Malala Yousafzai Wins Nobel Peace Prize for Pakistan.

title should be for education, not Pakistan.

Her goal is pursuit of education for every child, not just pakistani child or Pakistan itself.
 
I have read the posts in this forum and comments over the social media criticizing a brave young Pakistani girl with distaste. Without doubt extremist lovers among my fellow countrymen are extremely unhappy. I remember when it was alleged that Malala was not Pakistani at all!
IMO the following is one of the most objective articles:

Malala’s Nobel peace prize has been celebrated all over the world. Both the simplicity of her message and her extraordinary poise at such a young age were on full display when she gave a short news conference the day it was announced. Magnificently, she said that while the prize was a great encouragement for her campaign she had not taken time off attending the day’s classes in her Birmingham school.

She must be the first ever Nobel winner who marked the moment of such great personal success by going to a chemistry class.

And it’s not only internationally that this remarkable young woman is appreciated. In Pakistan too there are many people who take pride in the fact that a daughter of Pakistani soil, from a remote region and with no great privilege in her family background, has emerged as such an admired global icon.

But others in Pakistan take a different view. After all, the reason that Malala is living in Birmingham is that were she to go back to Swat there is a significant chance she would be murdered. And while her book has been read all over the world it has been removed from some Pakistani school libraries on the grounds that its content is ‘controversial’.

Some of Malala’s critics make quite limited points. Yes, they argue, she is brave and has done a good job highlighting the need for education but she has made some mistakes. She should not have said in her book that Pakistan is centuries behind the UK. Pakistan is not that bad and anyway, it is demeaning and embarrassing for Pakistanis to have their relative lack of economic development paraded all over the world. Patriotic Pakistanis should talk the country up, not down.

Some in the army may share those views but they also have a slightly different objection: in her book, they argue, Malala is too critical of the extent of the army’s power and does not give enough recognition to the risks taken and sacrifices made by soldiers who have been away from their loved ones fighting the Taliban.

It’s an old story. While many soldiers mourn their comrades in arms who have given their lives fighting the Taliban and feel their efforts have gone largely unrecognised, many Pakistanis believe that the army is itself responsible for sponsoring some radical Islamist groups and the decision to tackle the Pakistan Taliban – for example in Swat – came far too late. Furthermore the army’s repeated interventions in politics has disrupted the democratic development of the country which offers the only long term hope of Pakistan emerging as a stable and more prosperous country.

While that debate rages on, another strand of Pakistani opinion has far stronger objections to Malala. The ideological right wing objects to her for a whole series of reasons. They dislike her gender and her understanding of Islam. They both distrust and resent her decision to live in the west. It’s difficult to know how many people think this way but reasonable observers might agree it’s not just a fringe point of view. Some in the mainstream, at least some of the time, are tempted to dismiss Malala with comments along these lines.

On the day Malala co-won the Nobel peace prize I did a BBC interview with someone who believed the award of the peace prize was a disgrace because both Malala and her father are no more than puppets of the west intent on establishing morally corrupting, western-inspired schools in Pakistan which will weaken the next generation.

The interview caused some upset. Why had the decision been taken to interview someone who gave such a bad impression of Pakistan? Why not reflect the pride many Pakistanis felt about Malala winning such a prestigious international award?

It’s a tricky issue for the foreign media covering Pakistan. For the most part liberals dominate western coverage of the country. There are many reasons for this. They tend to speak good English; they understand western media outlets and have the time and inclination to get on them; their opinions make sense to western journalists who find it difficult to comprehend the worldview of Pakistan’s nationalist and religious right wing.

But the result is that many western consumers of the news coming out of Pakistan can end up with a somewhat false impression of what the country is like and do not understand the strength of conservative forces in the country.

So for all the complaints that the foreign media concentrates on bad news (it does that everywhere and not just in Pakistan) and that it over-dramatises events, the fact remains that western audiences are generally presented with a disproportionate number of liberal Pakistani analysts.

Of course they speak for an important, progressive element in the country’s society. But as the liberals themselves know all too well, they are often fighting against the tide. Just consider for a moment the public reaction to the murder of Salmaan Taseer.

Pakistan’s mainstream religious leaders, despite their undeniable importance to the country’s politics and society, barely ever make it onto the western media. It’s a pity. They should be on more often. The same goes for political conservatives. More frequently broadcasting their views would give western news consumers a fuller and more nuanced understanding of what Pakistan is like and how its people think. The coverage, in short, should reflect the reality. Simple really.

It gives me immense pleasure to see second 'PAKISTANI' winning the highest accolade that this world can offer to a fellow human being.

Malala: May Allah bless you and you enjoy a long and prosperous life.

Taliban lovers: Eat your heart out. May Allah consign your beloved ISIS & Taliban savages to rot in hell for ever.
 
You registered just to post this worthless comment? I bet you have a beard, hate every thing around you, and mostly you are pissed as some jehadi colleague didn't get the USD1.2 million cash prize that comes with Nobel! :D

Making fun of our Nation...

Ameen. Summa Ameen. May Allah grant us the chance to slay few million of these Talib lovers!

Malala: May Allah bless you and you enjoy a long and prosperous life.

Taliban lovers: Eat your heart out. May Allah consign your beloved ISIS & Taliban savages to rot in hell for ever.

They can bark as much as they can but Malala is now nothing more than a puppet of west as her book is full of crap against Islam and Pakistan and Jinah and Iqbal the crap which best and its slaves in Pakistan so called intellectuals who are basically filled with western garbage may be proud of her. True Pakistani heros are girls like Arfa Karim who when Bill Gates raised question about Hijab she proudly defended it or Girls like Nabila who is standing against drone attacks and many young IT experts who this country and people of this country proudly own and people like Edhi and Imran who help poor and sick not people like Malala and her father who sell Pakistan and Islam for dollars
So for Slaves of West : You can get as happy as you want but Pakistanis give a dam about these kinds of pets of west

Any one who disagrees with Mullah league goes to hell .. lol .. i would like to be there least no mullahs will be there
 
It's usually few Zarvee types, out of tens of thousands here. So I can safely say, it's the violent minority you are talking about.

From what I have noticed here, it is unusually low.

Chall bey, thakkay huay maulvi. Go oil your beard and burn it, along with yourself. Jahannami hound of hell! :D

فرسودہ سماج بناوٹی تہذیب جھوٹے الفاظ کے جال ۔ غیر فطری اصول ۔ منافق خلوص ۔ حریص نظریں ۔ اجاراداری کا جنون ۔ لاقانون معاشرہ ۔ بکتا ھوا کاغذوں پر لکھا جھوٹا انصاف ۔ عدل انصاف کے باہر بیوپاروں کا ہجوم ۔ نفسی خواہشات سے لیکر عقلی دلیلوں کے قاتل سماج میں ایمان کی آگ کے بارود کے ڈھیر پر صدیوں بعد الفاظ اورآواز کے سہارے کوئ ملالہ زخمی چہرے اور لہرزتی آواز سے صرف اتنا پکار پاتی ھے عورتیں اور بچیاں بھی انسان ہیں علم اور آواز ان کو بھی خدا نے دی تم کیوں چھین رہے ھو ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
 
What a great achievement by Malala Yousufzai; she has really raised the head of pakistan in the World.

But it is also a sad coincidence that neither she nor Dr.Abdus Salam the Great Physicist who also won the Nobel Prize were/are unable to return to their home-land. This should give Paksitanis something to really think about.

Enjoy the irony my friend.

The only two Pakistanis(Dr Salam and Malala) to bring laurels to Pakistan internationally are hated and disowned in Pakistan - both had to leave Pakistan.

Meanwhile Pakistanis adore and love people like Hafiz Sayeed, the Zaid Hamids and their ilks - they are patriots and charity workers :lol:
 
I respect Malala for being the one who led the war of education for women in Pakistan. She deserves the appreciation from people who support education. It is the human right to acquire good education to become a member of the society and to speak out loud about the wrong activities happening around us. Whether it is a boy or a girl, education should be supplied equally. I wonder how she has been rescued from the bullet attack from the terrorists. The world wants Malala to fight against the banned education system for women in Pakistan.

Actually education for women in Pakistan is not banned(we have more female medical graduates than male graduates) however her region(swat district) had taliban insurgency in the past and as you know taliban dont want anyone to study and question their wrongdoings
