My darling niece came to visit at the weekend. When she arrived, she was already dancing with happiness because my sister had taken her to a bookshop from where she had purchased a small pile of hardbacks. Thrilled for her joys, I shuffled through them adoringly – most of them were about princesses and princes – until I reached the last volume, a larger book entitled ‘Malala: Warrior with Words’
My heart having sunk like stone, I began to flip lazily through the pages.
“I don’t like this one.” I said, eventually, putting it face-down on the table.
“Why?” she asked. I couldn’t answer her, but let me be more explicit with you. I think it is scandalous for a child to read a book dedicated to a Hamas financier and Islamic entry-wedge. Parents be aware.
D, LDN.
It’s odd that you and Muslim fundamentalists are united in the disgust for Malala.
I guess she’s one issue in which you have a illusory unity of minds!
Could I ask why?

I don’t think Islamists care about her, to be honest.

She’s making millions of pounds and yet does nothing to degrade the force of Islam itself. She is still a Muslim. If she had the courage of someone like Hirsi Ali, I might feel some affection for her. She’s basically a celebrity. A fraud and a money-maker.

For me the jury is still out.
At 18 years old; for me another few more years, of living and learning.
If she does not get it in 2-3 years then you are 100% right.
The risk is she may not see past the indoctrination from all those higher elite studies that control universities and then starts to work for islam with her “moderate muslim” approach.
Being at the forefront and pressured by the Taliban and extremists I hope makes her study the koran, hadiths and sira as you have done recently, with all awareness of abrogation and how muslims are supposed to emulate Mohamad as the the “perfect man”.
The hamas donation would be interesting if she can be shown what is taught at those schools, or has her father’s anti-Semitic views become deeply ingrained.
Just read the DS link and it makes good points, and yes there is a strong chance she may not change. If only some “untamed reporter” now and again can ask her some uncomfortable challenging questions.
If and when she turns then she will be very effective, as her knowledge will give her great power ;- or will the gold and celebrity and a path to a sense of power keep turning her muslim taqiya head.
PS, I am pleased DMW you did make the effort of reading the turgid koran and have noted how the abrogations work, so that muslims may truly follow the “perfect” man.

It looks like a good outcome could be achieved by encouraging Malala to study religion further. She would ultimately learn why Islam is deeply flawed; or become Islamist herself. Obviously, the former is preferable, ironically even for the Taliban.

Well, she lives in the West now (Birmingham, I believe). That should reveal the superiority of the West over her native civilisation.

The 32nd congress of the Pakistani Marxists opened on Saturday, 9th March 2013
Where her heart truly lies, not for islam but marxism, and in the meantime she gets full security protection.
The full quote from Karl Marx translates as: “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people”.
So what does she really make of islam? or is it really just a cover for another ideology? and so islam could be “useful idiots” in gaining other things for her and the cause.
Makes it interesting. Just what has she studied? and has read up on. Though I do perceive her father’s and friends influences. And great taking in a sabbatical with all costs paid for in the UK.

Wow! I had never heard that. It is now more interesting than ever to see how she “evolves” politically, and religiously.
I do not find it at all surprising that Malala is “cashing in” on her fame, in fact, it would be odd if she did not try and capitalise on her celebrity. There is nothing wrong with celebrity, It has currency like never before. It is more accessible to be a celebrity than at any time in history and even if Malala is fumbling with her beliefs, she has opened a dialogue – perhaps even within her own mind on what it means to be a part of a culture, an ideology and of course a religion within a globalised world.
She is young, and searching for meaning. She may yet desert Islam, if she does not, I think you will see her influence wane anyhow, as happens with celebrities. She may also be sticking to her religion in order to have political influence later in life in Pakistan. In the same way that an American president needs to be nominally Christian, there is certainly an expectation of a Pakistani politician to be Muslim.
I have no problem with Malala, there are far more toxic celebrities that children idolise.

Jamie Glazov puts it very well when he talks about the unholy alliance between Islam and the Left. I think maybe criticising Malala too heavily may be falling into a trap set by this unholy alliance. The narrative would be something like this:
“Look at these nasty Islamophobes! They cant even help themselves bashing poor sweet Malala, the victim of Islamist aggression! All she ever wanted was to go to school! Sure she gave money to Hamas, but that was just to help Palestinian children go to school! Who could be against that??”
As Jamie has said, the unholy alliance has succeeded extremely well in framing the debate so far. We’ve got to change that, and to do so we need to get a bit smarter. Dr Bill Warner made an excellent case in his voices of the voiceless presentation. Lets talk about the victims of Islamic aggression that the Left would rather not be reminded about.
Lets talk about Asia Bibi, DTMW – why not write an article about her instead? I can scarcely think of anyone on the planet who more deserves our support right now.

I still don’t trust Malala, but Ms Bibi definitely deserves our support. I’m surprised not to have heard of her case (although blasphemy cases are very common in Pakistan).

According to this article she is the first woman in Pakistan to have been sentenced to death for blasphemy, so her case is exceptional in fact:

So, this is an escalation in the hysterical evil you’ve been talking about. Its not just happening in Iraq, this escalation is going on everywhere in the Islamic world.
I totally get what you’re saying about Malala, but I just think talking too much about her is helping to promote her agenda. Malala has been feted all over the West, received our expert medical attention and our free education. Asia Bibi by contrast is rotting in prison, almost forgotten, because she is a non-Muslim victim of Islamic aggression. Yet, her agenda is pure, she was asked to submit to Islam and refused and suffers endlessly as a result. In other cases as well the victims are often just killed, but Asia Bibi has managed to stay alive. I think that’s yet another reason for publicising her case, there is still hope for her.

I think Asia Bibi’s case is worth publicising because although the death penalty has been suspended, according to accounts her condition in prison is really appalling:
http://www.christiantoday.com/article/christian.woman.asia.bibi.bleeding.in.terrible.pain.in.pakistani.prison/57442.htm
It says she lives in a windowless cell in solitary confinement where she has to cook her own food for fear it could be poisoned. Also that she been beaten in prison – guards supposed to protect her turning a blind eye. She has suffered internal bleeding and is in poor health. It sounds really as if she is being effectively tortured to death slowly (over years) and not getting medical treatment. So even by the standards of these kinds of cases, it seems extreme. Two prominent politicians have also been murdered trying to defend her.
The BBC and mainstream media generally are only giving rather brief information, omitting the full horrific details of the case. If you hadn’t heard about it, that’s probably why…
