Some of the dialogs I have heard in recent days, its not about Malala as she is innocent but she is inadvertently playing in the hands of our enemies and is out there degrading Pakistan. There is some global conspiracy against Pakistan and the west is using her for some sinister purpose. Why would the west support her so vociferously if they don't have an agenda? This discourse is being discussed in our educated circles. For Gods sake it's not her who is damaging Pakistan or Islam, the elements responsible for that are those who she is exposing. Anyways, nothing makes sense in Pakistan anymore.
If she had received the Prize, how it would have solved problems in Pakistan? The lip service she is giving to western media is not a new thing. What are these good for nothing NGOs doing for many decades by saying and repeating same things to get aids in the name of problems of Pakistan?

No it wouldnt have sorted Pakistan's problems but its always refreshing to see the conspiracy theories Pakistanis come up with every time her name is called out.

May there is a reason behind such thought. People think that she has been given extra attention.. while there are other victims of such events around the world, who don't get 1% of such attention.
Why in those cases 'raat gai baat gai' philosophy is followed?

I support her due to her role in unmasking the real face of TTP. Not many people I have seen have the courage to do that. Not even our so called leaders who dont have the moral courage to condemn the terrorists by name.
For me Malala has become the face of the 50000 victims of the war on terror. I'd want to put my weight behind those who I consider as victims instead of the oppressors.

What does this unmasking has done to the overall attitude of society? I don't see any shift in overall approach/ attitude of people of Pakistan. Those who were putting blame of everything on Taliban still do that.. Those who believe that there are other elements besides Taliban still believe that. People still have different definition of 'oppressor' and 'oppresed'.

She has no hesitance in condemning the TTP who I believe she knows about as much as you or I ... She just happens to live in the area - they are no angels, but they are not irrational animals either ... her speech about them is exaggerated and unbalanced, it comes from her father mostly and she is portraying how good she is coupled with her young age to make us believe that nothing but the truth is coming from her ... But we all know the truth is more complicated than that ... There is no black and white in this situation. TTP are a reactionary group ... they will settle if they are unprovoked. The problem is the provoking is going to continue and their reactions are portrayed as acts of self-instigated terrorism ... but they are too small to be initiating violence ... they may just want to be left alone.
I would like to ask Malala what she would think of the idea of giving control to TTP of their own area and leaving them to manage their own affairs and whether that would lead to peace or not. Or why she doesn't consider them as leaders that she would appeal to for establishing schools ... he has lived there with them, but has she spoken to them? Has her father ever spoken to them?
Not that I care, but the picture she paints is so in sync with what the media in the West want to portray and that is only reason why they support her.
She has everything to gain in this too ... We know she is the making of a politician and politicians desire power and she is not so pure of intent nor her father that her motives for power and glory are not clouding what she says. Of course she will give her point of view - but to say that is the truth - is very naive.
Malala speaking against Taliban? What courage? I thought she also favours peace dialogue with them? Errr that's not a true example of courage or is it now? I guess the definition of courage for some people have perhaps changed. Nice to see no silly Miss Taliban, Taliban apologist, closet terrorist, mulk dushman tags for her in the other thread.

There is no easy solution to the taleban problem now. It was not our war 10 years back, it IS now. If some one believes that dialog/leaving them alone (not our war mantra) would solve the problem it wont happen. In 1996 when US-USSR war ended there was a vaccum in Afghanistan which was filled up by taleban, if a similar situation arises this time around I dont see TTP settling for anything less than their own government in areas bordering Afghanistan (on the Pakistani side). No one amongst our politicians/army has a clue how to deal with the fallout.
Do you think handing over FATA and parts of KPK to taleban would bring peace there? Do you think Swat agreement led to peace?
As far as taleban are concerned, do you think one can reason with them? A few years back all schools of Punjab (especially English medium ones) were closed for a few weeks as there was a threat from taleban, as according to them they were secularizing people.
