Malala Yousafzai is at it again. A true rent-a-cause, far-left activist, just like Greta Thunberg, she has jumped into the ongoing hijab controversy in India. It so happened that a private college in Karnataka’s Udupi district barred hijab-wearing Muslim girls from attending classes and Malala is aghast at the college “forcing us to choose between studies and the hijab.” Indian leaders must stop the marginalization of Muslim women, school dress code be damned.”
MSN (h/t Marvin W) Malala has come a long way from being a young Pakistani girl who dared to look in the eyes of the Taliban when they threatened her from attending school. In 2012, she was shot in the head by the Islamist militia for her campaign in favour of education of girls in Pakistan. She then thought “wearing a burqa is like walking inside a big fabric shuttlecock with only a grille to see through and on hot days it’s like an oven,” as she confessed in her memoir, I Am Malala.
Today, 10 years later, in the comforts of the ultra-liberal West, Malala’s worldview seems to have turned upside down: Hijab today symbolizes freedom for her. It helps Muslim women fight against their sexist commodification. Incidentally, the country – Norway – that awarded Malala the Nobel Peace Prize has already banned burqa and niqab in schools and colleges. But she is yet to criticize Norway for doing that.
Despite going up against the fundamentalist Taliban, Malala and her far left friends work overtime to look for excuses to accommodate the Muslim extremist worldview. The larger point is who decides what can be allowed in a school or college?
Where will all this end? In fact, if we look back at the Islamic world, such concessions only lead to a demand for bigger concessions. Today, it’s hijab. Tomorrow, it is going to be burqa. Day after, there may be calls for girls-only schools. And in the end, we all would be arguing if we need a school for girls.
As for Malala, she owes it to those women and girls who weren’t fortunate enough to come out of the Taliban terrifying grip. But given her recent opportunistic, rent-a-cause kind of activism, it may be too much to expect from her.
This Nobel “Peace” Prize winner also believes that Israel should be abolished. That put her up there with Yassar Arafat another “Peace” Prize winner.
Reader, Do you have any links to her saying that?
She got married, so her husband now owns her. What comes out of her mouth must meet his approval.
Malala still has a price on her head. The Pushtoon tribes of Yousafzai clan live by Pushtoonwalli, a so-called honor code. It precedes Islam, and is characterized by the following:
Melmastiya – meaning: Hospitality, gatherings, social events — the Buzkashi games are a part of this culture.
Nanawate – meaning: Asylum – anyone may seek asylum within a Pashtoon tribesman’s homestead and the head of the household is honor bound to protect that person. That’s how Osama Bin Laden hid in the mountains of Tora Bora for so many years followed by Abbotabad, Pakistan.
Badal – meaning: Revenge – if a Pushtoon clan’s honor is offended, someone from that the tribe has the right to exact revenge. It may be a year, two years or take up to fifty years. But someone will do it and the whole clan will bless that martyr.
Malala is seen as a traitor, harlot and enemy by most of the Yousafzai clan. They WILL exact their Badal (revenge) someday. It’s kinda inevitable and I feel sad for that future event. Hope she doesn’t die at the hands of a vengeance-seeking Afgoon.
I also think she should stay out of this stupid controversy in India which will die down in a few weeks time. I don’t expect the gandu Hindus to put off much of a resistance and the hijab-wearing girls will be back on campus.
Britain took in Malala and her family and gave her and her family lots of money and many wonderful and special things.
Pakistani Muslim Malala is devoid of all gratitude to Brits.
Malala has no compassion or mercy for the one million non Muslim British children, mostly white, but also Sikh and Hindu young girls who have been, and continue to be GANG RAPED, TORTURED, and Forced into PROSTITUTION and SEX SLAVERY by highly organized Pakistani Muslim SEX SLAVER GANGS.
As a world famous celebrity, she must speak out in protest, but Revolting Malala is Despicably Silent over the Severe Muslim Persecution of Britain’s non Muslim children.
The Screams of AGONY of the Sex Slave child victims Pierce the Heavens. The Earth is Soaked with their BLOOD and TEARS.
Bible, Psalm 56:8
Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?
Well said.
Majority of the imports couldn’t give a flying toss about how they have been helped by the British tax payers. They are just takers.
We didn’t invite her here, Gordon Brown and tony Blair did. we didn’t want her at all. They also gave her university education at our cost, while we have to pay for our children. & brought her entire family to UK at our expense and we are still paying for them, along with housing, medical bills, and everything else.
Everybody at a School must abide by the Rules of Uniform, expect muslim students as they are a special breed of stupid.
