Nobel Peace Prize for Malala

I doubt it was your intention, but the bolded parts sound like excuses for the taliban’s behavior: That is, that Malala’s protests incited them, so she was shot (given that they are pretty barbaric).

I’m also not sure what you mean by “if we accept the hype”? What hype are you referring to?

And also do you really think that if she said what you wrote (the religious appeal to the taliban), that they would have listened and it would have suddenly dawned on them to allow girls to get educated?

Let me get this clear … When we speak and write it is important to know how to extract information properly.

Firstly, if you look at my previous posts I have been saying that Taliban should be overtaken by ground troops …

Secondly, I’m not entirely sure who the Taliban are … How can I support them or even make excuses for them if I don’t know who they are?

Thirdly, I was talking about Malala in this thread …

Now here is the logic part … So please read carefully …

There is a tiger in a cage … A sign on the cage says “do not put fingers through the wire” … Then someone does just that and gets their finger eaten … Who is responsible? The tiger? The person who wrote the note? Or the person who clearly did the opposite?

By writing the note is the person making excuses for the tiger’s action? No … It is a prediction …

ok … But the Taliban are not animals right?

fair enough …

Consider 2 children both are naughty … let’s call them Sami and Yusuf … I tell Sami not to provoke Yusuf or else Yusuf will hit him, I also tell Yusuf not provoke Sami or else Sami will hit him …

Then one day Sami is crying as Yusuf has hit him … I ask Yusuf why he hit him, Yusuf says that Sami provoked him … Now I totally hold Yusuf responsible for hitting Sami, but Sami gets blamed for provoking him … By telling Sami off for not listening to my guidance I am not making excuses for Yusuf … That is another matter.

This argument is the one of action …

The action of Malala was wrongly phrased … If she wanted to provoke them then achieved that, but if she wanted to ask for a school then she could have said it nicely … Unfortunately for her, but she knew this in advance anyway, she became a target due to her provocation.

By saying she is wrong I am NOT saying they were right … Please think less in binary mode … Even the statement of Bush was wrong … “You are either with us or with the terrorists” … This means he has ruled out the third option … “Not with either of them” …

The fact is that Shamraz knows my position but when he can’t argue with me … He starts off this Taliban sympathiser response in his attempt to get me angry …
