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.

I think we are all adults on here so name calling and snipes just devalues the debate.
Everybody deserves an opinion and they don't deserve to be disrepected, as some on here have said, they respect everybody's choices didn't they?

Extremely unlikely I would say you (or anyone) was a liar on here, since I have had no personal dealings with you, nor you with me.

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.
What case? You didn't have one to begin with.
As I said (and I realise I am banging my head on a brick wall), FGM is not an Islamic practice. Nor is it any religions practice. It is a CULTURAL practice.
As an example - FGM is rife in Ethiopia and Kenya. In Kenya where the Muslim population is approximately 7%, the largest majority of girls who undergo the procedure in both of these countries are Catholic and Protestant girls.

Excuse me, what do you mean? or are you just disrespecting my opinion. How rude
No I am not disrespecting your opinion.
I am "disrespecting" (if that is the word you want to use) the figure that you presented as a fact - that 10% of the population in the UK is Muslims (untrue) and that there is an agenda by Islam to acheive 10% conversion to Islam in other countries which is...I dunno...made up maybe?

Sorry.
Didn't realise that alerting someone to incorrect statements so that they can have a better understanding of what they are actually agreeing with is called "BULLYING" these days...
Lol.
