What's new

[PICTURES] Why is Malala now so unpopular in Pakistan?

Let the truth be delusion to people like you! Sure she has contributed very well after being being made a millionairess by the west for being attacked! Where do I sign on the dotted line to follow her? So from that money she made some is being passed on to suffering Muslims!

No one is saying Muslim people do not have problems within the community so what you on about? Problem I have with her is he so called balanced views are not that at all. Every now and again just to prove herself to be a Pakistani a few words of condemnation are said to please us! If she is really sincere can do a lot more giving a balanced view and questioning the west's never ending war's on Muslim countries. Do you have the hot's for her or something that you are unable to see the double standards within her as it seems?

The problem here is how she has made millions for being shot!! What has she done for the country that is so praiseworthy other then a few tweets here and there? I did not deny Pak people seeking asylum elsewhere neither are those people attacking Malala then why are you having a go at them for? How do you know these people seeking asylum abroad are the very ones who are calling for Malala to be murdered? You no nothing....you no jack but are just making the entire thing up without an ounce of evidence.

Even with philanthropy, you are very territorial : what had she done for Pakistan? Amazing.

Here a few things that will answer your question.

-She donated $7 million towards educational projects in remote areas of Pakistan.

-Funded the treatment and education of APS survivors.

-Repaired schools damaged by the TTP.

I believe it is good enough? All this before the age of 21. I wonder what Malala’s detractors have done for Pakistan? These punks do not even pay taxes.
 
See people like you come right outta a comic book! You would rather just follow the common opinion than form your own one. What she has done is made a lot of money for talking nonsense or the obvious for that matter. We all know the many problems Pak has, only difference is that she is a western stooge who gets paid for speaking or tweeting.

First get shot in the face and then you may have a point. Standing up to the beasts and getting shot is not easy. She deserves all the recognition she gets.

...and the money she contributed for all you are telling me about she got for bad mouthing Pak! This is something you obviously ignore. You do realise that she was a nobody before being shot and is now a millionairess so pardon me for calling her a fake!

Many have been killed by terrorists in Pak, they were ignored or went unnoticed! Our soldiers who many here hate are maimed yet don't even get a mention. I don't need to get shot or injured when these people have do so. Okay I will get shot too if you promise to make me a millionaire!

I knew you would ask this. Very predictable. Malala represents all the women in the world who are abused and have limited access to education. She is a symbol of woman emancipation and a symbol of female education globally including Pakistan.

Hundreds of thousands of people died or were injured during Pakistan’s partition but only Quaid-e-Azam is remembered and we have his portrait on our currency notes. Why? Because he is the face of the partition and he represents all those who were killed. He is a symbol of that movement. Does it mean those who sacrificed their lives in 1947 were any less?No.

You seem so confused. First, you said she did nothing for Pakistan but when presented with Malala’s contribution, you digress. Typical.
 
Operation Searchlight in 1971, which was considered the biggest genocide since the Holocaust.

Stop talking nonsense..that honour is reserved for the Serbs and the numbers in the wot dwarf anything in 71..

:))):))):))) Symbol of education in your mind only! You can't compare Malala being shot to the creation of Pakistan for goodness sake!! There is no comparison here at all and the Quaid was not even a wealthy man like Malala is. See you are clearly not realising that Malala has been planted by the west to further it's own agenda. I pity your commonsense when you are comparing he to a self made lawyer and creator or Pakistan who was one of the greatest leaders of the last century. Malala is a nobody!

She did nothing prior to being shot was what I meant. She was made by the media...chosen by them. I believe at the time other girls were also targeted who did not get half the attention she did. You are n about her contributions as if she was a starving lady who left home to help the poor. She's a very wealthy lady now living a high life!

You seem to have comprehension issues. I was not comparing the two. I was merely giving you examples of how a few faces can represent hundreds of thousands of people and influential movements.

If she is not the symbol of education, who is?For your information, long before Malala shot to fame, she was awarded Pakistan’s Youth Peace Award. Perhaps, you can do a bit of research so that you do not appear so ignorant and clueless.

So, tell me what the West’s agenda? Make sure Pakistani women go to school. How evil!!!

If your problem with her is that she is wealthy now, I feel pity for you that you are jealous of a 21 year old girl. If you work hard and persevere, you too, maybe successful.

Almost all of the money belongs to her foundation, it is not hers. Even if she has earned money from the sales of her book, why is it a problem?

You can also write a book and see if people buy your book or not.Everybody has the right to earn money. If you do not have the ability to write a book, it is your problem.

You’re kidding, right? He was one of the best lawyers during his time, and was an extremely wealthy man.
 
I said it was the biggest genocide since the Holocaust till that point.

it wasnt.. thats my point. the numbers quoted by the bangladesh freedom movement are unverifiable and ignore the atrocities by the other participants. Also for the Pakistan army to commit the amount of killings that are attributable to them would have meant a monumental killing spree by each soldier.

But Im not downplaying the atrocity just the numbers that are quoted nowadays.

You are talking mince! Sure when you are paid millions for being shot it is so very easy to have a voice that is supported by certain sources. There are millions of poor people who want education as well, only difference is they were not supposedly shot then made in to a heroine.

They are many Pak people like Arfa Karim and even Aafia Siddiqui who made it big and was going places until her untimely death and imprisonment.You are naive and ignorant of the fact that Malala is used by outside powers to malign Pakistan. If she said one good thing about Pak would be ignored and her income would stall as well.

The west's agenda is to constantly bash Pakistan with the ultimate aim of seizing our nukes hence all this nonsense of being called the "most dangerous country in thee world". So why does not Malala tweet daily about IoK that is far more severe or what is happening at the America-Mexican border? Coz this sellout will not be paid handsomely for that.

Jinnah saheb was self made coming from a humble not wealthy background. He earned all his wealth with hard work and his incredible intelligence. Malala has made millions just for being shot!

My problems is that she can't be taken seriously for being made a millionairess for being shot no matter her age. That she is being paid by the enemies of Pakistani for always bashing the country. If you call being shot "hard work" then can only laugh at you!:rp

So she gets shot then writes a book bad mouthing Pakistan after the press make her famous. Do you even know who started and paid for this foundation of hers? Sure if you shoot me then I can claim compensation but my book will probably not sell that well coz the Zionist press will show no interest in the incident. They only showed interest in Malala's case and book to tell the world how terrible a place Pakistan is. You have no clue how the world works and for your information I may not be a millionaire but a wealthy man nonetheless.

Why her?I already answered that.

Also, long before she was shot, she was was already blogging about the difficulties girls faced when going to school in Swat. This is the period when Swat was under Taliban control.

The West has valid reasons to bash Pakistan. But, of course, people like to feel Pakistan is a flawless country. Delusional.

Tell me one thing that Malala has said about Pakistan which is inaccurate. The problem with Pakistanis is that they cannot face the truth.

It is illogical to compare Arfa with Malala. Arfa did not stand up against terrorists and she was not shot for doing so.

What is Aafia Siddiqui’s achievements apart from marrying the nephew of KSM?

Your arguments do not hold any weight. Even if she is super wealthy as you claim, why is that even an issue?Does being wealthy make her less credible? Using your logic, Bill Gates is also not credible.

All Malala’s statements about Pakistan are spot on. There is no denying. There are 22 million children out of school in Pakistan- the highest in the world!!

Many other people were blogging about the Taliban as well that you obviously missed at the time. All you have answered is how she has helped Pakistan to which I have told you it was with money she earned by bad mouthing Pak.

Then why is the west not bashing other countries like South Korea, Iraq, Iran and so forth by hiring their bloggers and then paying them handsomely as well for their views? No the problem is that Malala gets paid by the enemies of Pak....that the west picks on Pak as it's the only Muslim nuke power. Why does Malala never celebrate Pakistani culture by showing the world it's beauty? Thing is that like one Sharmeen Chinoy she only shows one side of the coin coz it sells in the west.

Oh yes Aafia did stand up to American terrorists for sure for which she is still being punished so why does your darling Malala not speak on that? I mentioned Arfa as an example of a progressive Pakistan which the likes of sellouts like Malala ignore.

Someone like you is no one to decide whose argument is just when your own views of painting everything about Pakistan as being evil are stupid and ridiculous. Bill Gates is self made where as Malala belonged to a poor family before selling out to the west. Why can't you understand this simple point man! It is how she attained that wealth that makes her views hypocritical.

If she really wants to help then return to Pak bringing all her money and invest it in the country. It is her own Pathan community of KPK living in the stone age era she should first take care off by the way! That education is lacking in Pak does not mean she should bash everything about the country to please her handlers.

What are you even on about?How is this topic even related to Pakistan’s culture. Do you have evidence to back your claim that she is being paid billions by the West?

As far is showing only one side of the coin, the other side is even grimmer. Tell me one significant achievement of Pakistan which no other country has.

Please do not say that Pakistan has the second highest mountain. It should be something substantial. If Pakistan was so great, there wouldn't be millions of Pakistanis fleeing the country and you and would not be sitting where we are sitting now.


Malala has already spoken on major conflicts. What else do you want? Even if she does whatever you want her to do, you will say she is playing to the gallery.

Tell me!! Why is earning money through the sales of her book a sin?Everybody has the right to earn a livelihood.

She has been helping KPK and building and repairing schools. And, she is only a 21-year old girl. You expect her to transform the country completely?

Pakistan is not safe and you are a big example of that with your hatred for her. Even our politicians and army chiefs prefer to stay abroad due to security concerns and you expect Malala to come and stay in Pakistan.


General Kayani- once Pakistan’s most powerful man who commanded an army of 7,00000- is chilling somewhere in Australia due to security concerns.

This topic is related to Pak culture in the sense that Malala chooses to ignore the positive sides of the country. Yes I do have evidence that she is a western stooge if you simply see how poor she was before being shot. She does not belong to a wealthy family or anything like that.

Pak culture, Pak Music, Pak drama's and fashion the list is endless if one can be logical that she could speak off. So what if other countries have their own positive traits does not negate all the thing in Pak. How do you know where I am ehh? I could be in Lahore for all you know. People are escaping many other countries as well in case it missed you coz of political upheaval. What I want Malala to do is be impartial and objective that she can not be otherwise the Zionists will send her back to where she came from.

Coz in her book all she is on about is how terrible Pak is. See bad news sells especially when it's about the only Muslim nuke power so the west laps it up. She is not self made that I can respect her, if being shot in Pak is the criteria for being wealthy then many have suffered that yet remain so very poor.

Once again she is helping IK with money that has been given to her for bashing Pakistan. It is not as if she was an actress or sportsperson who earned all the money with hard work that we are supposed to feel thankful towards her. I don't think you know what "hatred" means that you are talking nonsense again. I have simply said that she is a sellout, hypocrite and western stooge. Pakistan is much safer today then it has been over the past 20 years. In a few years when things are insha Allah much better you will most likely be wagging your tail like Adnan Sami Khan to settle there.

So what if certain people go abroad? Everyone does including Americans as well but it is these very soldiers who protect Pakistan by taking bullets on their chest where as self hating Pakistanis like you can only blabber hiding behind a laptop. A soldiers signs to protect Pakistan, after his duty or career is over can do whatever he wants.

That same rant again. Those naughty Zionists!!! Very bad!!! That is classic you.

Your line if thinking is very minuscule. Malala is promoting Pakistan by standing in front of world leaders and talking about female education.

Show me the proof she is a Zionist agent because you were the one who are hurling such senseless accusations. Hurry, I am waiting.

You have not answered any questions I asked. All you keep blabbing is Zionists, the US and conspiracies.

Are you Zaid Hamid is disguise?

Comprehension issues again. We are not talking about patriotism and taking bullets in the chest. We are talking about Malala.

Let me say it again. She is represents all the females in the world who having difficulty in accessing education. Similar to how Quaid-e-Azam represents all the sacrifices made during the partition.

If our army chief feels unsafe in Pakistan then Malala is only a 21-year old girl. She should never come back to Pakistan. There are far too many nutters baying for her blood.

There is nothing to comprehend about sellouts. So first you go on about Kayani then say we are not talking about the army!!

Malala represents herself only, okay? She is supported by the enemy to give Pak a bad name and has gained lots of money for doing that. I bet if Malala returns no one will kill her other then her own Pathans, they will be the greatest danger to her. Just coz Kayani or some other army personnel is abroad doesn't mean they are feeling unsafe. You have clearly lost your mind here.

Oh I see so you want me to praise Zionism doing your job?? You have no line of thinking at all other then the common opinion of how great Malala is!! There was this non Muslim white lady who did so much good in Pak yet she hardly gets a mention, no one paid her or anything like Malala is. Thankfully, this Malala mania you love so much is now yesterday's news. No longer is she invited to speak in front of UN officials or any channel.

If she is not a Zionist then where did all that money come from after she left Pak? Why is every victim of violence in Pak or supporter of education not a millionaire/ss. That you have a go at Zaid Hamid when he is often right is a compliment to me here. Next you will say Nawaz, Maryam Bibi and Zardari's earnings are halaal ki kamai as well. https://www.veteranstodayarchives.com/2014/10/27/malala-op-2/
 

Malala Yousafzai Makes Her Acting Debut with Cowgirl Cameo in We Are Lady Parts: 'Finally Showing My Hidden Talent'​


Malala Yousafzai can add “screen star” to her long list of titles.

The 26-year-old activist made her acting debut in the newest season of the British sitcom We Are Lady Parts with a brief but glorious cameo. In season 2’s “Malala Made Me Do It,” the cast — starring Anjana Vasan, Sarah Kameela Impey, Juliette Motamed, Lucie Shorthouse and Faith Omole — break out into a country song titled after the episode. During the fantasy sequence accompanying the tune, Yousafzai emerges from the shadows dressed in Western and Pakistani-inspired garb, sitting atop a fake horse.

While Yousafzai has worked behind the scenes in the entertainment sector, partnering with Apple for a multiyear programming deal in 2021, she told Vogue she “never expected to be in a show” herself.

“I’m finally showing my hidden talent,” she quipped.

According to a New York Times interview with showrunner Nida Manzoor, the 34-year-old director wrote Yousafzai a letter inviting her onto the show. When Manzoor detailed the idea for Yousafzai’s appearance to her, the I Am Malala author admitted to Vogue she was “clueless.”

“I was like, ‘What will it look like? Do I have dialogue? How many times do I have to do it? How long will it take?’” the Nobel Peace Prize winner said to the outlet. “When I saw the set on the day of filming, it was completely beyond my wildest imagination. And the funny thing was, I didn’t have lines, so it made things a lot easier.”

Yousafzai praised the series for uplifting stories of Muslim girls, allowing viewers “to connect with them and relate to them” — particularly in a time when she believes “humanizing people is so important.”

“Oftentimes, when we look at conflicts, wars, oppression against people, it always begins with dehumanizing another group,” she said. “I hope that we get to hear more stories of people from Gaza, from Afghanistan, and from other parts of the world, and that we use all that we have in our capacity, in public and in private, to do all we can to be a voice for the people in Gaza.”

We Are Lady Parts follows a punk-rock band of Muslim women searching for their big break. As the band — consisting of Amina (Vasan), Saira (Impey), Ayesha (Motamed), Momtaz (Shorthouse) and Bisma (Omole) — navigate friendships, relationships and cultural differences, they pen new tracks that are featured in a musical segment every episode.

The critically acclaimed series has nabbed five BAFTA nominations and two Gotham Award nods for its first season. The six-episode second installment dropped in its entirety on Peacock on May 30.

 
Malala Yousafzai announces Oxford scholarships for Palestinian students

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai is making headlines again, this time for championing education in Palestine.

During a recent fundraising dinner at Oxford University, she announced a new scholarship program specifically for Palestinian students.

“More than 80 percent of schools and universities in Gaza have been either damaged or completely destroyed,” she stated, highlighting the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict on education. She called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the rebuilding of its educational infrastructure.

“There is a need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the rebuilding of educational institutions,” Malala stressed. “We need to share the stories of Palestinian students and provide them with direct funding.”

The Nobel Peace Prize winner underscored the importance of education in fostering hope and resilience, declaring, “We need to share the stories of Palestinian students and provide them with direct funding. By announcing these scholarships, we are not only offering financial support but also sending a message of solidarity.”

The first recipient of this scholarship will begin their studies at Oxford University's Lady Margaret Hall this October. This initiative marks a significant step towards supporting Palestinian students in their pursuit of higher education amidst challenging circumstances.

Malala Yousafzai overwhelmed to be back in Pakistan for education summit​


Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai said she was "overwhelmed" to return to Pakistan for attending global summit on girls’ education in the Islamic world.

Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban in 2012 for advocating girls' education, arrived in Islamabad for the two-day summit, which aims to address the education crisis faced by millions of girls in Muslim-majority countries.

"I'm truly honoured, overwhelmed and happy to be back in Pakistan," Yousafzai told AFP upon arrival.

The summit, which opened on Saturday morning, is attended by representatives from various Muslim-majority nations, where tens of millions of girls are currently out of school.

On Sunday, Yousafzai is scheduled to address the gathering. "I will speak about protecting rights for all girls to go to school, and why leaders must hold the Taliban accountable for their crimes against Afghan women & girls," she posted on social media platform X ahead of the event.

The education minister of Pakistan, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, confirmed that Afghanistan's Taliban government was invited to the summit, but Islamabad has yet to receive a response. Afghanistan remains the only country in the world where girls and women are banned from attending school and university.

Since the Taliban's return to power in 2021, the regime has imposed an austere interpretation of Islamic law, which the United Nations has condemned as "gender apartheid."

Pakistan itself faces a severe education crisis, with over 26 million children out of school, primarily due to poverty, according to government figures.

Yousafzai, who was attacked by the Pakistani Taliban in 2012 while travelling on a school bus in the Swat Valley, was later evacuated to the UK. Since then, she has become a global advocate for girls' education, and at 17, she became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

 
Malala tells Muslim leaders not to ‘legitimise’ Afghan Taliban

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai on Sunday said that the Taliban did not see women as “human beings” and had created a system of “gender apartheid” by cloaking their crimes in cultural and religious justification.

Since sweeping back to power in 2021, the Taliban government has imposed an austere version of Islamic law that the United Nations has labelled “gender apartheid”.

Their curbs have shut women and girls out of secondary school and university education, as well as many government jobs, and seen them sequestered out of many aspects of public life.

While speaking at a summit on girls’ education in Muslim nations being held in Islamabad, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate said the women living under the Taliban system were in a “gender apartheid”.

“The Taliban punish women and girls who dare to break their obscure laws by beating them up, detaining them and harming them,” 27-year-old Yousafzai said.

“Simply put, the Taliban do not see women as human beings,” Yousafzai told the conference. “They cloak their crimes in cultural and religious justification.”

The two-day conference has brought together ministers and education officials from dozens of Muslim-majority countries, backed by the Muslim World League.

Delegates from Afghanistan’s Taliban government did not attend the event despite being invited, Pakistan Education Minister Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui told AFP on Saturday.

Malala said that nothing was Islamic about the policies of the Afghan government and they were “against everything our faith stands for”.

“They are violations of human rights, and no cultural or religious excuse can justify them,” Yousafzai said.

She urged Muslim leaders not to “legitimise” the Afghan Taliban government and to “show true leadership” by opposing their curbs on women and girls’ education.

“Do not legitimise them.

“As Muslim leaders, now is the time to raise your voices, use your power. You can show true leadership. You can show true Islam,” she said.

“While we celebrate our rich [Islamic] history, we must also turn our attention to the present and the urgent crisis of millions of girls who cannot go to school,” she said.

“This is not just happening in small, far-flung communities[…] this is the lived reality of more than 120 million girls globally.”

She added that the Muslim World League should begin by recognising the crisis which was holding economies back by hundreds of billions in lost growth.

“If we do not tackle this crisis […] we will fail to live up to Islam’s fundamental values of seeking knowledge,” she said.

“In Afghanistan, an entire generation of girls is being robbed of their future,” she said.

“The Taliban have ripped away the right to learn from every Afghan girl […] they want to eliminate women and girls from every aspect of public life and erase them from society,” Yousufzai said.

Yousafzai was shot in the face by the Pakistani Taliban when she was a 15-year-old schoolgirl in 2012, amid her campaigning for female education rights.

Her activism earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, and she has since become a global advocate for women’s and girls’ education rights.

While there is an outcry in much of the international community over the Taliban government curbs, nations are divided over how to engage with Kabul’s rulers on the issue.

Some countries argue they should be frozen out of the diplomatic community until they backtrack, while others prefer engagement to coax them into a U-turn.

No country has officially recognised the Taliban authorities, but several regional governments have engaged on the topics of trade and security.

Pakistan’s Malala says Israel has decimated ‘the entire education system’ in Gaza​


Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai on Sunday said she would continue to call out Israel’s violations of international law and human rights in Gaza.

The education advocate was speaking at a global summit on girls’ education in Muslim nations hosted by Pakistan and attended by representatives from dozens of countries.

“In Gaza, Israel has decimated the entire education system,” she said in an address to the conference.

“They have bombed all universities, destroyed more than 90 percent of schools, and indiscriminately attacked civilians sheltering in school buildings.

“I will continue to call out Israel’s violations of international law and human rights.”

Yousafzai was shot when she was a 15-year-old schoolgirl by Pakistani militants enraged by her education activism.

She made a remarkable recovery after being evacuated to the United Kingdom and went on to become the youngest ever Nobel Prize winner at the age of 17.

“Palestinian children have lost their lives and future. A Palestinian girl cannot have the future she deserves if her school is bombed and her family is killed,” she added.

The war in Gaza was sparked by Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of 1,208 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures.

During the attack, Palestinian militants took 251 people hostage, of whom 94 remain in the Gaza Strip, including 34 the Israeli military has declared dead.

Israel’s attack on Gaza has killed 46,537 people, the majority civilians, according to figures from the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory considered reliable by the United Nations.
