But Islam is also in Pakistan.

So is Christianity, Hinduism, Atheism, etc.

No adherents of the above were the ones who in the name of Islam shot a young girl in the head for advocating education for women.

That doesn't mean all muslim people share the view of the extremists who shot Malala.

It's muslim people themselves who are fighting for the rights of females and for the right to an education.

Such a strong little girl. And Tas agree, the timing is perfect.

I hope everybody watched the interview with this remarkable young woman.

(Especially those here who are so anti-Muslim without knowing why)
