Malala Yusufzai: Victim of Barbaric Terror and Dirty Politics

[p(-)0ENiX]

Bogus relatives? Don't tell me these are Pakistani opportunists.

How sickening.

The article doesn't refer to their ethnicities, but I guess it can be safely assumed that they were most probably Pakistanis. Indigenous Britons would never be able to pass as her relatives anyway. The worst part is that the medical director thinks that some people have been arrested, whereas the police spokeswoman denied those claims. I don't think there are going to be any major security concerns, but the hospital should ensure no one gets to see her except her doctors obviously & perhaps some immediate family members.

The Bestial Taliban Claim that attack on this innocent girl is justified. These animals are worse than the Nazis. Infact comparing them to the Nazis is an insult to Nazis. If the the attack on this girl is justified, then drone strikes are even more justified to wipe out these animals.

Taliban says its attack on Pakistani schoolgirl justified

Taliban says its attack on Pakistani schoolgirl justified - Yahoo! News

..ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Taliban insurgents said on Tuesday that the Pakistani schoolgirl its gunmen shot in the head deserved to die because she had spoken out against the group and praised U.S. President Barack Obama.

Malala Yousufzai, 14, was flown to Britain on Monday, where doctors said she has every chance of making a "good recovery".

The attack on Yousufzai, who had been advocating education for girls, drew widespread condemnation.

Pakistani surgeons removed a bullet from near her spinal cord during a three-hour operation the day after the attack last week, but she now needs intensive specialist follow-up care.

Authorities have said they have made several arrests in connection with the case but have given no details.

Pakistan's Taliban described Yousufzai as a "spy of the West".

"For this espionage, infidels gave her awards and rewards. And Islam orders killing of those who are spying for enemies," the group said in a statement.

"She used to propagate against mujahideen (holy warriors) to defame (the) Taliban. The Quran says that people propagating against Islam and Islamic forces would be killed.

"We targeted her because she would speak against the Taliban while sitting with shameless strangers and idealized the biggest enemy of Islam, Barack Obama."

Yousufzai, a cheerful schoolgirl who had wanted to become a doctor before agreeing to her father's wishes that she strive to be a politician, has become a potent symbol of resistance against the Taliban's efforts to deprive girls of an education.

Pakistanis have held some protests and candlelight vigils but most government officials have refrained from publicly criticising the Taliban by name over the attack, in what critics say is a lack of resolve against extremism.

"We did not attack her for raising voice for education. We targeted her for opposing mujahideen and their war," said the Taliban. "Shariah (Islamic law) says that even a child can be killed if he is propagating against Islam."

Following the attack on Malala Yousufzai, Pakistan seemed to develop a popular view that time has now come to grasp the nettle of the Taliban in their stronghold of North Waziristan. The nation swung around to the US-led international consensus that Pakistan should attack the region to end the Taliban and al Qaeda’s growing ability to stage global terrorism. There were internal contradictions, however, that stood in the way of any practical decision to carry out what the people wanted. There was an earlier national consensus orchestrated by the state against American drones that actually sent the following American message: you have foreign terrorists sitting in North Waziristan and if you don’t go after them, America will go on using drones. To counter that, Pakistan protested its state sovereignty and territorial integrity and relied heavily on the rising anti-Americanism in the country.

Hence, the first big contradiction was the anti-Americanism signalled by the religious and political parties in their post-Malala statements: that the attack on the girl should be seen as an extension of the drone-and-blasphemy problem and thus ignored. After that came the electoral fixations of various parties. Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf eyed votes in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa which irked the JUI-F relying on votes in the semi-tribal belt, stretching from Dera Ismail Khan to northwestern Balochistan under the shadow of a vague accommodation with the Taliban. Nawaz Sharif’s PML-N stuck to its line of ‘talking to the Taliban’ because of its vulnerability to the Punjabi Taliban and their hinterland elements capable of delivering suicide bombers. The Jamaat-e-Islami did not want to suffer an erosion of votes in the face of Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s refusal to revive the clerical alliance called the MMA and was, surprisingly, more decisive in its rejection of the Malala incident through its leaders Qazi Hussain Ahmad, Amirul Azeem and finally its current chief, Dr Munawwar Hasan. Malala’s ‘American connection’ began to be highlighted on the Internet. One great persuader in this respect was the intent to isolate the MQM, which seemed to harvest the post-Malala feeling more daringly than others, by calling on the army to go after the Taliban.

The ANP, despite its clash with the MQM in Karachi, decided to advocate the attack because of its virtual collapse in the face of Taliban terror in Peshawar, which threatened also to underscore the folly of rejecting the PPP-MQM decision to stage local government polls in Sindh. Deluded by the army chief’s newfound conviction that fighting extremism is Pakistan’s own war, the PPP hoped that North Waziristan would now be attacked to avenge the assassination of its leader, Benazir Bhutto, and to give it a level playing field during the coming general election, during which the Taliban terror would be the deciding factor. The PPP’s minister then suffered a deflation of his chest announcing that no attack was in the offing because the army said that a political decision was needed before it could go into the agency. This time, it did not say that it would choose its own timing vis-à-vis the attack against several communities of terrorists congregating in North Waziristan in the presence of a full complement of Pakistan’s military positioning. Suddenly, the army chief seemed keen to dispel the impression given by his remarks on Malala’s tragedy.

North Waziristan is where Hakimullah Mehsud is hiding after his near-successful attack on Times Square, New York. It is where the Haqqani network has its base from where it spreads out to Kurram Agency conducting Shia killings and attacking inside Afghanistan. It is where the Wahhabi-Takfiri Arabs and al Qaeda rank and file are located. It is where the Uzbeks and the Punjabi Taliban, holding governor Salmaan Taseer’s son, are spending rest and recreation time after destroying Pakistan’s peace. The Lashkar-e-Jhangvi is also there as a formal ally of al Qaeda together with Jundullah. Pakistan has to fight terrorism and North Waziristan is the battleground.

her family just left pakistan today to see her.

That's good to know, her family's arrival should reduce if not end such incidents.

And what exactly is sickening in this?
Its normal for patients to get visitors...

It is normal for patients to be visited by friends & family, but it isn't normal for random individuals to show up claiming to be relatives. Let's not forget that an attempt was made at this girl's life, that is why the claims of bogus relatives attempting to visit her is a bit more disconcerting. The police's investigation should shed more light on the identities of these visitors; people are just going to have to remain patient for more updates before jumping to conclusions.

I am sure there are people pretending to be her relatives so they can get a visa and go to UK illegally.

Huh!? The people that pretended to be her relatives are already in the UK, why would they need a visa?

No arrests were made,so there is no ongoing police investigation.
In Pathaans 'kalaiwaal' and distant cousins or even people from village across the hill....all count as 'relatives'.

According to the article; the police's spokeswoman claims that they are investigating the incident even though she confirmed that no arrests had been made. Distant cousins are considered relatives, but we do not know if those attempting to visit her were her relatives at all. Furthermore; people from a "village across the hill" aren't necessarily relatives, neither would most societies consider them such. Assuming that they do turn out to be her relatives, her parents must be the ones to decide who gets to visit her.

At this point nobody will be allowed anywhere near here except necessary medical staff and some officials of Pakistani embassy....
The fanfare can be left for later...

Obviously, & I presume her parents will be allowed to visit her as well.

The fanfare can be left for later...

If you mean that visitors shouldn't be allowed until her health improves then I am going to have to agree with that.

Have you forgotten the Olympics episode when people pretended to be related to the athletes or fake coaching staff so they could travel to England.
