Lanat hai. http://news.yahoo.com/pakistani-girl-spoke-against-taliban-shot-wounded-095818763.html Hope she survives. Kudos to her for fighting the besharam mardaan govt and men. Shame on the people who are silent about this crime.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Taliban gunmen in Pakistan shot and seriously wounded on Tuesday a 14-year-old schoolgirl who rose to fame for speaking out against the militants, authorities said. Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head and neck when gunmen fired on her school bus in the Swat valley, northwest of the capital, Islamabad. Two other girls were also wounded, police said. Yousufzai became famous for speaking out against the Pakistani Taliban at a time when even the government seemed to be appeasing the hardline Islamists

Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said his group was behind the shooting. She was pro-West, she was speaking against Taliban and she was calling President Obama her idol, Ehsan said by telephone from an undisclosed location. Hailing from Mingora, the 14-year-old Yousufzai struggled for restoring peace in Swat and education for girls in the region for which she was awarded the National Peace Award by former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. When the Taliban had banned education for females in the district, she kept a diary for the British Broadcasting Corporation and wrote about the misdeeds of militants. :hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff:

These cowards afraid of a 14 year old girl who only spoke for peace and girls education... Sums-up their mentality and blatantly expose their 'culture' and 'system' they want to impose... Her remarkable story made the whole nation proud last year when she won Peace award but today terrible terrible news this for whole nation... She not yet out of danger :(( May Allah bless and save her life...

Amazing courage for a 14 year old girl :hatsoff: Faced with a similar situation how many of us would have the guts to do what she did? Its so unfortunate when I hear many Pakistanis (especially the less educated ones) talk in favor of Taliban. I hope this incident changes the opinion among some of them atleast.

Sometimes kids can do brave things because they are yet to learn fear that adults are already infected with.

Malala Yousufzai sok daa? http://dawn.com/2012/10/10/malala-yousufzai-sok-daa/

This is not the first time in Pakistan that a bus was stopped and civilians were removed and shot at. The only difference is that those killed on the roadside in the past were Shias. For years, Taliban and their sympathizers have stopped buses along the Tal-Parachinar Road and removed Shia passengers to either murder or kidnap them for ransom. Recently, Taliban and their sympathisers have executed several dozen Shias in Quetta and Gilgit-Baltistan region after removing them from buses. Why is that the State and the society have largely remained silent on the wanton murder of the Shias and other religious minorities in Pakistan. Why is that Imran Khan, Jamat-i-Islami or other religious outfits in Pakistan have never embarked on a long march for the plight of Shias and other victims of sectarian violence. I would argue that had the State and the society acted with resolve against sectarian violence in the past, the extremists would not have felt so invincible as to target an unarmed 14-year old girl in broad daylight.
Scary sight. These are the times, I feel partition was a good idea, whatever happened , it did for the best. Iss jhamele se hum tho bachgaye!

If the adults were brave enough to stand up' date=' she could be in school instead of the hospital.[/quote'] You think they would stand and watch them help her? They all would end up in the hospital.
