Malala Yousafzai: 14-year-old Pakistani activist shot

[glo]

Gunmen have wounded a 14-year-old rights activist who has campaigned for girls' education in the Swat Valley in north-west Pakistan.

Malala Yousafzai was attacked on her way home from school in Mingora, the region's main town.

[...]

Malala Yousafzai was just 11 when she was writing her diary, two years after the Taliban took over the Swat Valley, and ordered girls' schools to close.

In the diary, which she kept for the BBC's Urdu service under a pen name, she exposed the suffering caused by the militants as they ruled.

Update:

Surgeons have removed a bullet from the head of a 14-year-old girl, a day after she was shot by Taliban gunmen in north-western Pakistan's Swat Valley.

I pray that Malala makes a full recovery. Head injuries can be very unpredictable ...

The first article I posted said this:

A Pakistani Taliban spokesman told the BBC they carried out the attack.

Ehsanullah Ehsan told BBC Urdu that they attacked her because she was anti-Taliban and secular, adding that she would not be spared.

I have to say that I have not looked for other sources. If I have time, I will.

There is nothing like Taliban trust me.If you want to know the real story of Taliban,you need to watch the interviews taken during the peace march of Imran Khan.Malala and all effecties like that are targeted through a policy.There is no Taliban nor they kill innocent people.

Why would the police shoot Malala?

Are you saying that the Taliban does not exist at all and is just an invention of the media or other people? Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

Would love to see this interview you mentioned, if you have a link.

It means we'd like to see the Taliban release a statement over the incident not just take the usual op-ed ergo BBC and co.

It deeply grieved me to read about her. May Allah protect her!

Speaking to Dawn.com’s correspondent Zahir Shah Sherazi from an undisclosed location, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said that the TTP accepts responsibility of the attack as Malala was propagating anti-Taliban and ‘secular’ thoughts among the youth of the area.

This is pakistan's taliban not Afghanistan!

 

[sister herb]

I think nobody has wrote about Afghanistan´s Taliban but all the time only Pakistan´s in this thread. I don´t know which one exist and which doesn´t.

Anyway; may Allah helps this girl.

 

[Masuma]

YA ALLAH!
I don't know. As a nation I find the people of Pak really confused. Whether TTP exists or not, if yes then for what purposes and why would it go against the teachings of ISLAM, if that is what it stood for?!

Al-Quran: Chapter 5, Verse 32

"...If anyone takes the life of an innocent―unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land― it would be as if he killed the whole humanity: and if anyone saved a life of an innocent it would be as if he saved the life of the whole of humanity..."

The pigs who attack innocent children and women are no different than those American Zionists who bombard innocent people with drones. I hate both! Both are worst in the eyes of Islam no matter what they call themselves!

I also raised a point that someone else might be claiming responsibility in Taliban's stead but people argued that if that would have been the case, the Tehreek-e-Taliban PAKISTAN would have negated it in their formal statement. But they didn't! And that is the source given above.

Some say that Tehreek-e-Taliban PAKISTAN (TTP) is actually black water. Others say that no, such attacks are done by CIA/Raw etc. I don't know what to believe in...!

best,

This I was wondering too. Some people say it is all a political game to distract the concentration away from the "drone attacks" issue.

 

[Masuma]

This is pakistan's taliban not Afghanistan!

Yes!
That's what makes it more confusing. Afghani Talibans stand for freedom. they want America and Nato and other invaders out of their country. I don't think there is any wrong with this! Why shouldn't they be free if they were born free?!

and then there is this TTP?! Hell with it! I don't know why would it keep killing the innocent people of pakistan. May Allah's wrath be upon them for killing innocents! I see them no different than the Zionist pigs!

Now , i also read once that afghani Taliban don't approve TTP and have dissolved their relation with them?! but i need solid proof. I don't know what's happening in here :/

I don't know anything about Pakistan or its Taliban, I thought this occurred in Afghanistan as part of the propaganda machine so close to elections. Which this too can be one of, who knows Allah a3lam. I just know how perfectly contrived everything is as comes out of western media.. Unless of course it says something about agents of NATO in Libya in which case it is conspiracy theory then.

 

[Masuma]

You know me either!
Why aren't we getting this clear once and for all?! What are these TTP? And if Afghani Taliban support TTP too, then I'm against them too in this regard.
No this incident happened in Pakistan sis.

And you know what's sad? The TTP are threatening over the media that we would attack her again if we get a chance! ASTAGHFIRULLAH! YA Allah! Destroy them!

Look how they justified themselves?!

Al-Quran: Chapter 5, Verse 32

"...If anyone takes the life of an innocent―unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land― it would be as if he killed the whole humanity: and if anyone saved a life of an innocent it would be as if he saved the life of the whole of humanity..."

Did they take Malala's outspoken courage and the bravery to stand up for truth "as spreading mischief in the land"?! Those retards have no fear of Allah. THEY ARE NOT MUSLIMS!!! No Muslim with fear of Allah in their heart would attack an innocent child or a female!

Now how to know whether TTP is CIA or Black water in actuality? I have NO IDEA... !

It wasn't the police.There are some agencies working and making the way of drone attacks firm in this area.According to the interviews of tribal people,there are no Taliban nor terrorist neither they kill people or harm them.In tribal system,all the people of valley are known to each other and there is no stranger.Drones keep killing innocent people and the paid people of these agencies attack people in the name of Taliban to give reason to drones.There are thousands of women in tribal areas having education without any fear,why don't Taliban kill them?And who those agencies are paid by?Indian currency and American dollar might answer this question.

As youtube has been blocked over here,it will be difficult for me to find the interviews but i'll try searching them for you.

Inna Lillahi wa inna aliyehi raji3oon!

Now read this! This is how TTP justifying their attack on an innocent child!

They are saying that there is a story in Quran when Hazrat Khizer and Hazrat Musa (a.s) were travelling together and came across a youth. Hazrat Khizer killed that youth and said that this child was a pain to his children and would have been much trouble to his parents in future. Now Allah would bestow the parents with a loyal child. Surah Kahf

"TTP is vomiting that as Hazrat Khizer killed a child who would have been a trouble for the parents and who was a bad person i the sght of Allah, same has we done with Malala who is also an ignorant person. Now Allah would give her parents a good, obedient child"

Astaghfirullah!

See how they are twisting the words of Quran?! How they are giving their own interpretations to support their grievous crime just like the Jews and Christains twisted the Holy words of their books for their benefit?! I think it is not long enough now that Allah's curse would descend upon them too just like it descended upon those past nations. I think their end is near now inshAllah!

They also gave their own silly interpretation on one more incident.
They say that at Prophet's time, one blind companion of the Prophet killed his wife so in the same way we are justified in killing Malala!

Don't they know that that woman used to constantly slander the Prophet and would write things against him repeatedly! She wouldn't stop and denied all common sense and sanity! That is why she was warned and when she still didn't stop, the companion took that step.

Whatever it is, nothing justifies the killing of an innocent child!

 

[Banu_Hashim]

The Pakistani Taliban and Afghani Taliban are two different groups (although they are the same ethnic people and hold similar interpretations of Islam in certain aspects). It is the Pakistani Taliban that is held to have reportedly carried out the attacks. They have released a statement, and have said that she will be targeted again and that she is 'western minded'. All she did was write a blog for the BBC Urdu service, championing education for girls in her area. I know this kind of ideology exists with these type of people from personal experience.

I am just grateful that this brave little girl has survived the attack and is on her way to making a recovery alhamdulillah. May Allah protect her and all our young Muslim sisters and daughters who seek true Islam and by it, liberation. Ameen.

Assalamu-alaikum,

From the Al-Jazeera article that has been quoted above:

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Ehsanullah Ehsan, a Pakistani Taliban spokesperson, said the group had repeatedly warned Yousafzai to stop speaking out against them.

"She is a Western-minded girl. She always speaks against us," he said by telephone from an undisclosed location.

"We will target anyone who speaks against the Taliban.

"We warned her several times to stop speaking against the Taliban and to stop supporting Western non-governmental organisations, and to come to the path of Islam."

Taliban's justification

The Taliban said it was not only "allowed" to target young girls, but it was "obligatory" when such a person "leads a campaign against Islam and sharia".

The spokesman also referred to the Quranic story of Hazrat Khizar, who killed a young child, justifying it to Prophet Musa (Moses in other religions), by saying the boy would overburden his pious parents with his disobedience, and that God would "replace" the boy with a more obedient son.

Ehsan said that the Pakistani Taliban had not banned education for girls, "instead, our crime is that we tried to bring the education system for both boy and girls under Islamic law.

"We are deadly against co-education and secular education systems, and Sharia orders us to be against it".

The group also criticised media coverage of the shooting, saying: "After this incident, [the] media poured out all of its smelly propaganda against Taliban mujahideen with their poisonous tongues.

" [...] will the blind media pay any attention to the hundreds of respectful sisters whom are in the secret detention centres of ISI [Pakistan's spy agency] and suffering by their captivity?

"Would you like to put an eye on more than 3,000 young men killed in secret detention centres, whose bodies are found in different areas of Swat, claimed to be killed in encounters and died by cardiac arrest?"

​

Please watch this video to gain better insight into this situation.

My heart breaks at this story.....and the suffering caused by the hands of our own muslim brothers.....in the name of Islam!
Astaghfirullah.
