Follow @nytimesworld for international breaking news and headlines. Twitter List: Reporters and Editors We have mixed feelings about Malala, said the man, Raja Imran, 30,
his eyes shaded by sunglasses, fiddling with a pack of Marlboros. Was
it the Americans who shot her or was it Al Qaeda? We dont know.
Some people think this is all an American publicity stunt to make their
point against the Taliban. And what did he himself think? Mr. Imran shrugged. Several young customers at the restaurant were similarly ambivalent.
Others asked: What about the other two girls wounded in the
shooting? And what about Aafia Siddiqui? asked one young woman,
referring to the Pakistani woman convicted on charges of trying to kill American soldiers and F.B.I. agents by a New York court in 2010 and sentenced to 86 years in prison. Nobody mentions her, said the woman, who gave her name as Maria,
with a pointed glance before darting away. Such conspiracy-laden skepticism about Ms. Yousafzai, who was shot
by a Taliban gunman inside her school bus, is only one strand of public
opinion here; others have expressed unqualified anger at the attack. But it does suggest something dispiriting: that Pakistans Malala
moment, and the possibilities it briefly excited, has passed. In the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 9 assault, some Pakistanis
hoped it could set off a sea change in their society. For years, the
countrys ability to resist Taliban militancy has been hamstrung by a
broad ambiguity that undermined a national consensus against
Islamist violence. Religious groups hesitated to challenge the Taliban for religious
reasons. Politicians feared speaking out on safety grounds. And the
military, which has a history of nurturing Islamists to fight its proxy
wars in India or Afghanistan, equivocated by tacitly supporting selected militant outfits, known among militancy experts as the good
Taliban. But after Ms. Yousafzai was shot, heart-rending images of the
wounded child bounced against coldblooded Taliban statements that the militants would shoot her again, if they had a chance. The country suddenly spoke with a unified, furious voice. Politicians and religious leaders condemned the Taliban with unusual
passion. The army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, visited Ms.
Yousafzais bedside and released a rare public statement that the
military would refuse to bow before terror. Writers compared the teenage blogger to Anne Frank. Conservative
politicians came under harsh scrutiny. Just two days before the attack, Imran Khan, the former cricket star
whose political star has soared in the past year, had led a honking
motorcade of supporters to the edge of the tribal belt, where they
mounted a protest against C.I.A.-directed drone strikes in the nearby mountains. They received largely favorable news media coverage. But after the shooting, Mr. Khan came in for sharp criticism, partly
because he favors negotiating with the Taliban instead of fighting
them, and partly because he refused to condemn the militants in a
television interview, citing safety concerns for his followers in the
tribal belt. If today I start shouting slogans here against Taliban, who
will save them? Mr. Khan asked. Commentators said the episode hurt Mr. Khans credibility. There had
been latent fears about his Taliban policies, said Fahd Hussain, a
television presenter. This thing suddenly reminded people that he is
not really clear on this subject. Mr. Khan, for his part, is sticking to his guns. Our liberals support
military solution despite them being counterproductive, he wrote in
an e-mail. Each military operation leads to more militancy and
fanaticism. A military operation, however, is exactly what was being speculated
about early this week, when the countrys top generals held a
secretive two-day meeting that stoked speculation they were planning
a long-anticipated assault on the Taliban stronghold of North
Waziristan a major demand of the Obama administration. By then, however, the backlash against Ms. Yousafzai had already
started in earnest. The religious right attacked the wounded schoolgirl,
circulating images on the Internet that showed her meeting senior
American officials and implying that she was an American agent. Other politicians showed little conviction. With the exception of the
Karachi-based Muttahida Qaumi Movement, no party organized mass
street rallies against the Taliban a stark contrast with the violent
riots that seized the country weeks earlier in reaction to an American-
made video insulting the Prophet Muhammad. In Parliament on Wednesday, a government motion in favor of a
military operation against the Taliban was blocked by the
opposition. Most commentators now say a military drive into North
Waziristan is unlikely anytime soon. Whatever window had been opened for military action, or a new
unity against the Taliban now appears to have closed. It was a
golden moment, said Mr. Hussain, the journalist. But thats what it
was a moment. Others doubted the moment ever existed. Remember that we are a
confused and psychologically divided society, said Ayaz Amir, an
outspoken opposition politician. So it is too much to hope that our
national thinking could turn in the other direction so quickly. In some senses, the clearest policy comes from the Taliban. This week
the militants published a seven-page justification for their violence
against Ms. Yousafzai Malala used to speak openly against Islamic
system and give interviews in favor of Western education, while
wearing a lot of makeup, it read and threatened to kill journalists
who criticized its tactics. Others, however, see a silver lining: that Pakistanis have drawn one
major red line when it comes to Taliban aggression. You can be a
devout Muslim, hate America and be more upset than Imran Khan
about drones, said Nusrat Javed, a television commentator. But if you
have daughters who want to go to school, there is universal
condemnation of something like this. The whole episode shows that Pakistanis have an urgent need to be
clear about the Taliban, said Mr. Amir, the politician. There needs to
be an intellectual consensus that we have gone far enough, he said.
We must draw a line. A version of this news analysis appeared in print on October 20, 2012,
on page A9 of the New York edition with the headline: Malala
Moment May Have Passed in Pakistan, as Rage Over a Shooting Ebbs.

People and their conspiracies. 
Malala Yousefzai Can Stand and Write, Doctor Reports
By LAMA HASAN (@LamaHasan)
LONDON Oct. 19, 2012
The Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban for wanting an education stood up today in a remarkable comeback from her near fatal wound.
Malala Yousufzai also posed for photos in her hospital bed showing her awake and snuggling with a white teddy bear.
"She is doing very well. In fact, she is standing with some help for the first time this morning when I went into see her," said Dr. David Rosser, the medical director of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England.
"She is communicating very freely, she is writing," he said.
Malala can't speak because she has a tracheotomy tube that was necessary because her airway was swollen by the bullet wound, Rosser said. But the girl the Taliban tried to silence may be able to speak again in a few days.
"We have no reason to believe she'll not be able to talk once the tube is out which maybe in the next few days,'' the doctor said.
The 15-year-old girl is alert, he said, and wanted the photos and information about her condition to be made public.
"She's agreed to, in fact happy and keen for us to share quite a lot of clinical detail," Rosser said.
Malala was shot when the Taliban stopped her bus in Pakistan on Oct. 9 and singled her out for a shot to the head for her outspoken demand that girls be allowed an education. Rosser said the bullet entered above her left eye, went down the side of her jaw damaging the skull on the left side, went through her neck and lodged in her scapula above the left shoulder blade.
The slug was removed by Pakistani doctors, but Malala was flown to Britain for additional care and extra safety after the Taliban vowed to try again to kill her.
Despite the remarkable strides Malala has made, Rosser was cautious.
"Malala is still showing signs of infection which is related to the bullet track which is our key source of concern... It's clear she's not out of the woods," he said.
She is also facing some daunting surgery.
"Her skull will need reconstructing, reinserting the piece of bone that was removed initially or with a titanium plate. Her jaw joint may need further work down the line, but that remains to be assessed,'' he said.
The teenager had angered the Taliban with her insistence that girls be educated. She began when she was 11 writing a blog for BBC under a fake name about life under the Taliban in her home region of the Swat Valley.
She spoke publicly after the Pakistan army took back the area in 2009 and was given one of the country's highest civilian awards for bravery.

A Little bit of Common sense will not Hurt ?
See the Bullet Wound when she is on Stretcher , it is on her Forehead , Not on the Back of head that is covered , Where is the Wound now ? there isn't even a scar.
Seriously , 80% of our nation is fooled & Controlled by Media , We are too emotional to raise question or to see the reality in front of us .
the Recent Pics Show there was no head Wound , & she was never Shot in the Neck , so where did the magical bullet hit , that it pierced the head without leaving a scar & traveled all the way down to her Spine ??

The bullet entered her forehead travelled a downward path and exited through her chin/neck.
There may have been some initial confusion by the media as to the path of the bullets or how many bullets. Which is typical of Pakistani media.

I am not agree with opinion which written in pic but i need your opinion.......is this drama???
First explain whats the point....what are they trying to tell us with this picture....??? my guess is operation scar...well the bullet was removed from her spine/ near spine/ back of her head. which means she was operated at back of her head near spine (possible that why her head is cover because they might have shaved part of her head) ....the front scar is not visible because of two reasons 1. camera angel and 2nd with new method they try to make sure that face surgery scar are as much less visible as possible. my own neice fell in school few weeks ago... she literally ripped her lower lip in such a manner that we could see her teeth.... but when doctor fixed her and removed the stitches few days later the scar wasn't visible... so those who are spreading such pictures are the people who still think that if man stand on moon he will fall down on earth.

She was shot at the left side of her skull which is covered in the picture as she is wearing Hijab/piece of cloth. The damage is on left side while the picture from the hospital is showing her right and middle of her face so that particular part is not shown in the picture taken by the hospital
