malala's daddy on ted...

Ziauddin Yousafzai: My daughter, Malala | Talk Video | TED

Re: malala dady on ted…

He trained her well.

Re: malala dady on ted…

Yes, Malala the puppet and hater of Pakistan.. How dare she talk against the Taliban and campaign for girls to go to school :rolleyes:

Re: malala dady on ted…

^ Do you also have a sixth sense? One that makes you see stuff that only you can see and read?

Re: malala dady on ted…

“People ask me what special is in my mentorship which has made Malala so bold and so courageous and so vocal and poised. I tell them don’t ask me what I did. Ask me what I did not do. I did not clip her wings and that’s all.”

So true, and such a positive, awe-inspiring figure Malala Yousufzai’s dad himself is, truly worthy of being called Malala’s father. Clearly, he was not born with a silver spoon–even his own sisters couldn’t go to school. And yet he not only recognized and valued the emancipatory power of education for girls but also didn’t transfer some of the societal hang-ups that could have prevented Malala from speaking out for the inalienable right of girls’ education and becoming what she has: a symbol of bravery and an icon for universal education.

Re: malala dady on ted…

I don’t understand the defensiveness that comes from the Right. Good for Malala. Good for her father.

I have seen threads here belittling the girl. It is nothing to do with sixth sense.

Re: malala dady on ted…

We are talking about this thread right now. Not other threads or past discussions.

Re: malala dady on ted…

OK. If only it were true that we all see each thread in isolation.

Re: malala dady on ted…

Southie, that is not what I meant. Clearly there was no reason in this thread to defensively comment the way Deeba did, just out of the blue.
Also the only defensive comment was by Deeba, and not by so called ‘right’ wing people that only you seem to be having seen.

Re: malala dady on ted…

No Le, the left is the new ‘right’. So they have the advantage of saying anything under lefts facade and get away with that too.

Re: malala dady on ted…

Le of late you have been going after her on almost every issue. And that’s fine. But let’s call a spade a spade.

To me Deebas comment didn’t come from vacuum. There is a history to the Malala.issue. and one poster (one of my favorites) did indicate she has been “trained” well by her father. I am sure it was an innocent comment. And it was seen only by Deeba and me. Come on Le.

Re: malala dady on ted…

If there is something I disagree with I will comment on it. Regardless of whom it is. Everyone here does.
I don’t know where you have seen me running behind Deeba on every issue. Seriously, Na kar.

To me it did come out of nowhere, because again there was no reason to defensively comment the way she did. Had one of the previous posters given her a motive for it, then I would have understood. But there was no such a comment that triggered her attack modus.

The last Malala thread was months ago, so it’s totally irrelevant to bring that in. Weak justification.

As for the comment ‘he trained her well’, that again is up to the other how you interpret it. If you are constantly ready for attack on every issue, ofcourse you are going to make an issue out of it.

Re: malala dady on ted…

if people could remove their 1 foot eye lashes and have a look around, that would be great.

Re: malala dady on ted…

Re ur seriously na kar comment I will comment when I see a pattern..seriously, na bol.

Re blur comment abt interpretation u got it. We all interpret per our perspective. One can use the same logic wrt to in this case u. If u are constantly looking to be defensive abt a subject u will always find a way to be so.

One clarification. I didn’t saw Right Wing. To me that segment is the pits. I simply used the Right. Which is anything to right of center. I certainly don’t consider u and several others here right wing. It was my fault I wasn’t ckear. Just wanted to get it out of the way.

Re: malala dady on ted…

:k:

le, what is your opinion of the whole malala thing(i just want to know)

Re: malala dady on ted…

no biggie.

Re: malala dady on ted…

I really don’t want to derail this thread because of your paranoid observations. So why don’t you make a list of how I have been after her on every other issue, and then you can take proper action against it if you want to.

Yes, I agree we all interpret it as per our own perspective. However, that doesnt justify our interpretation/actions and it doesnt mean we are right.

Re: malala dady on ted…

i guess we really dont value life and it’s basic rights in pakistan :cb:

Re: malala dady on ted…

Oh well. We don’t. But the malala thing is like within 10th percentile, at max, of the total problems scale. Its sad what happened to her, but turning a blind eye to billion other things just because the goray didnt make a lot of noise on thos issue… isn’t really intelligent.

What I suggest is, for people to try and find other stories/issues, much much greater than this malala thing. That would show that they have a brain for themselves, rather than chewing same thing again and again and again which media provides them.

Damn!!! That was a long post. Useless too. My apologies. :flower1:

Re: malala dady on ted…

now, here’s something worth pondering over. but still, we can’t ignore one issue because we OURSELVES refuse to acknowledge the others or create hype. “goras” will pick up what suits them, where is our sensibility as a people? we ourselves can’t take a stand and try to make a change and when somebody does that with something we attack that too. because really, we all know…no one really cares about a middle-lower class girls’ education in pak and many would rather they not gain international media attention.
