Only surprised? Does this not provoke any thought? All senior members (minus Zarvi the great) have vehemently apposed tyrannic TTP throughout, yet are not in support of Malala. This shows that TTP and Malala are two different issues and should be dealt, and analyzed individually.
1. Have you ever seen her conversing in English? This is her command (if it could be called command at all) of English today while in England. Was she really the one who wrote for BBC at the age of 9? several years ago in Sawat?
2. Writing anonymously for BBC against TTP - what kind of bravery is this? If she had revealed her identity and publicly condemned, and wrote against TTP while staying in Sawat, it would be a different thing but did that happen?
3. There are much more prominent educationists in Pakistan who literally devoted their ENTIRE life for the cause of Education in general and girls education in particular. Late Professor Anita Ghulam Ali is on such example. She was not even nominated for an international award let alone Nobel. What Malala has done in comparison to Professor. Ghulam Ali?
4. Her father owned a private School in Sawat in which she was a student. Due to TTP, his business went down and completely shut down when Army went into Sawat and used the School as a post. In her book (albeit who wrote it), she has expressed her disgust against Pakistan Army for using the School as an Army post. This clearly appears to be a case of conflict of interest. She did not speak for the girls of Sawat but for her father's business.
