Malala Yousafzai: 14-year-old Pakistani activist shot

[Snowflake]

O Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, Al Hayyul Qayyum, we beseech You to grant our sister a full and speedy recovery. Ameen.

@Glo.Taliban means students (of Islamic knowledge in this case). I hope you know that Islam prohibits taking a life, except where shariah rulings dictate and which can only be prescribed by an islamic judge - and in which case does not apply here. This means real students of islamic knowledge would not commit such crimes - only those who are passing themselves of as taliban could.

Another interesting thing to think about is why the freedom warriors who are fighting with so called Super power with small army and armament have to be afraid of a tiny School girl?Majority of people might unaware that there was a plan of a mighty operation clean up against those so called Taliban (innocent tribal people,women and children) in Waziristan but because of a very strict response from people and other political parties,they had to post pond it.Now that the information minister has announced the target killer arrived from Waziristan,we all need to pray for innocent tribal people along with Malala.

Taliban in Afghanistan did prohibit women from going out to schools cuz they stated it was times of war and education was not laazim o malzoom in such circumstances.

According to my knowledge,they only prohibit Co-education specially in the field of medicine for some time and they announced they will soon open separate universities for women so that Afghan ladies will be allowed to get education in a more safe envoirment.

 

[Samiun]

saw it on the news last night, terrible :|. Very brave person MashAllah, it inspires me to think such person would risk their lives trying to study and educating themselves.. Mind Baffling!

True, but at least this is unintentional killing rather than intentional killings by the taliban. Certainly more justifiable from a moral standpoint but horrible nonetheless.

:haha: you made a funny.

Assalamu-alaikum,

If you watch the video that I have posted earlier, it appears that Female-Only Schools are targetted as well.......in fact, this is what Malala and others have been protesting about.

 

[Endymion]

Sister,they were not targeted coz they were girl's schools but because there enemies were hiding over there at that time and they target them.Unfortunately,media all around the world is exploiting stories that proves Taliban uneducated brutal warriors but if you want to see their real face and their behaviour with women,you need to see what happened with Youvnne Riddley.

And now back to Pakistan:


Pakistan teen activist in critical condition

Malala Yousafzai, a 14-year-old girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban, has been airlifted to Rawalpindi.
Last Modified: 11 Oct 2012 11:55

Pakistani officials have moved an injured teenage rights activist to the city of Rawalpindi for further treatment after she was shot in the head in the northwestern Swat Valley.

Al Jazeera's Hameedullah Khan, reporting from Pakistan, said on Thursday that Malala Yousafzai, a 14-year-old schoolgirl campaigning for girls' education, was in a critical condition. According to doctors, the next 24 hours were very crucial for her survival.

"Her condition is not yet out of danger despite improvement. She is being shifted to Rawalpindi," Masood Kausar, the governor of the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, told reporters.

Earlier, one of her doctors, Mumtaz Khan, said that Yousafzai had improved since the bullet was removed in an operation on Wednesday but she was still seriously ill.

"She has been put on a ventilator for two days. The bullet has affected some part of the brain, but there is a 70 percent chance that she will survive," he said.

Mehmoodul Hasan, one of Malala's relatives, said the family had been told doctors were sending her medical reports abroad for advice.

She's clearly talking about the Taliban in Afghanistan. We've a sister here who herself is also a Medical Doctor who stated that she used to go to school in army cars for protection. What's the point of that? Sob7an Allah
One needs to live in a war torn country that's under siege whose dead get urinated on, whose women get killed in the night while sleeping and whose body parts are stolen for souvenirs to understand the severity of just what that means!

The Afghan president is already the biggest agent to the west, Taliban is in fact all the resistance they have even if they make mistakes as all humans do, don't go posting or believing everything you see against them. It is a war after all, a successful one would be to make inside folks that they're evil personified. But you know what the more they drone, the more they kill the more they malign the more regular 'freedom lovin' folks' join them.

I can't claim to know anything about the Pakistani Taliban but I give every sensational story like this a few sources before I jump on the brave girl band wagon.. BTW why am I not hearing nor seeing the names of the brave people who are targeted every day through drones or are they not people too with families?

Assalamu-alaikum,

Please explain why a 12-year old girl would take up a campaign for the right to education? (Google her on You-tube to see more of her history.)
Has she been fabricating the situation that she and other girls are facing?

Who are the 'enemies' hiding in the schools......that none but the Taliban appear to be concerned about?
The actual school-goers and parents of the kids who attend these very schools make no mention about them.
Why is this?

Why would a young girl be actively targetted and shot in such a brutal manner? (Was Ehsanullah Ehsan, the Pakistani Taliban spokesperson lying when they claimed responsibilty for the attack?)
How can this be Islamically justified?

Yvonne Ridley was captured and released by the Afghani Tabliban......which is very different to TTP.

Can someone provide some evidence to their claims against the above?

JazakAllah khayrun

I can think of many reasons- can't you? Do you know many 12 year old girls who get this level of publicity or take man sized campaigns all by their lonesome especially in a very conservative country like Pakistan? Maybe the case is as described but I have my doubts!

 

[glo]

I hope you know that Islam prohibits taking a life. This means real students of islamic knowledge would not commit such crimes - only those who are passing themselves of as taliban could.

Yes, I am aware that Islam prohibits taking life.
Which is why it seems so shocking to think that this has happened - and all because a young girl followed her desire to learn and get an education.

I didn't start the thread to criticise Islam, but to criticise those who committed this crime.

Thank you, sister harb, for reminding us that amongst all our political and theological discussions, there is still a young girl, brutally shot and in a serious condition!

Continuing to pray for the full recovery and safety of Malala.

Wrong conclusion but im not surprised you and others descend upon this conclusion in spite of i keep telling people they are not even Muslims neither this attack has anything to do with Islam,Women education and women rights.Thats just a game to give reason playing with innocent human lives is necessary to save some other precious lives.

Thank you, sister harb, for reminding us that amongst all our political and theological discussions, there is still a young girl, brutally shot and in a serious condition!

And with this young girl,some other kids are fighting for their lives.Drone attack in Orakzai agency killed 8,injured several madarsa students who are unfortunately way younger than Malala.Keep them in your doaa also.In Sibbi,Bomb blast killed 11 and several injured.And thats just what they scored today.No condolence recieved till now.Is there only Malala who feel pain of gun shots and injuries and only her life was precious enough to discuss?


P.S.My words are a response to the behavior of international media and human rights activist,not specifically Glo.

Those are terrible events! I pray for those victims too, sister Endymion. I pray for all people who suffer from oppression and terror, and who are denied a life of freedom. I pray for a world when there is peace amongst the different peoples, races and religions. And I will continue to pray for as long as I live!

This particular thread, however, happens to be about a young girl called Malala, who is lying in a hospital bed and fighting for her life. So in this thread I am inviting people to pray for her in particular.

I agree with you. I am highly suspicious. Just on a side note, I heard that Obama is getting involved in this? Right around the election time? hmmmm..

 

[IslamicRevival]

No matter what the girl was campaigning for, she didnt deserve a bullet to the head. Islam teaches us to preserve plants and trees in times of war, this is how just and beautiful our religion is and no one can try and justify this sickening attack in the name of Islam.

“Shame on you Taliban,”

12 year olds dont have anything better to do with their time? Even prodigies dont get involved in "political campaigns" at that age. Malala clearly was not a prodigy child, nor did her IQ level reach 170.

 

[CosmicPathos]

Why would a young girl be actively targetted and shot in such a brutal manner? (Was Ehsanullah Ehsan, the Pakistani Taliban spokesperson lying when they claimed responsibilty for the attack?)

Why use the qualifier "young?" Is it ok to actively target and shot an elderly girl (oops, woman)?

Murders happen everyday. Brothers kill brothers. Wives kill husbands, and mothers kill their babies (link posted by vale). Why does not it make sense to you that some revengeful man shot a 14 year old?
