Taliban shoot 14-year old Pakistani peace campaigner - Yahoo! News

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.
The government agreed to a ceasefire with the Taliban in Swat in early 2009, effectively recognizing insurgent control of the valley whose lakes and mountains had long been a tourist attraction.
The Taliban set up courts, executed residents and closed girls' schools, including the one that Yousufzai attended. A documentary team filmed her weeping as she explained her ambition to be a doctor.
"My friend came to me and said, 'for God's sake, answer me honestly, is our school going to be attacked by the Taliban?'," Yousufzai, then 11, wrote in a blog published by the BBC.
"During the morning assembly we were told not to wear colorful clothes as the Taliban would object."
The army launched an offensive and retook control of Swat later that year, and Yousufzai later received the country's highest civilian award. She was also nominated for international awards for child activists.
Since then, she has received numerous threats. On Tuesday, gunmen arrived at her school and asked for her by name, witnesses told police. Yousufzai was shot when she came out of class and went to a bus.
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.
"She was young but she was promoting Western culture in Pashtun areas," he said, referring the main ethnic group in northwest Pakistan and southern and eastern Afghanistan. Most members of the Taliban come from conservative Pashtun tribes.
Doctors were struggling to save Yousufzai, said Lal Noor, a doctor at the Saidu Sharif Teaching Hospital in the Swat valley's main town of Mingora.

I hear the Trannyban decided that it would not be a sin against Salami, to murder children for giving them bad PR.

God the bravery of these Men knows no bounds ... Fucktards ...

Every time I think my utter contempt for these arsewipes could go no lower.

They prove me wrong again.

Those talibans sounds like the Texas equivalent of American rednecks,

quite a few like them in the US,

Using kids in the front line of the properganda war How low is that

Certainly speaks volumes about the moral compass of these idiots that they think shooting a 14-year old girl in the head is acceptable because she wants an education.

^ Not true.

AHORE: Protests against the barbaric attack on education and peace icon Malala Yousufzai and prayers for her recovery were held across the city on Thursday.

Political and religious parties, non-government organisations and civil society members held protest rallies against Tuesday’s Taliban attack on Malala whereas special prayers were arranged by schools, colleges, mosques, churches and public and private departments.

Leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and National Peace Committee for Interfaith Harmony Chairman Yousuf Awan condemned the attack on Malala as an “anti-Islamic” act.

He said that the Taliban are destroying the image of Islam through such cowardly acts, adding that they have been conspiring against Pakistan just for money.

Awan said that sympathisers of the Taliban are equally responsible for “sins” of the terrorists.

Workers of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) also staged a protest in Saddar, Cantt.

Led by Farooq Chishti, protesters shouted anti-Taliban slogans and were carrying a banner reading, “We want our daughters to be like Malala”.

Are you Muslim loving massacre apologist trying in some way to say the token few muslims who do find this totally abhorrent to the protests that occurred due to the porinting of a fcuking cartoon and a shite film ?
Funny because when I watched the news or read the newspapers they were full of hate filled Muslims burning and killing in protests around the world. I haven't watched a news report or read any of my National papers that have had anything like the other protests. yet you suggest I Google and search for them
You need some fcuking help friend serious help !

What does that mean? The words are recognizable but it's written in some kind of tabloidese which I'm not familiar with.

Well, if you want to have an informed opinion it might be an idea. If, on the other hand, you're happy to wallow in the stinking cesspool of your own ignorance and stupidity, don't bother.

This is just what is needed - just replace anything he says about Nazis, Germans and uniforms with Mooslims, Arabs and Turbans!

^ Doing your best to keep those national stereotypes alive, eh. Good work.

I didn't have to search fcuking Google to see millions of raghead Muslims burning, rioting and killing over what amounts to nothing against a few Muslims in Pakistan where I have to be reading a Pakistani press release to find a few people that are upset about the SHOOTING IN THE HEAD OF A SCHOOLGIRL IN THE NAME OF ALLAH !
Where are all the protest in London NY Berlin Paris etc Why isn't the main stream news network ablaze with protest like over the cartoon or the film ?
ANSWER
BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS SUPPORT THE SHOOTING OF THIS GIRL !

THE MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS SUPPORT THE SHOOTING OF THIS GIRL !

What can you say to something as wildly stupid as that?

Quite. The protests against this senseless shooting have been all over the news on TV. No need to Google anything.

it seems that the western media is the cupid here,

advertising in great length the revolts when it is about a cartoon, and not advertising the revolts when there is a real tragedy

Seems like nobody wants to ask the real question about using kids as a human shield

^ Perhaps you should put on your reading glasses.

.

So for the past few days I have been reading the same news sites that I read everyday. When the film was released everyone had news of riots, burning of buildings, killings and general destruction in London, NY, Paris, Berlin etc. On the major news programs I watch the same. Yet since this little girl was shot NOTHING !
Granted there may have been a few protest in Pakistan and were widely covered by the Pakistani press but my argument still stands.
how can a cartoon printed in a paper result in worldwide protests and the shooting of a little girl that just wanted to go to school in the name of Allah results in nothing of significance.
Where are the protests in London. NY, Paris,Berlin etc ?
There aren't any as Muslim people are more offended by a cartoon of their prophet than they are of a little girl being shot in the head.
If this offended them as it should then the protests around the world would make the cartoon and film protests look like smallfry demonstrations
THEY DIDN'T BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY !
Just how people on here can try to justify in any way shape or form the shooting of this girls beats the fcuk out of me.
Everyone no matter what their religion should be sickened by this but they aren't

I haven't noticed anybody trying to justify this shooting . I think that maybe you are getting mixed up with people not agreeing to be bigoted & racist like yourself . As for what I have posted , well do you think that this young girl has been used as a human shield by shady cowards that have been using her to fight against the Taliban beliefs ?

It is through small shit for brains racist gob shites like yourself that cause the hate that make these things happen . If you want to judge people then take a good look at yourself you racist muppet

Just what the fcuk is bigoted and racist about thinking that any person who shoots a fcuking schoolgirl in the name of their religion. it is kunts like you trying to justify it that is the problem.
You and the others here are trying to defend the indefensible
No of you fcukers has answered the question
WHERE ARE ALL THE PROTESTS FROM MUSLIMS AGAINST THIS HORRIFIC ACT ?
and I mean protests on par with those for the cartoon and the film
THERE AREN'T ANY
WHY ?
