14 year old Pakistani peace activist shot by Taliban

[woolfe9999]

This is a heart breaking story here. Summary:

14 year old Pakistani girl, who wrote a blog chronicling oppressive life under the Taliban, is pro-western and pro-peace, won a children's peace price for her blog. Was shot in the neck and the head by the Taliban. Two other young girls were also shot, unclear whether they were also targets or were caught in the cross-fire.

Malala Yousafzai, a 14-year old Pakistani activist who won international acclaim for her work promoting peace, and two other young girls were shot and seriously injured Tuesday, police and hospital officials said.
Local police and hospital officials told NBC News that Malala was shot in the neck and head shortly after leaving her school in the Swat region. Doctors said they were working in an attempt to save the lives of all three girls.

Malala was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize in 2011 for a blog she wrote under a pseudonym for the BBC. She also won the National Peace Prize in Pakistan, was honored with a school named after her, and quickly became an outspoken critic of the Taliban in Pakistan and public advocate for peace.

those fucktards are not happy unless they are killing somebody. Im so sick of islam and the taliban we should just get medieval and eliminate it from the planet. no holds straight up barbarism.

 

[PokerGuy]

I'm sure some idiot will be along shortly to compare their barbaric behavior to something Christians do in the US to show us that we are just as barbaric.

Those people are in the dark ages and nothing the US can do will really make a difference until they evolve.

lol. as if you care about any *stanis

 

[Texashiker]

What kind of sick people justify this behavior? And all in the name of religion.

 

[sandorski]

Theocrats suck. Doesn't matter the religion, the problem is the mindset of Dogmatic standards.

Tragic story.

 

[bigpimpatl]

guess nobody bothered to click and read the story. Link is broken.

The taliban suck. If you're muslim you should denounce violence like this. Of course if you do, you end up like the girl...

I blame GW Bush for this.

When we had a chance to eliminate them he removed all fighting troops from the area along with all air support and thereby made it impossible for us to ever win, which i think was the general idea behind that move.

Eliminating all Muslims would mean eliminating those who are peaceful like the victim here. I don't think the lesson of this story is that killing is the right solution. Targeted killing of militants, perhaps. Not wholesale slaughter.

This is some pretty good propaganda.

Joseph Goebbels would be impressed.

Two interesting pieces of information in the NYT article which weren't in the NBC piece. One, the bullet passed through her skull but did not enter her brain, meaning she'll likely survive. Two, the group responsible for the shooting says they will target her again.

Are you the illegitimate offspring of ZaneJohnson and Anarchist420?

You seem to be a whole lot of stupid poured into one...

And people protest when i say that the only good Taliban is a dead Taliban.

There is good reason for that, there is nothing good about a living Taliban.

LOL. You must be one of those mindless propaganda sponges who believes everything he sees on TV and then gets angry when other people question his dogma.

Look, shit for brains, just because it's on TV or in the media doesn't mean it's real.

Yes, that is exactly who i am.

It's not like i've actually been involved in situations like the one reported where we had to clean a village of these scum and walk through what they left behind in forms of civilians, tortured, burned, raped and shot inside the vagina, pre teen girls just like Mochhhhammat (piitb) liked them...

You'd do well to read up on my history before you reply to me again.

Really? Since you claim to have access to information we do not possess, why don't you tell us what the real truth is, then provide source references to back it up? You said this is false. Now explain how you know this.

Yeah, and I'm the Pope. Frankly, I don't care who you think you are or who you claim to be.

Pounding on your chest like an ape doesn't impress me.

I understand you're giving him the benefit of doubt, but he has proven himself in other threads to be just another useless troll.
I wish the mods would give me five minutes with the banhammer, this forum could be a much nicer place to post.

Nail on the head.

Would you like some straw with that, straw man?

Sure, just as soon as you can explain how you know this is real.

One form of barbarism is ok but the other is not, I guess the only difference is what side you are on.

No, clearly a bunch of cavemen masterminds did it! Do you know how I know this? Because the people on TV who read teleprompters for a living said so.

If somebody on TV says it's true, then you can take it to the bank!

Nail on the head.

I made the mistake of trying to have a discussion with him. It ended with the conclusion that he is mentally ill. Others are now seeing it too.
