Malala Yousafzai's father using his daughter for his political battle against Islam

[Master Khan]

So those illitrate apes that blow themself up, the chiled abuse, the iliteracy and being the poorest peopel in the region don't embarasse you, but a 16 year old who want education for women does?

Peopel like you should grow a brain.

Her name is very symbolic and the truth is, she could be seen as a very important role model for inspiring the fight/right to education. We shouldn't knock this.

She's been turned into a pawn somewhat by ambitious journalists, ex-British Prime Ministers, the state of Pakistan, the Nobel Committee etc. This would not have happened had her father not taken the chance with the danger he was putting her through by thrusting her into the public spotlight. At the time of her first interview, when her real identity (and not her pen-name) was revealed to the world, she was barely 12.

Her attackers allegedly put out some statement following the shooting saying that she was now (technically) an adult and that meant they had the right to silence her. She was 15.

We have to be careful about not narrowing down our view on when adulthood starts through an biased western lens, but clearly she was not in control of what was happening. She can't be blamed for that.

I do not agree with putting bullets through people's heads just because some of their letters were uploaded to a BBC website. I also do not agree with manipulating children for political ends.

Her name is probably the reason she was chosen for this.
remember the real Malala of Maiwand was a jehadi who fought against the British.

I totally agree. Especially the last part.

Its a shame people can go so low in order to further political and ideological agenda.

Even if from a strictly legalistic point of view, she is an adult, there are other more important principles in Shariah one needs be aware of. The fact that she was manipulated by her family from the beginning, should weigh in. It wasn't like a little village girl decided she should start an ideological war against Islam or something.
