Taliban threatens Nobel laureate Malala 

A POWERFUL breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban threatened teenage education activist Malala Yousafzai with "sharp and shiny knives", hours after she was declared joint winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.

JAMAAT ul Ahrar, which in August separated from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) also known as the Pakistani Taliban - posted its response to the win on Twitter late Saturday.

"Characters like Malala should know that we are not deterred by propaganda of [non-believers]. We have prepared sharp and shiny knives for the enemy of Islam," tweeted spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan.
 
"Malala speaks so much against guns and armed conflicts. Does she not know that the founder of her recent Nobel award was the inventor of explosives," the spokesman said.
 
Malala, a 17-year-old education activist, survived a gunshot wound to the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012.
 
The mainstream TTP, an umbrella organisation of over a dozen groups, has not commented on Malala's accolade.
 
Malala has received praise in Pakistan for becoming the youngest-ever Nobel Peace laureate, with all major newspapers running front page stories on her achievement.

You do even though I don't agree with most of what you have said above. We make choices based on many things and I could never choose a faith based on the content of the Quran or the Bible.

I am not that into it.
Whether we choose to demonise people who are of a particular faith or not, telling them they are wrong won't change them.
Changes come with time. Make enemies of them and they stop listening and get defensive.

I understand what you are trying to say but you can't say you respect everyone for their choices. That can be taken that many of the teachings of Islam and it's radical offshoots deserve respect?

Do you respect the choice of the many Australians who have gone overseas to behead and suicide bomb?

I think you are trying to say something altogether different but it doesn't come off good. If you are not into religion of any kind then why are you defending the rights of  Islam  which enact the most sexist and barbaric practices on women.

If people don't stand up and denounce these horrific practices of Islam then they will never change they will continue as they have done and humanity will lose.

I am not rewriting your post, I am trying to understand just what you mean by it.

I make no secret of being a Roman Catholic, my choice, based on personal decisions.

I defend the rights of everyone to choose the life they lead, obviously not illegal or immoral choices.

This thread is about Religion.

Those horrific practices (and I assume you are talking about FGM) have been denounced loudly. The global community is very clear on it's stance.

The education being done by various groups in those few countries that practice it show that it is on a very steady decline in terms of rates of the event occurring. You might like to check out the WHO stats.

All other countries have strong laws about it.

And, as it has already been pointed out over and over again, it is a CULTURAL practice and not a RELIGIOUS practice. FGM was occurring in all of those countries before Islam was introduced.

Connecting it to religion is just another notch the anti-islamists would like to mark on the wall to strengthen their flimsy anti-islamic argument.

No one condemned every single Irish person for all the atrocities the IRA committed, yet by the reasoning of some posters we should have and should still do

So if anyone critisises for the treatment of women, all the sexism and second class status that is issued  on women, then that is racist and anti Islamic in your opinion?

I rest my case.

There are many horrific practices Isalm perpetrates on women, FGM being one.
