A wonderful young lady. I begrudge her nothing.

Some say it's brave to defy the Taliban.
Others (me included)say it's stupid to stand in front of a religious nutjob who has a loaded gun. The girl got lucky. She was shot in the head and survived. Under normal circumstances she'd be dead, and no more would have been heard of her after a week. |

11 Oct 14 12:14 The world would be a nicer place with more people like her. Standing up to the Bullies , good on her! There's a marked difference between standing up to a bully, like you would in a shcool playground, and agitating a nutter with a gun, when you're not armed. Would you do what she did? I wouldn't. I'd sooner pick off the nutter with a rifle, like a sniper, from a safe distance. He won't bully any more, and I'd be injury free. |

How does standing up to a bully promote peace?
It's like giving the peace prize to the American air force for bombing North Vietnam. Or giving it to the Israelis for invading Palestine and standing up to Hamas and its rockets. Give her an award by all means but make it a meaningful one. |

I think all the seethers are missing a point. You are directing your venom at an extremely brave young lady...far braver I would bet than any of them. The fact that you are "sick of hearing about her" is not HER fault. She simply wanted to go to school and she saw this as her right. I have no doubt whatsoever that she was fully aware of the danger that this incurred. She was assassinated for it. Shot in the head. The fact that she didn't die was pure fluke. She was not supposed to survive. And now, after surgery, she is still attempting to highlight the problems that we, as western males, cannot even imagine. Living your entire life locked away in a back room, simply to cook and have children. As for your references to her comments on western women I would suggest that her opinion can only have been formed from her short experiences in this country. Have you stopped to consider that she might not be referring European women? There are a hell of a lot (I believe) of young girls in this country who are not treated as equals. I refer, of course, to ancient customs that some of our immigrant population want to continue that are directly opposed to our Western ideals. Save your nasty remarks for the various media, for it is they who you should condemn, NOT this innocent girl! i have not read one nasty comment posted on here you clown |

She wasn't brave, she was stupid and naive, and nearly paid with her life because of it,in fact she's incredibly lucky to even be here, if she was brave she'd be living in Pakistan, but she lives in Birmingham, which is like being at home but without the Taliban, truly selfless and noble people don't collect wards anyway. Having said that, she will be an asset to the country, unlikely to end up claiming.

Howdi crawl back to under the stone you emerged from.You started this nasty thread and are quite obviously an inadequate individual unable to accept the achievement of a girl who has more courage in her little finger than you have in your entire body. Your snide remarks are shameful.

Can someone tell me what the lass has actually achieved except fame for herself?
MINGORA, Pakistan, Oct 11 (Reuters) - In the hometown of Nobel prize winner Malala Yousafzai, the students at the government-run Girls' High School Mingora sit cross-legged on sacks and sheets on the floor because there is not enough furniture. The windows are broken, the walls dirty, and the teachers angry. Their anger is not directed at Malala herself, they say, but at a world that lavishes attention on her while ignoring the neglect and violence in her home of Swat Valley. "It's all Malala, Malala, Malala," complained mathematics teacher Saima Khan. "There are hundreds of people who have sacrificed everything and lost everything. No one has given them anything." At a cake-cutting ceremony on Saturday, politicians carrying posters of Malala jostled for space with civil society activists before marching to the press club along potholed streets piled high with rubbish. Many residents looked askance at the procession, pointing out that even as leaders paid lip service to Malala's education drive, they were allowing schools in her hometown to crumble under government neglect and continued military occupation. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-2789209/Malala-lightning-rod-anger-neglect-hometown.html Anyone? |

Well, I think they need to take it up with their 'leaders'. Don't you?

By:
I suppose they could always give her the job of Prime Minister. I think that would certainly help to bring about improvements.

Truly remarkable young woman of immense courage. Fully deserved the award. An inspiration to us all.

By:

Crippen my argument isn't with you it is with the betfair community village idiot Howdi who has posted 24000 times in the past 10 years and judging by the titles of those he has started I doubt if any of them are of any value whatsoever.If the effing twit is fed up of seeing her on the news (and to be honest i've only seen her once in the past couple of days) then all he has to do is switch off the tv.I am angry at the way he phrased the original post of this thread which was an invitation to others to join in criticising/abusing her because she's from the sub continent. |

That's fine Ovalman, but what did she achieve for what she was standing up for?
According to that article I posted nothing tangible has come out of her efforts. |

Perhaps posy will show us where Howdi said this. |

To be fair to the wee lassie ,she did not have much choice in this,stay in a sh!tehole where extreme muslim philosophy was being taught in schools or come to birmingham where!
Extreme muslim philosophy was trying to be taught in schools innitt. |

By:
It isn't just taught in schools. It's their whole way of life. Their society is dominated by the attitude that men are supreme and women are simply a possession for the purpose of cleaning, cooking and bearing children. They spend their lives locked away and not allowed to go out. This rule is occasionally relaxed, but they must be accompanied by a male chaperone.
They are not allowed out because the sight of them might fill the males with sinful desires. You'd think they would lock the bloody fellas up! THEY are the problem. And seeing as these girls/women are going to spend the rest of their existence locked away...then there is no need for them to go to school. What would they need to know? That's what she is fighting against. Their whole male-dominated society! She is fighting against attitudes that lead to abuse of young girls. |

By:
A little Muslim girl has shown extremist Muslims up. So they believe that young girls should have their heads blown off for wanting to be educated.
Maybe they fear that they will work out how to break the shackles of use and abuse they have been subject to. Muslim world would be a better place if it had more women in positions of power. |
|
By:
I'm not really bothered about her or her campaign.
The celebrity-loving media really love to build her up as if her making a few speeches in the West is going to make much of a difference in Pakistan or Afghanistan or wherever muslim fanatics are in control. |

Their society is dominated by the attitude that men are supreme and women are simply a possession for the purpose of cleaning, cooking and bearing children. What's wrong with that?  They spend their lives locked away and not allowed to go out. This rule is occasionally relaxed, but they must be accompanied by a male chaperone. They are not allowed out because the sight of them might fill the males with sinful desires. You'd think they would lock the bloody fellas up! THEY are the problem. They certainly are in Rotherham, Middlesbro', Leeds, Bradford and Oxford. And seeing as these girls/women are going to spend the rest of their existence locked away...then there is no need for them to go to school. What would they need to know? How to cook, clean and have babies  That's what she is fighting against. Their whole male-dominated society! She is fighting against attitudes that lead to abuse of young girls. Now she can fight from the safety of Birmingham. As for the abuse of young girls, she's safe now, over here they only go for white girls, so it's obviously racist abuse. I bet posy won't like that comment, seeing as how he/she thinks Howdi was racist. |

The Muslim world will catch up in the way they treat women ,about 100 years behind civilised western cultures. Put down for so long yet many will have so much to offer. Controling ,soft Muslim men are going to have stand on there own 2 feet without being able to mistreat their wives.
