Living in the west and writing books is wrong?
exaggerating is def wrong!
You would have, had they survived and received some lime light in the West, maybe invited for a speech or lecture, offered residency. Its a common Pakistani habit.
The only country so far who took steps was Turkey who invited the kids and their parents over....Dont hear them giving speeches on BBC/ CNN and whatnot
You merely asked about a single cent (or dime), the girl might have invested in the education of children. So how does it not show now? I am unaware of that, will look for that news.
I asked proof of the money BEING USED as in USED not BEING SAID IT WILL BE USED...
Again more talk I want proof of the money in action....schools built, women's lives changed...Not just talk but the actions!
You having no idea makes it false or impossible? It does happen, the bullet can divert from its path once inside the body, this wasn't the first instance of that. I am surprised that you are even arguing over that fact.
I am surprised you are arguing over this and calling it fact!
There is a remarkable difference between the neck and shoulder...
Then there is BBC/CNN vs Wiki!
Not really unknown either.
Not really known ...How many people who blog get noble peace prizes?
I have given you, the reason for that. You are free to disagree. There are more capable people on this forum than me (there must be) yet I am the chairman of TT Analysts. Would you call that a conspiracy too?
Are you being funded by the West? Are you bad mouthing Pakistan like some stuck up kid? Are you exaggerating facts? Wait you just might be
PDF is a forum posting here wont make you get a noble peace prize then again the prize is prob just a joke...
Lets put it this way...If anyone on the forum gets shot, NO foreign hospital will give them free medication....
They received help from the Govt of Pakistan however didn't go to Britiain or any other foreign country for that matter. Life didn't treat them fair.
1 article does say others also went to UK....then again many articles talk BS!
No other women was subjected to the same treatment by the opposing forces. Importance is really measured by the adversarial response and perception of threat.
Importance is given to whom the TALIBAN or the girls? So one needs to be shot in the head before they can get their voice heard on a larger stage?
Do we know this girls name? THAT is all she is described as and there are many more but none took the limelight nor ran away to claim to work from abroad.....There are people who are working on the ground where shit is happening they arent even given half the attention Malala is given!
At a women’s medical college I visited, a student told me she was from the Swat valley where she had gone to a school run by nuns. When her school was bombed by the Taliban, she saw her school friends maimed or killed. She had lost her own father in the conflict in her area. Yet here she was, determined to be a doctor, away from home and working hard.
There are thousands of girls like Malala here | British Council
Did you know about Huma Khan?
Malala Isn't Alone: Another Pakistani Girl's Dream
Huma Khan.
Huma is no celebrity. In fact, she is just an ordinary bright-eyed kid, no different from many, many million others in this part of the world. Yet she has much in common with Malala: She is 15 years old, and an ethnic Pashtun.
Like Malala, her family originates from northwestern Pakistan, an area where tradition runs deep, and whose people — overwhelmingly Pashtuns — tend to practice a profoundly conservative form of Islam.
And, again like Malala, Huma is hugely enthusiastic about going to school: "I really want to get more education," she says, perching on the edge of her wooden chair. "I want to become something. I want to be self-reliant."
Yet "becoming something" for a Pakistani girl, trapped by poverty and strict religious codes, is a truly daunting challenge.

What about Nabila Rehman?
'Nabila who?' great many will ask of the other Pakistani girl who has been casting light on a far more uncomfortable truth: drones strikes in the North Waziristan.
Nabila's story is no less moving. The 10-year-old girl survived a drone attack in 2012 (she was eight then) and has testified before the US Congress to describe the horror of these attacks. Hussain notes that the strike killed Nabila's grandmother Momina Bibi, severely injured seven children.
Nabila, along with her 13-year-old brother who survived the attack and her father Rafiq ur Rehman, a Pakistani primary school teacher, appeared on Capitol Hill last November to testify against the US drone strike and demand justice. But where the US Congress was sufficiently moved by Malala's heroism to award her a Congressional gold medal, only five out of 430 representatives showed up for Nabila's testimony, as the Al-Jazeera report points out.
The Guardian report describes Nabila's account of the attack, "Everything was dark and I couldn't see anything. I heard a scream. I think it was my grandmother but I couldn't see her. All I could think of was running." Her testimony was so moving that even the translator broke down in the midst of the hearing. But none of it could quite compare to the power of Malala's story which has a far more palatable villain, ie the big, bad Taliban.
Husain argues this vast discrepancy between the reception of the two Pakistani girls reflects the United States' priorities, where Malala "was seen as a potential tool of political propaganda to be utilised by war advocates," to justify the war on terror, which can then be portrayed as crusade to liberate Muslims from their oppressors.
Nabila's story, on the other hand, turns the spotlight on the actual human costs of the war on terror, and puts a face to what is otherwise dismissed as 'collateral damage'. She puts the focus on the tough questions about civilian deaths in drone strikes (close to 900 people according to an Amnesty International report last year), about torture, illegal imprisonment and more.
Where Malala allows Americans to play the role of the knight in shining armour, Nabila's tale casts Americans inevitably in the role of villains. Last year when Malala wasn't given the Noble peace prize, Max Fisher in theWashington Post argued that "the entire West [was] trying to co-opt Malala, as if to tell ourselves: 'Look, we're with the good guys, we're on the right side. The problem is over there.'"
"While Malala was feted by Western media figures, politicians and civic leaders for her heroism, Nabila has become simply another one of the millions of nameless, faceless people who have had their lives destroyed over the past decade of American wars," writes Hussain.
There will be no Nobel prizes for Nabila, no fawning acknowledgements of her heroism, no tears of sympathy for the plight of Pakistani girls like her, who leave alone the right to education, are not even accorded the right to life.
The other Pakistani girl: Malala got the Nobel peace prize; here is why Nabila won't - Firstpost
How many acid burn cases happen in Pakistan? in millions, thousands? Not that problem does not exist but not to a level where you film and entire documentary on it. My issue with the foreign -funded NGOs is this that they highlight negativity while hypocritically ignore any positive thing that happens in Pakistan. I love to give example of Dr. Amjad Saqib's 'Akhuwat', an NGO that distributes interest-free loans to needy people (primarily women) and help them to start their own businesses. Almost 95% loans are returned back and those who initially benefited from these loans become donor to 'Akhuwat'. Tens of millions of rupees have been distributed through Akhuwat. We talk about Grameen bank that gives off loans to poors (but on interest) but because that system in line with Western approach or economical system, it is presented as a miracle, which it is anything but. You'll never find anybody making a documentary on 'Akhuwat' or nominating Dr. Amjad Saqib for Nobel prize because anything that brings out positive side of Pakistan is simply indigestible to West and her supported NGOs.
I guess it is human nature to feed off the "oh poor you" line...
Usually the oh poor you are "neglected" and NEED the world stage....The positive side on the other hand usually requires people to ADVERTISE IT THEMSELVES....
It is the same case...You will see weeks of news about the big bad Taliban and somehow link that to Islam but never about the Muslims who do something good...
Because the CMH report was clear in this regard where Malala was first brought to before being shifted to Armed forces institute of cardiology in Rawalpindi and later to Britain, even if the girl survived (a very big when she was brought to hospital), she would sustain brain damage.
