Much of the contents of this video has been posted in the documentary on the previous thread.
I truly do not understand what this re-post is trying to clarify?
We do not deny the reasons as to why this story has made headlines.....yes, she is 'famous' for trying to raise awareness about the female education crisis in SWAT.
And yes, not all killings are revealed in the media.
Which can be compared to just about any other situation across the world.
e.g. In South Africa, Nelson Mandela is most known for his 27 year exile in prison, fighting for aparteid.
But there are many, many more unsung heroes from the past, who never have, and never will gain this recognition for their struggles in this battle.
Does this matter?
If our intentions are for the pleasure of Allah, and our return is to Him - does it matter, if ones injuries/ death is never recognised in the press?
Is it possible for media to cover each and every death?
This young girl has done more in a cause that is close to her heart, than many people who are far older.
Why does it not make sense for her story to make headlines?
Again, the fact that other fatalities have not received international coverage - does not draw away from the the tragic shooting of THIS young person.

Amazing how dry this thread is of the hypocrites that enjoy otherwise a good scandal!
I imagine that you are referring to all those who held a different view to your own on the previous thread, as 'alligator tear crowd', 'devil advocates' and 'hypocrites'.
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
The Prophet said,
“Whoever has (the following) four characters will be a hypocrite, and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy until he gives it up. These are:
(1 ) Whenever he talks, he tells a lie;
(2) whenever he makes a promise, he breaks it;
(3) whenever he makes a covenant he proves treacherous;
(4) and whenever he quarrels, he behaves impudently in an evil insulting manner.” (See Hadith No. 33 Vol. 1)
{Volume 3, Book 43, Number 639: Sahih Bukhari}
Who has fufilled the above criteria, to be called a hypocrite?
Do you feel good about calling your brothers and sisters as such, simply because they had a difference in opinion?
I personally have not resorted to this, nor have the other contributors to the other thread.
Please refrain from this.
This is not the way of muslims.
If you have a contribution to make to this thread, then do so.
These types of comments are not constructive to any discussion.
I agree with sister harb - a similiar thread has been closed by the mods. Unless, there is some new information that has come to light, or evidence that we can ponder over, I suggest the same here insha Allah.
Theres no point squabbling about an issue that is mostly based on speculations - dividing this ummah even further.
