I am not Malala, I am Muslim, I am Pakistani: “The book is written with the aim to reveal the truth and counter anti-Islamic propaganda and expose the nefarious designs of anti-Islam forces.” The funny thing is that Malala herself insists that everything she stands for is completely Islamic, and that the Taliban and her other opponents are misunderstanding and misinterpreting Islam. So how did the All Pakistan Private Schools Federation (APPSF) end up among the misunderstanders?
“‘I am not Malala’ launched,” The Nation, November 11, 2015 (thanks to Loren):
ISLAMABAD: ‘I am not Malala’ — a rebuttal of Malala Yousufzai’s memoir ‘I am Malala’ — was launched yesterday to counter the narrative. The youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize Malala Yousufzai’s book “I Am Malala” was published in October 2013 that was co-authored by British journalist Christina Lamb. ‘I am not Malala, I am Muslim, I am Pakistani’ is a story of gallant Pakistani daughters and sons who take pride in being Pakistanis unlike Malala, said the author of the book, Mirza Kashif Ali, President All Pakistan Private Schools Federation (APPSF).
“The book is written with the aim to reveal the truth and counter anti-Islamic propaganda and expose the nefarious designs of anti-Islam forces,” he said. The association that represents 173,000 private schools including the elite schools systems that banned Malala’s book last year in all private schools and colleges terming it highly ‘controversial’.
The association is going to move the court on November 13 to ban “I Am Malala” across the country, Mirza announced. “Malala is the darling of the West and Shiv Sena. Those who created al Qaeda and ISIS created Malala. Why is Malala’s father Ziauddin Yousafzai working as education attaché in Pakistani mission in Britain and UN?” Mirza….
Mirza said “Malala termed Satanic Verses – the book of Indian origin British novelist Salman Rushdi [sic] – as freedom of expression and never uttered a single word of condemnation against the blasphemous sketches. Why she never uttered a single word of condemnation against Israeli aggression or brutality in Gaza or against the atrocities of Boko Haram in Nigeria.”
“She has formed strong nexus with Salman Rushdie and Bangladeshi writer Tasleema Nasreen, and also believes in their ideology,” he alleged. “Malala says that she does not fear the Taliban any longer but will she return to Pakistan if she has no fears?” he questioned. “She will never do so because she will lose support of her masters and the easy money flowing in,” he further alleged.
Kashif said the APPSF went on a countrywide strike when Malala was attacked and the entire staff and students of private schools expressed solidarity with her. “We are not against her but the ideology being imposed on us by such traitors and billions of dollars of Malala Fund are being used for this to introduce secular curriculum.”

Westman says
What a great indication that the fruitlessness of Islam is becoming apparent to Pakistanis. It is the Imams who are fearful of losing “the easy money flowing in”.
And, “secular curriculum”? If Pakistan ever hopes to catch up with India, a nation with a space program to reach Mars, it must teach the secular hard sciences or sink into irrelevance and a possible failed state.
With modern communication, the world is networked to the degree that no society, other than North Korea, can fail to see its relative place in the world and the ranking of its accomplishments.

Why would Muslims want to go Mars, when they can instead go to Al-Jannah brothel where 72 whores are waiting for each of them.
revereridesagain says
That sums it up. For the Pakistanis, and Muslims in general, mythological fantasy eclipses science every time. Especially if it involves sex with recyclable virgins.
What has Mirza got against Boko Haram? Professional jealousy?

Correction.
Not “whores” but “Houries”
Christianblood says
What is difference Ayesha? Houris are islamic whores in the islamic sensual paradise and it is all about sex. Will females who are good muslims also get “houri” men to satisfy their sexual desires in this heavenly islamic brothel house? Why not?
JIMJFOX says
Don’t you mean “White Raisins”?????
Westman says
I find the “recyclable virgins” reference hilarious. Even in Jannah women are pawns.
I do think that many of the migrants are disappearing in Europe precisely because modern communications gave them a fore knowledge and education of how things work in Germany and Sweden. The internet is becoming a world-wide educator for better or worse.
Angemon says
That much is true, I’ll give him that. Devout muslims created Al-Qaeda. Devout muslims created ISIS. And devout muslims shot Malala, which made her into a celebrity.
Don McKellar says
That is exactly what happened. They are right and they don’t even know it — because they’re right not in the way they think they are. Typical moslems.
Don McKellar says
Malala is doing her part to soft-sell Islam on the world stage, don’t they know that? That little creepy monster has done more to advance sharia law than they ever will as she’s the politically correct media darling. The media elite will never, ever actually open up the texts she’s selling and have a look for themselves and realizing they’re promoting a nightmare world view. These anti-Malala moslems must realize that, don’t they? Or maybe they’re in on the whole scam?
I have to scratch my head when I see things like this or the Islamic State railing on about how they’re against Obama. In both cases, the soft-sell Islamic spokesman/woman is advancing Islam and making things better for the hard-sell mad dog murdering jihadis. They have a mutually beneficial relationship. Their end goals are the same.
mahghan says
Your comment on that girl is very cruel. You sound like a true Muslim. Are you one? She is inconsequential in the harsh political arena of today’s world. The problem with her and millions of others is that they were born into the wicked cultures that Islam nurtures. That’s her plight and her fate. What is she supposed to do? Denounce Islam? She just doesn’t have the knowledge of Islam of the psychological fortitude to do that. Just her sad lot.
JawsV says
“What is she supposed to do? Denounce Islam?”
Yes. In addition, the above poster is not a Muslim and neither am I. But Malala is a problem because she keeps defending Islam.
gerard says
Malala is a teenager. It’s still early days yet for her. Maybe that’s what Mahghan meant. I have to admit though, I find any kind of Islamic apologetic nauseating.
Don McKellar says
I EXPECT HER TO EDUCATE HERSELF ON THE TEXTS OF THE DEATH CULT THAT CREATED HER SITUATION AND INJURIES, AND DO THE RIGHT THING LIKE AYAAN HIRSI ALI AND EMERGE AS A REAL HERO — NOT AN APOLOGIST FOR ISLAM LIKE MALALA IS. THAT’S WHAT I EXPECT, MAHGHAN.
revereridesagain says
Yes — know the difference between the real heroes and the media darlings. Hirsi Ali stands up against all of Islam on her own, and is despised by much of the useful idiot media for it. Malala stood up against the Taliban jihadist thugs, an act of great courage for a child but incomplete without a repudiation of Islam. Perhaps she will come to that realization herself one day.
Gray says
Don McKellar’s description of Malala is dead right, and entirely justified. The vile little Malala creature can’t see anything wrong with Islam, even though it tried to kill her.
Judi says
Yes, Gray and Don. I agree. I seem to remember she decided (as a goodwill gesture) to donate the money she received for winning the Nobel Peace Prize to the citizens of GAZA. Doesn’t that give you an insight as to her agenda. She’s a phoney!!
JIMJFOX says
She was 14 when shot. WTF do you expect?
She is still naive and lacking in knowledge- but she will mature and come to realise her faults…
Wellington says
Just substitute “Nazism” for “Islam, mahghan, since Islam is just a spiritual version of fascism. And so would you still stand by your statement? Yes, she’s a pawn in a very large game but the girl gave some of her Nobel Prize money to Hamas in Gaza. Think Hamas barbarians (excuse the redundancy) will build schools with it instead of buying more cement?
Bottom line: A pawn giving cover to malevolence should not be accorded any approbation by people of sense and knowledge. Pity, perhaps, but never approbation, though this is exactly what has occurred.
JIMJFOX says
Agreed. Anti- Malala ignorami are the sick morons who love to criticise but haven’t her courage.
They don’t understand a thing about Islam; not the lifelong indoctrination and fear of Allah that must be overcome. So easy to sit behind a keyboard and pontificate…
One day I believe she will mature and apostatise, after reading the koran and realising the utter bunkum it contains.
She is criticised for not returning to Afghanistan and her Taliban friends.
A certain death sentence- which, by the way she is under wherever she lives.

Don, this is what Robert Spencer refers to as the “fast Jihadists” and the “slow Jihadists”. The slow Jihadists whitewash Islam, and the fast Jihadists condemn to slow Jihadist just expose Islam in all its savagery.
I think I’d consider what Mirza Kashif Ali is doing as the “somewhat slower Jihad”, since this is also generally a whitewash.
In the end, it’s all just a matter of tactics.

Ex-muslim says
Muslims everywhere are defending their evil cult in any possible way they can whereas so-called Christians are divided and are ignorant and even hate and despise their Christian religious background.
To people like me, it is mind-boggling and I can’t understand it! One has to give muslims credit in their wholehearted passion to defend their evil religion. I wish Christians were like that but Western Christians hate their own and are siding with muslims. All other religious groups: Budhists, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs are ready and willing to defend their respective faiths but Western Christians replaced their faith in Christ with (liberal humanism) and despise their own. I give credit to Eastern Orthodox Christians such as Russians and Greeks and others for not being ashamed of their Christian faith and for rejecting Western moral relativist such as LGBT moral corruption that the Western world is pushing to export in the guise of liberal democracy.
revereridesagain says
But you’ve already discovered what can bind Western Christians together, ex-muslim: hating atheists and other “secularists”. We will make useful human shields one day, don’t sell us short.

I fully agree with you Ex-muslim. The biggest disagreement between Russia and the West started few years back, when Russia repeatedly rejected to adopt Western moral relativist LGBT agenda and criminalized “gay” propoganda to school minors in Russia.

Pakistan created Malala. She’s a pretty even tempered thoughtful young lady.
Maybe there are more where she came from? Let’s hope.
gravenimage says
I wouldn’t count on it, El Cid. Malala–as she herself has admitted–is mostly the creation of her secular father. Not a lot like him in Pakistan–especially not these days.
And even she–as Wellington notes–has endlessly whitewashed Islam itself, and has donated much of her Nobel Prize money to the murderous Hamas.

Pakistani teachers launch “I Am Not Malala” to counter “anti-Islamic propaganda”
……………………..
Admitting that girls wanting to get an education without being shot by the Taliban is “anti-Islamic”.
More:
ISLAMABAD: ‘I am not Malala’ — a rebuttal of Malala Yousufzai’s memoir ‘I am Malala’
……………………..
How is it a rebuttal–are they claiming that girls and girl’s schools haven’t been attacked by pious Muslims like the Taliban? That would be a difficult claim to make–but pious Muslims care nothing for reason.
More:
‘I am not Malala, I am Muslim, I am Pakistani’ is a story of gallant Pakistani daughters and sons who take pride in being Pakistanis unlike Malala…
……………………..
Yeah–if you take issue with Mujahedeen shooting you in the head for going to school, surely you are not a proud Pakistani. Do they even realize that this is what they are saying?
More:
The association is going to move the court on November 13 to ban “I Am Malala” across the country, Mirza announced. “Malala is the darling of the West and Shiv Sena…
……………………..
Shiv Sena is an Indian political party. Pakistan believes that anyone who criticizes any aspect of Pakistan must perforce be pro-Indian.
More:
Those who created al Qaeda and ISIS created Malala. Why is Malala’s father Ziauddin Yousafzai working as education attaché in Pakistani mission in Britain and UN?”
……………………..
And this makes even less sense–first, that Malala and her father are too Western, then that they somehow support Al Qaeda and ISIS–despite the fact that they would be as opposed to girls receiving an education as is the Taliban.
Again, though, reason has never been a Muslim strong suit. It is also a trait of Muslims to assume that anyone who disagrees with them is somehow allied with *all* of their opponents, even if this makes no cogent sense.
More:
Mirza said “Malala termed Satanic Verses – the book of Indian origin British novelist Salman Rushdi [sic] – as freedom of expression and never uttered a single word of condemnation against the blasphemous sketches. Why she never uttered a single word of condemnation against Israeli aggression or brutality in Gaza or against the atrocities of Boko Haram in Nigeria.”
……………………..
Again, this makes no sense–here they are condemning both brutal Jihad (but only if committed by a group they don’t like) with civilized *defense* against Jihad.
Of course, Malala herself has been similarly schizophrenic when it comes to Islam–but at least she is not defending thugs who shoot schoolgirls in the head.

“We are not against her but the ideology being imposed on us by such traitors and billions of dollars of Malala Fund are being used for this to introduce secular curriculum.”
My granddaughter, just turned 13, held a bake sale of gourmet cupcakes in Foody Town Portland, OR, and raised $800 for Malala’s foundation. She worked her little buns off, and we were proud of her and her co-bakers.
I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around these naysayers to Malala, their enmity towards her. Let’s not forget that the first thing that happened is that Malala as a young girl of 14 she was shot in the face as she traveled on a school bus by Taliban thugs making a “political statement” against young girls being educated in a western way.. She survived her injuries after availing herself of western medicine through the kindness of nations..
Surely a swerve to the secular curriculum is a desireable thing? I still have to read the comments, where I’m sure I’ll be enlightened by the anticipated thoughtful smart reactions. Cheers! quotha raven.

Now I don’t get the option/request to “confirm”…and I haven’t been getting any followup comments, although I always request and confirm them . I cannot get this fixed through WordPress whom I cannot contact any customer service or tech help to iron out my options.

My granddaughter read Malala’s book at twelve and did some further research and decided she wanted to support Malala, whose story began when she was shot by Taliban thugs in the face on a school bus.
Taliban was making a disapproving statement via terrorism about how they respond to educating girls in a western educational tradition.
This extraordinary young woman has only just turned eighteen, and I am eager to give her a bit of space for the decisions she’s made and the actions she’s taken in a complex context. I find it mean, just personally hostile for people to refer to Malala as “vile” and various other unpleasant names.
It’s not hard to imagine a girl that age living that history being vulnerable to being used by factions who woo her.How hard and how accidental would it be for her to be used as a “sock puppet”? She is at a very impressionable age. I say give her a break and take instead a look at the reality of this situation without being so judgmental..
Cheers!

Like, millions of Pakistanis wouldn’t move to the UK tomorrow if they could, to benefit from the “easy money”(also called the Dole) for doing nothing? She will never go back because Islamic nutcases will likely kill her.
