Re: Malala comes home
let me open the can of worms…
Average Pakistani has no interest in saving West interest, hence its easy for them to get that Malala has hardly done any such service to Pakistan that she deserves to become a new “qaed e azam” of Pakistan.
Re: Malala comes home
Exactly why is she portrayed as the saviour of Pakistan
Do u know about Aitzaz Hassan he is our real Hero
PS maybe on some points Malala maybe right but not with everything i agree and lulz at the Noble prize
Re: Malala comes home
I think any political leaders or social activists that are doing any good for Pakistan in today’s age should be lifted and considered emerging “Qaed e Azams” Let’s be real here…its not like the country is brimming with them so the few that actually are tough enough to live to tell about their horrors should definitely be celebrated.
Majority of the time, the objections against Malala stem from a deep sense of inadequacy in people.
“Why should she get attention when she isn’t any better than me?” “What makes her better than anyone else?” “Why should she get any attention for being shot in the head when people die everyday?” “Why are people so obsessed with an obvious Western agent who is America’s puppet?”
The thing is, she IS better because she survived, was able to stand up on her own two feet again, spoke out against it and is living her life pursuing her educational goals. So yes, that makes her better than most because I don’t actually see many men who have to fight against cultural stereotypes to go to school. And if there are such men out there, their stories are not highlighted because its not important for the Pakistani awam to listen to them. That is not Malala’s doing.
If Malala was a hot blonde, she would have every single Pakistani mullah’s support. She would be considered a fashion icon between women and upheld as the ideal of every man out there.
Re: Malala comes home
Before she shot in head… she struggle several years (almost 4 years) for the rights of girls… This was the time when Taliban getting influence in Sawat valley… She wrote blogs for BBC under anonymous identity. She appeared on TV . She got first youth national peace prize.
Her fundamental achievement was to speak against Taliban… and did not surrender the rights of girls education.
Re: Malala comes home
I totally agree to this… also her attack was used as an excuse by westen media and governments to justify the invasion of Afghanistan like daikha hum na kahtay thy vahan zulam hota hai e.t.c… and there are hundreds of other things i can point out…the bottomline is… giving her noble peace prize was a political motivated move… she has not done anything extra ordinary… but sanu ki.. let them celebrate

This is one of the pictures circulating around saying Malala with Salman Rushdee and Tasleema Nasreen.
I’m sure many of you might have got it on whatsapp etc and could have forwarded ahead as well as a national and religious responsibility.
**Fact:
**
The Man next to Malala was not Rushdie but was Martin Schulz a president of the European Parliament. The picture was taken from an event where Malala was awarded European Union’s Sakharov human rights prize in recognition of her fight for universal and equal access to education.

And this is what Taslima Nasreen wrote about Malala:

Let me know if anyone wants the source of this comment of Taslima. Its in her blog and i dont want to share her blog here cuz I hate her for the obvious.
But yea, lets just not be the part of anti-Malala campaign to this low level atleast.
Re: Malala comes home
She is portrayed as a hero because she is one. She stood tall against the Taliban, and fought for education for girls. And took a bullet for it. So that your sisters and cousins and nieces and daughters can get access to education. Do yo not think that to be a nible and courageous stand? Why is that not deserving of a Nobel prize? Was there some politics at play. Probably.
Specifically what hat do you disagree with. And why do you say she MAY be right on some pints. Is it difficult to categorically state she is right on so,empoints if not on all points
Re: Malala comes home
To put this comment in context, it should be pointed out that you have positioned yourself as an anti liberal, anti feminist poster - I won’t bring up the third anti though it does paint a grim picture. Cheers
Re: Malala comes home
why the “to this low level at least” part. Otherwise it is ok to be part of anti Malala campaign?. And what if it was Salman Rushdie in the photo. The man has diverse views and need not be defined by just one view that may be impalatabe to many. For the most part, as a Democrat, your views are aligned with his I am sure,
Re: Malala comes home
This is a disgusting comment… but just to put this comment into context , it should be noted that you have positioned yourself as an anti-religion, pro-gay and lesbian poster … And that says a lot…majority of malala’s supporters have same views as yours lolz. Another feather in malala’s cap.
Re: Malala comes home
You gotta be kidding me… Even she was expressionless when she received her award ( see the picture )… Even i am expressionless right now writhing this comment… So no…you can’t present taslima nasreen’s “expressionless comment” over here to defend something that is undefendable.. The fact of the matter is… she did share the stage with taslima, she did shake her hand … the same hand which was used to write insulting words for Prophets… Remember imran Khan refused to share the stage with salman Rushdie? That’s how a true person responds… May be European union’s award was a bigger thing for her… Anyhow her life… her choices… so yeah let her do whatever she wants to do… but for God sake… do not try to present her as a hero lolz… Even the father of Pakistani liberals… najam sethi believes that the cause of malala is hijacked.
Re: Malala comes home
Our sisters, daughters, cousins and nieces already have access to education. Come visit our schools, universities, banks, hospitals, radio stations e t.c… women are everywhere… Even i see women working in small cities and paindhs (villages )…even there are more schools for girls than for boys in some villages now… It’s easy to talk rubbish about others sitting thousands of kilometre away.. You can not judge the whole of Pakistan just because one unfortunate malala incident… Things are not as horrible as liberals sitting outside of Pakistan assume.. malala is blowing this thing out of proportion just to get sympathies n make $$$… the whole family is greedy…and west is loving it… hope it helps LGBT supporter…
Re: Malala comes home
Thank you Prince for your kind response. I am certainly pro humanity. And that most definitely makes me pro gay and lesbian. Thank you for Implying you are anti gay and anti lesbian.
I am am most certainly not anti religion. Did you just pull that out of thin air, dear Prince? Unless by anti religion, you mean anti discrimination against gay and lesbians and other minorities?
And how how are you this fine morning?
Re: Malala comes home
Dear Prince, I certainly didn’t not imply or state that in Pakistan girls do not have access to education. Of course that would be a ridiculous statement if I made it. The your here is generic. It is applied to any person (for example yourself) who diminishes Malala’s achievement. For that person clearly does not understand her sacrifice, courage and determination in the face of grave danger. So yes, dear Prince, she sacrificed so that your sisters, cousins, nieces and daughters could have access to education. She took a bullet or two for that.
Be well, dear Prince. Remove hate from your heart. That would be the tenet of humanity. Practice that first. Then you would be obeying the rules of any religion on this earth. Kapish?
Re: Malala comes home
Different people react differently to awards presentations. You are quick to judge her because she didn’t wear the expression you expect her to while receiving an award. But you are also quick to diminish her courage and bravery.
That indicates you literally have no depth. You pay more attention to surface and unimportant issues such as expressions! While literally disregarding her achievements in the face of danger.
I hope this post leaves you expressionless, much the way while “writhing” your comment.
Re: Malala comes home
haha This is such a funny comment… It was taslima nasreen who said that malala was expressionless while shaking her hand, which means she does not like me… And our liberals thought the same… If i go by your logic… it means taslima nasreen and your beloved liberals do not have depth… they pay attention to surface and unimportant things… they are too quick to judge others lolz… malala likes taslima nasreen…thanks for reinforcing my point..
Re: Malala comes home
I have immense hate for “sins” … I just can not promote sins in the name of humanity… People are free to do whatever they want to do … but I will keep speaking up against sins… And if that makes me anti-human kind of person in the eyes of some LGBT supporters… then it’s totally fine… who cares.
Re: Malala comes home
If you calm down and read the comments carefully you’ll know its Tasleema not me not malala, who’s saying showing disgust with malala due to her expressionless face. IK is a politician and politicians fear from public’s reprehension. It doesnt mean they are who they are as well. Malala isnt a politician. She is a hero for various reasons. You dont want to count her as hero, fair enough. Your choice. But what I’m asking is not to be a part of huge anti-malala campaign which as per my calculation, roughly 70% of Pakistanis are involved in. And thats just a safe estimate. It could be more.
Re: Malala comes home
Dear Prince, I did read Sid’s post which stated Taslima was the one who made this comment. It was also clear she was liberal and not much liked by conservatives. Just because she is a liberal does not mean I have to agree with her at all times. Reading your comment, it appeared to indicate you felt the same way re her expression or lack thereof. To the extent that I may have misunderstood you, I stand corrected.
But there is a greater lesson her, dear Prince. A liberal does not have to agree with another liberal all the time. Maybe this a teaching moment for you, sir!
You didn’t answer my query - how are you this fine morning?
Re: Malala comes home
Dear Prince, you sound very much like Right wing Evangelicals in the west. You should care, dear Prince, you should.
