Shot Malala Yousafzai recovering

Shot Malala Yousafzai recovering
I was just listening to an interview with Malala Yousafzai, the muslim girl shot in the head by the taliban. She has just had a 5 hour operation and is recovering well. She gave thanks to god and all the people who prayed for her... no mention of the skills of the doctors who saved her life.

While I am glad she is recovering, I think her thanks are misplaced
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

I agree, I am proud of her for standing up for women's rights, but that same Allah watched and did nothing when she got shot. The doctors did do something.

The world was outraged and hopefully like the rapes in India, there will be more growing outrages among the women of the world.

Give the girl a break, she was raised in that nonsense. Here's the statement.

Fair comment, I just heard it on the radio and got myself angry.

I wasn't blaming her, I was attacking the logic people use in times of trauma in regards to a god claim. I think she is a super brave girl.

How come her fucking "god" let her get shot in the first place?

Exactly, here in the states we had a hostage standoff where a PTSD former soldier, Nam vet if I am correct, hijacked a school bus, murdered the driver and kidnapped a autistic kid and ended up on his property in an underground bunker with the kid hostage, last week it started. The standoff ended yesterday, the kid is ok.

BUT, clip after clip in the news had pastors and society members saying "We are praying for the kid", and then after he was rescued "Thank god"

I am like WHAT THE FUCK, what about the school bus driver who was murdered?

No one is attacking Malala personally and we are happy she survived, just like the autistic kid held hostage. But the logic sucks as to why these people want to claim a god is involved. It simply makes no sense.

A little girl who doesn't know any better can't really be blamed for much, it's the grown sports people who say the same thing after they've won a game that really piss me off with this logic.

That's why I can't stand it when Lionel Messi scores a goal.
