The Malala Episode

Alot has been said about the brave but unfortunate girl. No doubt that what she strives for and gained so much fame for, is unprecedented. The valor and vivid committment she displayed in her age is remarkable.

Although she is the voice of many girls in Pakistan and girl-education promoter, the recent wicked incident has placed her into worlds attention and i can't keep myself from asking - why?

Questions pop up in my mind - was she the only girl that fights for girl-education? Did it have to be the Talibans whom she had to get involved with? How does she differ from girls who fight their families and social circle to be able to go to schools? I've never seen so much international attention into girl-education like this girl and the incident has created.

All these questions force me to belive that there were other motives in play. I don't actually blame those who might have intelligently orcestrated this but rather the majority of Pakistani media and the liberal creed that has followed suite. So, either they are that much naive or complicit in this episode.

Complicit? Well, everyone has its own interests to cater for.
