

Harming unarmed adults is bad enough, but all this girl wanted was peace for the world and education for girls and women.

And prick who thinks another human is property, deserves all the scorn in the world.

Sorry to come across as a barbarian here but why isn't anyone making Ihsanullah Ihsan kneel and beg for his life before slitting his throat?
Of course I'm not advocating it I'm just slightly bewildered that no locals have gone "fuck this guy" and done alittle home video of their own featuring him as the main attraction where they torture him then end his miserable life to set an example for the Taliban and show them what happens when you shoot little girls in the middle-east.

They don't care.... they just know that fucking allah loves them.
