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.

If islam is a race, what race are Christians?

[iapetus_rocks]

Islam is not a race. Christianity is not a race. They are both Religions, religions followed by representatives of just about every Racial grouping on this planet.

He’s  a  lickspittle and a lackey of the left, put into this quasi moralistic position by labor .

best to ignore him and the rest of them.

[lightningdance]

so you are calling anybody who reads News  Corp papers bigots and racists? you are calling all posters who do not hold the same opinions as you, racists and bigots because they  only read Murdoch papers?

This from you after you accuse others of the same traits and yet  here you are doing just that.

Hey, I'm a  lickspittle and a lackey of the left; it's just that I don't let my politics interfere with my ability to reason. 😉

I'll respond (quickly because I am off to bed).

There is no specific word for religious discrimination. You could say 'religious persecution' but that conjures up a violence of sorts.

But the reality is that the etymology of the word 'race' is simply a grouping of people into categories based on any number of charactaristics.

Even if you look at the word 'race' (as in running race) it still means essentially the same thing - a group of people moving together towards one goal.

And untimately ANY group that is globally deemed cultural and socially significant for whatever reason is classed a race. Muslims fall into that category. Asians falls into that category. Homesexuals fall into that category. Christians fall into that category. Ad despite my dig at UFO, Australians (Christians, Muslims, indigenous, whatever) fall into that category.

I roll my eyes every time I hear "(My Muslim rant) isn't racist because Mualims aren't a race." because it is an excuse to devalue the inferences they are making.

I disagree iapetus.

Islam is not a race. It is a religion. Like catholicism. 

Muslim is a race. As are Christians.

Yes.

Not because of religion necessarily but because they are defined within a significant cultural or social umbrella.

A bit late with the retorts lightning.

Care to show me on this thread where I made those comments?

But either way, the short answer is pretty much yes for many people
