It’s not just Malala. The phenomenon of Leftists defending Islamic supremacism, Sharia, and even violent jihad is a veritable pandemic.
“Hijab Row: Malala Epitomises Great Liberal Tradition of Standing up for Islamist Fundamentalists,” by Utpal Kumar, News18, February 11, 2022:
Malala Yousafzai is at it again. A true rent-a-cause activist, just like Greta Thunberg and Rihanna, she has jumped into the ongoing hijab controversy in India. It so happened that a private college in Karnataka’s Udupi district barred a few hijab-wearing Muslim girls from attending classes. Malala is aghast at the college “forcing us to choose between studies and the hijab”. For Malala, “refusing to let girls go to school in their hijab is horrifying”. She adds, “Objectification of women persists — for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women.”
Malala has come a long way from being a young Pakistani girl who dared to look in the eyes of the Taliban when they threatened her from attending school. In 2012, she was shot in the head by the Islamist militia for her campaign in favour of education of girls in Pakistan. She then thought “wearing a burqa is like walking inside a big fabric shuttlecock with only a grille to see through and on hot days it’s like an oven,” as she confessed in her memoir, I Am Malala. In another book that she co-authored with Patricia McCormic, Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Changed the World, she went further: “Living under wraps seemed so unfair — and uncomfortable. From an early age I told my parents that no matter what other girls did, I would never cover my face like that. My face was my identity.”
Today, 10 years later, in the comforts of the ultra-liberal West, Malala’s worldview seems to have turned upside down: Hijab today symbolises freedom for her. It helps Muslim women fight against their sexist commodification. Incidentally, the country that awarded Malala the Nobel Peace Prize has already banned burqa and niqab in schools and colleges. She is yet to criticise Norway for doing that. In 2009, Switzerland banned minarets despite the existence of just four minarets in that country. The ban continues till date, but Malala is yet to condemn the Swiss. Maybe she thinks Asian Muslim women deserve the hijab/burqa barrier to protect their modesty!
Malala, however, isn’t an exception. She, in a way, epitomises the great liberal tradition of standing up for Islamist fundamentalists….
These liberals would work overtime to look for excuses to accommodate the extremist worldview. They would perversely intellectualise the exorbitant demands made by Islamists to give them legitimacy…

Maybe but if she is living in the UK, its not safe to criticise the burqa or anything Islmaic in the UK. India is OK as its kaffir Hindu country.
Infidel says
She does live in the UK, but I see no reason why, w/ that view, she wouldn’t have been safe in her native Pakistan
Dungrit Gomwalk says
She’s fortunate to have survived the Taliban’s bullets. But supporting hijab wearing in a predominantly Hindu country, come on, it’s hypothetical.

Do you mean hypocritical?

“She adds, “Objectification of women persists — for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women.”
Does the poor dear not know what The Big Book says?
(https://quran.com/33/59)
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments.1 That is more suitable that they will be known2 and not be abused.
Footnote 1: The jilbāb, which is defined as a cloak covering the head and reaching to the ground, thereby covering the woman’s entire body.
Footnote 2: As chaste believing women
“Hijab’s” PRIMARY purpose is to avoid “abuse” from other Qur’an readers (I.e. Muslim men) by distinguishing Muslim women from unbelieving/slave riff-raff.
That supremacist nonsense has no place in secular, 21st-century nations.
gravenimage says
Yep.
Wellington says
Just another front for evil. Only question being whether she is complicit or clueless.
Doomer says
She seems no better than the typical feminist.The reason why she says such things is her FEAR of HELL. In no other religion is hell so vivid.
In the Quran Muslims are just SLAVES of Allah.
Olga Lundy says
I’ve always hated her.
I still regret not sending her a razor to shave that back of hers.
Jack Cade says
She would be dead the moment she returned to any Islamic hellhole, but she pisses on the West, the culture which saved her life, and continues to protect herl
gravenimage says
Grimly true. Very Islamic.
OLD GUY says
Same is true for Ilan Omar here in the U.S.A. Ungrateful lot.
gravenimage says
Malala continues Leftist tradition of defending Islamic hardliners
……………………
Just disgusting–and not the first time she has done this sort of thing, either. Previously she has given money to Hamas.
Donovan Nuera says
Dear Malala: the reason you had a bullet go through your brain was….. now pay attention….ISLAM! Duh!
Infidel says
Methinks that bullet converted her into becoming pro-islam
gravenimage says
I doubt it. I imagine that except for this one issue that she was pretty pro-Islam to begin with.
Infidel says
Likely true
Dungrit Gomwalk says
Yes, i meant hypocritical, thanks for the correction.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Dungrit.
abu taleb says
We just can not trust any muslim.
Krishna says
Why such double standards you must either choose path of freedom or become Islamist sympathizer but being both at a same time will only result in no one supporting you
Spideyweb1 says
Pure demonic possession. Islam fires a bullet through her head.. and she fires that bullet right back into the heart of the infidels..Islamodystopia
VICTOR COWEN says
We, who actually think about these things and do not get carried away with press hype and people like her know for sure from day one exactly what she is and will -remain just another Muslima crackpot.
Take that rag off your head you silly little girl it’s not a fashion simply a political statement. (Yes, we know you don’t ‘get it.’
Devasur says
She is a fake activist who would even support ISIS if they give sufficient money. This trash thinks India is an Islamic country. Trash opposes it in her country but supports it non-islamic country. How hypocritical can you be?
It’s better to deport such low lives back to their country to experience freedom and education. Which she will never get in her Islamic country.
rp says
Malala never look in the eyes of the Taliban when they threatened her from attending school. In 2012, she was shot in the head by the Islamist militia and father got upset and Western Media made her what she is. Western media just wanted to show world . She never had any free thinking brain and can not even think outside the box, in other world she is not cable of having a open mind or original thinker?.
She is just a daggling on the string control by Media.
Three months before she got married she told every one she would not get married under Islamic law and then she got married under full Islamic law.
raja says
UIK did a blunder in coming to the rescue of once innocent Malala, besides allowing her to emigrate from Pak. It definitely is a good idea to expose the evils of Taliban and all the sundry terror orgs of islam but to put a new patch of cloth on an old worn out cloth was never going to work for the West in anyway.
She remained a stupid person with all the poisons of islam intact in her brains in spite of a bullet piercing her brain. He has become a hardened Islamist which is apparent in the way she criticizes anything Indian. These are useless people hardly doing anything good for the society or humanity.
Proud Islamophobe says
Isn’t this the moron who got shot in the head because they thought she was a worthless POS? She isn’t, but she sure is a stupid as one.
unbeliever1 says
Speaking of Malala, here is a timely and well-articulated piece on her hypocrisy.

Walter Sieruk says
This sadly shows and further proves that even the “educated and in enlightened ” Muslims can’t be changed on the intellectual power alone to become peaceful and reasonable.man and women.
This was proven before Malala by the many doctors of medicine and the other types of sciences ,as physics , chemistry , genetics , engineering as for fourth had abandoned their careers to become violent jihadists.
As one former Muslim had written “Education is not the answer…”
So the question remains “What is the answer ?”
The reply to that question is that Muslims need to have another faith and likewise reject the false religion of Islam.
Therefore, there’s the Bible based Christian information site which is answering-islam.org
Rahul Pratap Singh says
The almost a century old unholy alliance between the Regressive Left and IslamoFacsism has come of age across the Civilised World (“Free & Open Societies” with Free Market Economy flourishing in functional Democracies); Elsewhere, of course, they simply can’t stand one another, brutally purging the weaker one where one of it is a dominant majority or successful in grabbing power.

In the Islamo-Leftist “marriage of convenience” or Islamo-Gauachisme as the French call it; the viciously vindictive & intolerant Leftists otherwise masquerading as genuine secular liberals drop all pretensions and embrace their
maqqār & munāfiq “maukāparast-Dhimmi razākars” reality/Identity instead as they go about vying amongst themselves without any shame, scruples, self-respect, sincerity, integrity or goodwill whatsoever in order to be acknowledged and established as the favourite “usual idiot” of the Islamofacsists and IslamoFacsism.
StacyGirl says
Malala is proof that educating muslim women is a waste.
Rahul Pratap Singh says
If she speaks the truth; choses to be intellectual honest & ethically scrupulous; decides to walk the morally correct path then she will get cancelled. Her sponsors will abandon her. Her income will dry up. Her relevance end. Her settled life will be over. Quite likely she will be left exposed to local Pakistani Islamists seeking vengeance and 72 virgins once more.
Moreover no one can question her over her loyalty towards the Regressive Leftists and Islamo-Leftism. Afterall they did save her and she owes them every thing; she was rescued along with her family from that Islamic Hellhole by the relentless push made by them. It was them who ensured that she was provided the best medical intervention one can have. It was their unwavering support she recovered and it was them who established her (along with her family) in the safe, secure, comfortable and prosperous civilised environment of UK. Obviously they did it for their own sake, driven by their own shallow selfish interests but still it was them all the same who were there for her and did all that for her.
So atleast she has proved to be more grateful and loyal than the majority of her notorious “parasitical ingrate” co-religionists in UK or Pakistan.
