Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Taliban: Malala “a soldier against Islamic society and teachings of Islam”

Dec 12, 2014 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

MalalaMalala has donated $50,000 to UN schools in Gaza that are tools of Hamas, so it is the Taliban’s anger at Malala that is short-sighted. In Gaza, she is effectively aiding the same cause for which they are fighting.

“Taliban slams Malala over Nobel prize, calls her ‘soldier against Islam,'” AFP, December 12, 2014:

The Pakistani Taliban hit out at teenage education activist Malala Yousafzai over her Nobel peace prize on Friday, slamming her as a “soldier against Islamic society”.

Malala became a global icon after she was shot and nearly killed by the Taliban in October 2012 for insisting that girls had a right to education.

The 17-year-old vowed to continue her struggle for every child’s right to go to school when she collected her Nobel at a ceremony in Oslo on Wednesday.

She is the youngest ever Nobel peace laureate, and the first Pakistani to claim the prize, but some in her home country condemn her as a Western agent — including the militants who shot her.

Muhammad Umar Khorasani, spokesperson for the main faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) headed by Mullah Fazlullah, told AFP that Malala had won the Nobel prize for “promoting Western culture, not education”.

Pakistan’s patriarchal society often relegates women to subservient domestic roles, but Malala has praised her father Ziauddin, a schoolteacher, for encouraging her to pursue her dreams.

The militant spokesperson singled him out for criticism.

“Malala’s father Ziauddin has made an agreement with the Western powers to destroy Pashtun culture and Pakistan,” Khorasani said, referring to the dominate ethnic group in the country’s northwest, where Malala is from.

“Her father is using Malala as a soldier against Islamic society and teachings of Islam.”…

    Malala is nothing more than a stooge planted by liberal media & other libtard forces running this world. They want to divide public opinion about mohammedan violence -mandated in koran- by championing this muslima they want us to believe that there are peaceful & progressive muslims who need our support.
    Sadly, her actions doesn’t matches her words. She paid $50,000 to rebuild schools in Gaza, which were, & will be used again, as armoury & batteries to fire thousands of rockets on unarmed Israeli civilians. If she had any real concern about child education she could have used this money to build new schools in other poor countries outside war zone.

    In Malala we have an icon of hope, a hopeless hope. As with Hirsi Ali, the West is pleased to see someone standing up against aggressive injustice, misogyny. This makes us feel good about ourselves for feeling for an oppressed woman, but that’s as far as it goes. Islam poses other threats besides misogyny, even graver threats. But we celebrate this young woman for daring to speak out despite the danger of doing so, a victory for free speech. But we dare not discuss *why* her speaking is dangerous to her personally, much less speaking out on the immediate dangerous threats to all of use beyond mere misogyny. So we have a hopeless hope to solve a problem that kinda sorta exists.

    Cowardice is a big problem nowadays, and confronting unhappy reality is our greatest fear. Terror, really.

      Malala advocates for education, Hirsi Ali advocates against islam. Not quite the same thing.

      ”In Malala we have an icon of hope, a hopeless hope. As with Hirsi Ali, the West is pleased to see someone standing up against aggressive injustice, misogyny. This makes us feel good about ourselves for feeling for an oppressed woman, but that’s as far as it goes.”

      Actually, APF, I don’t think there’s any real similarity between the two.

      The 17 year old muslima who gets the ‘Peace’ prize is lauded for taking a bullet for education, even though she not only accepts all the rest of the revolting slamic claptrap, but has donated $50,000 of her prize money to a terrorist organisation dedicated to murdering Israelis, and destroying Israel.

      Her appeal is a) being young, c) an obvious victim of a murder attempt, and b) she doesn’t say anything truthful about islam, so most people can carry on holding on to their fantasies a bit longer. Plus, I expect, she plays into a lot of people’s anti-Semitism, and hatred of Israel.

      Ayaan Hirsi Ali, on the other hand, is operating under a *huge* disadvantage; she is telling people **truths about islam, and living as a female mohammedan**, which they don’t want to hear. The fact that she’s a beautiful ex-mohammedan, with a brown skin, isn’t enough to trump the desperate desire of many to continue believing in a fantasy.

      Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not positing a fantasy Islam, nor is she still Muslim. She is, like Robert Spencer, warning the free West (or what is left of it) about the threat that Islam presents to us and our values.

      Malala is still a muslim and I expect she always will be. She is not anti Islam she is anti the policies of the Taleban, especially the prevention of eduaction. Many Muslims are against the Taleban and many thousands have paid with there lives. People like to see her as the face of moderate Islam.

    So the Taliban attacks Malala’s standing as a Muslim and she refutes them, saying it is THEY and ISIS etc who are not Muslim. (as quoted in other places than this article)

    How do we resolve this standoff?

    In the case of Islam, the solution is simple – whichever party is more ready, willing, and able to invoke any and all violence to buttress their claim, is the “true” Muslim and best represents Islam.

    Sorry Malala, you lose…..

    How can the kuffar ever understand the intricacies and true nature of Islam if so many Muslims just don’t get it either?

    Malala has developed a critical and analytical mind( at an age where most are playing with toys) at a level most muslims never will.And she has paid a high price.
    Blaming her for donating money to a school in gaza is not fair.
    She(like most muslims) is still believing in a peaceful islam which does not exist and that education will make islam peaceful.
    She does not know how and what hamas really is and she may need another 17 years to find out.

    Her noble peace price is of course just propaganda(look at her ,she is the real islam)like the price for the EU
    but considering who already has gotten this price(messengers of Death Obama&kissinger)
    it was not that undeserved.

      I also come down on the side of appreciation for her courage, defying Islam’s pathological thugs so that women can be educated.

      Yes, she is very naïve, but such wishful thinking is usually a companion of young life-stage humans.

      If we want to come down hard on persons who REALLY deserve an auger up their buttocks for persistent willful stupidity, there are plenty of fools standing in line . . .

    Malala illustrates a point: Muslimas should NOT be counted as allies, in any way, shape, or form. The only reliable ally is a Muslima who has formally renounced Islam.

    Having said that, Malala is not a bad person, and should be treated decently by our society, not because she will contribute to the fight against Islam, but because our society is decent, and encourages people to grow. Malala is a resonably bright 17-year old, with a father that uses her to express his own semi-liberal ideas. The Nobel committee that awarded her the prize obviously wanted to encourage “moderate” Muslim thinking, throwing considerations of actual merit out the window. Although the credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize is so shot already, there’s barely any left.

    The situation of Malala is somewhat like the situation of the Amadiyyas: threatened and persecuted by the canonical Islamists, but still loyal to Islam and serving as a backup to blunt any Western revulsion at Islam itself. Malala serves as an example of “liberal” Islam.

    In sum, we support Malala not because of who she is, but because of who we are. But, we should have no expectation that supporting her and publicizing her will have any effect on the malevolent effect of Islam itself.

    Moslems ALL support the same evil philosophy. They just get all angry and murderous to one another over the details and when one party or another feels slighted and made to look bad. But, ultimately, though they murder many of each other, they are all on the same page. Malala and the Taliban are merely two sides of the same coin which hates itself.

    Malala gave her noble peace prize to Gaza as if the schools in her village were any good ….I cannot inder stand why she did not think of her own country or her own village? What was she trying to achieve? Produce more Jihadies?

    “Pakistan’s patriarchal society often relegates women to subservient domestic roles,”

    It’s not the society, stupid. It’s the religion.

    Aisha’s (Muhammad’s child bride) duties included the constant task of washing the semen stains off his (Muhammad’s) clothes.

    “In case I found that (semen) on the garment of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) dried up, I scraped it off with my nails.” (Sahih Muslim 002.0572)

    We all need to get more realistic, Malala included. She has no chance of achieving her goal of women’s education while the Islamic society around her reads the Koran. Maybe she should read it between idealistic speeches, courageous though they may be.

    As for us . . . we keep shooting ourselves in the foot! The only thing slowing Islam is their rolling on the floor with laughter.

    I have a lot of respect for Malala, but she is still a naive child in many ways. She does not understand her own theology very well.

    I know this is late to comment on Malala, but I, too, wonder just in what manner did she
    “Advocate?” We know she didn’t march or goon TV to “Advocate.” Perhaps just going to school was advocating, but I think she was on a bus with other students when she was shot. As I recall, one of them was killed during the incident. I guess she “Advocated” too. Malala has no idea what she is, what Islam is, and how she is a slave to it. As long as she wears that ridiculous misogynistic garb she will never be a free, complete human being.
