jbg Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 (CBS News) LONDON - Doctors in Pakistan have managed to pull a bullet from the neck of a 14-year-old girl who was shot by a Taliban war hero. The fighters were resisting such incursions into their way of life by girls who wanted to become doctors. The important of heathen Western ideas threatens to derail traditional societies and constitutes a dramatic substitution for open Western colonialism and imperialism. It is this degree of spunk and courage that I most admire in the struggle against cultural dominance. Pakistan teen Malala Yousufzai, shot by Taliban for promoting girl's education, "improving" in hospital (link) (CBS News) LONDON - Doctors in Pakistan have managed to pull a bullet from the neck of a 14-year-old girl who was shot by a Taliban gunman Wednesday for speaking out in favor of girls' education. Malala Yousufzai remains in critical condition at a military hospital in Peshawar, however, following the shooting in her hometown of Mingora, in Pakistan's Swat Valley - a former stronghold of the Taliban. "She is improving. But she is still unconscious," a regional Pakistani official told the Associated Press. "I can't say a final word about her condition. A board of doctors is constantly examining her condition." A senior Pakistani official later told CBS News that Malala was "semi-conscious," and had shown some level of response to doctors. ****************** The Taliban came for Malala as she boarded a bus to go home from school. The gunman sought her out and shot her in the head and neck and wounded two other girls. There is no doubt that Malala was the target. The gunman actually asked for her by name when he boarded the school bus. **************************** It seems she was wrong. The Taliban are actually proud of targeting a teenage girl who wants an education. In claiming responsibility for the attack, a Taliban spokesman called Malala, "the symbol of infidels and obscenity".

Mr.Canada Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Israel needs to take over the west bank and gaza and just push out the Arabs entirely or let them live peacefully to end this once and for all. Make all of West bank and gaza israel as well. Israel being weak with the Arabs doesn't do any good at all. It just fires up the anti Semites even more.

Some here are masters of anti-Semitism under any guise. Just as you and I are charged with introducing Israel into every thread. Looks good on them. As far as the attack goes these people think that fighting helpless people is acceptable.As far as the situation in Israel goes, it is the Arabs that turned that area into a war zone. There is nothing that the 14 year old girl in Pakistan did that makes her shooting just. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Guest American Woman Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 Never surprises me how post on an Islamist barbaric attack can quickly be turned to a thread about Jews. Some here are masters of anti-Semitism under any guise. I was wondering how a thread about a terrible act by the Taliban warranted criticism about Israel - and a turn of the thread in that direction. I've never been one to readily accuse people of anti-Antisemitism, but the response criticizing Israel, without a word of criticism meanwhile the cultural dominance of zionism continues and our hypocritical government closes it's eyes in regards to israeli illegal occupation/apartheid...did the murder of the palestinian girl get even more than brief mention on daily news? maybe if she was activist against the taliban instead just on her way to school ??? The topic is a terrible, deliberate act by the Taliban, who sought Malala Yousufzai out, simply because the girl in question was advocating education and rights for girls and women - and you have nothing to say about it as you criticize Israel?? What a terrible disservice to her. ---------------------------------------- As for the girl in question, she is undoubtedly a remarkable girl; a hero to the women and girls held under the rule of the Taliban. As DoP said in another thread, she is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize. I can't say enough about her bravery and commitment to do something to change the way things are for the better. Again, as a woman and the mother of daughters, I can't imagine living under such conditions. . Quote

That is one brave woman and she has hit a nerve. I think there might just be a major game change in the area as a result of the support her cause is getting. I believe one perp has been caught, or art least,as a suspect. I wonder what the sentence will be if he is guilty. Quote

I believe one perp has been caught, or art least,as a suspect. I wonder what the sentence will be if he is guilty. Evidently she is still getting threats. She's been moved to the UK for further medical treatment and to remove her from the threats she's been receiving. A teenage Pakistani activist shot in the head by the Taliban arrived in the United Kingdom on Monday for more specialized medical care and to protect her from follow-up attacks threatened by the militants. The Taliban have threatened to target Malala again until she is killed because she promotes "Western thinking." http://www.cbsnews.c...n-lands-in-u.k/ I would think the Pakistani government is really going to have to make an attempt to crack down on the Taliban there. The nation at large seems to be protesting over this, and it has indeed caught the attention of the world. According to the article, the school that she attended is still full - the girls and their families say they are not going to be intimidated by the attack, which is wonderful and so heartening. I don't think there are any suspects yet, though; the article says that although there were many witnesses no one has come forward with any information. Quote

Guest American Woman Posted October 16, 2012 Report Posted October 16, 2012 Taliban insurgents said on Tuesday that the Pakistani schoolgirl its gunmen shot in the head deserved to die because she had spoken out against the group and praised U.S. President Barack Obama. Pakistan's Taliban described Yousufzai as a "spy of the West". "For this espionage, infidels gave her awards and rewards. And Islam orders killing of those who are spying for enemies," the group said in a statement. "She used to propagate against mujahideen (holy warriors) to defame (the) Taliban. The Quran says that people propagating against Islam and Islamic forces would be killed. "We targeted her because she would speak against the Taliban while sitting with shameless strangers and idealized the biggest enemy of Islam, Barack Obama." Good to hear that several arrests have been made, but I have to wonder if anything much will come of the arrests as the article points out that Pakistani government officials have refrained from criticizing the Taliban by name over the attack. http://news.yahoo.com/taliban-says-attack-pakistani-schoolgirl-justified-120515479.html Quote
