Tel Afar, primary school attacked

[Malcador]

It doesn't make you a nazi. But it does make you anti-Israel.

 

Being anti-Islam means you're anti-Islam.

Have certainly heard that enough, say Israel is bad for bulldozing some Palestinian homes, now you're an anti-Semite and probably a closet Nazi.

[Walsingham]

Oh, OK. I misunderstood the comment.

[NOK222]

But he said that to be critical of Israel was to be critical of the Nazis. How the funt does that work?

 

No, to be critical of Israel is to be considered a Nazi by some. 

 

 

 

Being anti-Islam means you're anti-Islam.

 

No one in here is anti-islam.

This is powerful stuff from a 16-year old.

She is very impressive for someone so young who has been through what she has been through

 

It also begs the question " what type of people would shoot a 15 year old girl for wanting women to be educated"

 

And these are the types of the people the West is suppose to negotiate with  in places like Afghanistan

Probably anyone who's had to deal with the prosecutor I had yesterday.

Conservatives in her country don't like her either. They wouldn't personally shoot her, but they don't like her babbling too much. 

[Walsingham]

If you're an adult of any description, and you're threatened by something a 15 year old kid says to the extent where you have to ambush and shoot them, then you really need to do a bit more growing up.

What if the 15 year old is saying he wants to kill your family or others or do something heinous ? Perfectly legitimate to blow out the back of his skull. Wonder how much security she has now, Taliban still wants her dead, I imagine, and taking her out with her profile would be big for them.

[Hurlshort]

Did any of you watch the video?  She actually says that we should not resort to violence, that we are just lowering ourselves to the level of terrorists when we do.  That is stunning to hear from a girl who has been through her ordeal.

[Malcador]

That sounds nice but I'm doubtful of it being feasible.

She is threathing the order of things in the region, which makes her a target, despite her age. Godspeed though.

The Taliban are the ones threatening the order of the region.  Her whole argument is that things have gone terrible since they entered her region a few years ago.

Didn't seem like there was much order in the region. And she is shaking things up - else she wouldn't need to campaign for anything.

She's not threatening the order. She's threatening the disorder. You can't (well, you can, obviously) just abandon a small girl who has the guts to stand up.

 

Although it seems the Nobel committee can.

[Malcador]

Oh come on, don't be dramatic.

[Walsingham]

Oh come on, don't be dramatic.

 

I'm sure there is a shy, retiring way to get shot in the head and bravely stand back up to face your attackers. The quieter you get the more dramatic it becomes.

Right, chief. Her not getting a Nobel prize isn't a statement that brown girls' lives don't matter or anything like that. No one's abandoning her to the Taliban or random jihadis any more than they were yesterday.

This is interesting. Breaks down the Koran, Sira, and Hadith to statistical data. Finds that Islam is more a political ideology than a religion.

Al it takes for Islam to be threatened is a teenage girl with an opinion.

[alanschu]

Teenage girls with opinions threaten plenty of people here in North America, regardless of religion.

[Malcador]

That's just people with opinions.

That is an interesting statistical breakdown.  However it is pretty dismissive of what it refers to as the Meccan Koran, which in my experience with many US Muslims is crux of their faith.  It also seems to miss a chance to observe how religions adapt and change with time.  Over time, Islam became highly politicized, just like Christianity.  But that hardly means it it can be defined as such in every nation.  Islam looks very different depending on where you are in the world, but the 'Meccan Koran' and the Sunnah are the basis that they all have in common.  Also the connection between the Sunnah, which are the practices of Mohammad that are supposed to be followed, and the Hadith can vary depending on the region.  What is agreed upon by Muslims in this regard are mostly the simplest steps, such as the 5 pillars.

I certainly feel threatened by Twilight fangirls.
