Why do you think Pakistan already "looks bad enough to the world"? Is it because what is happening there is truly bad? Denial only makes it worse.
Now when did I deny what's happening there?
I said it looks bad, not that "it's all good and full of angels but evil hindoos make it look bad"

OMG, that is so awesome and so damn confusing
To the world, It looks worse than it actually is, thanks to media (and media being backed by people like Malala). I have lived in Pakistan for most of my life and really recently too so I know what I'm talking about. All the media says is bad news, bad news, bad news. As if nothing good ever happens in Pakistan. Lots of good happens, it's just that those stories aren't as sensational as bad ones.It looks bad because it IS bad.

Of course, you will now say I'm lying and in denial and Pakistan is actually full of Taliban who burn women and kill children.
Yes, Pakistan has problems. Yes, it's Pakistanis' fault. No, we are not happy about that. Yes, we are trying to improve our country's conditions.
Which is precisely why people are protesting for better leaders and better Democracy. More needs to be done, yes, I agree.There is no doubt that good happens in Pakistan along with the bad, and that there is a continuous struggle to improve the country's conditions. But there can be no doubt also in that conditions, despite all these efforts, are deteriorating steadily and surely, by all objective measures, not just subjective ones.

The sun shines after the storm. Be a bit optimistic.
I personally have no problem with Malala or her ideals about women's education. My problem is with 2 things:
-The way the media portrays her
-Her book
The media portrays her as a normal girl who was brave enough to stand up to the Taliban and got shot as a result. The truth is that it was all because of her father, who was politically strong in Swat. A normal girl wouldn't have gotten an airlift to CMH. Neither would a normal girl have gotten transferred to state-of the art hospitals in the UK. I'm glad they saved her life, my problem is that the media story is so full of inconsistencies and it is also a slap for all the normal Pakistani girls who would never get that much attention no matter how hard they tried or how many times they got shot.
Sure, its inspirational and all, but I'd prefer it if the media just told us the truth.
Next is her book, which is a lot more about Malala's (or the co-author's/Her father's) misplaced political beliefs than about education or anything. For example, there are 149 instances of "Army" and a lot of "ISI" in the book. And all of those instances are something like this:
And then there's stuff like this:
Well Malala, what did your father want, Pakistan to join Afghanistan? India? Independence?
Now why did this book need to have this stuff in it? If I wanted to read a book about Pakistani geopolitics I would have read one that is not based on the opinions of a 16 year old girl. A very negative portrayal of the Pakistan army, which is similar to what an Indian would write. Now you know why people call her a CIA agent. (No, I don't agree with them. I just think her book could have been a lot better without all this in it)
As for the Nobel Peace Prize, I don't care anything about it especially since Obama, of all people, got one the last time.
you are utter wrongDahell man, you are married? i thought you were a teenager?

If everyone thought like you, we'd all be living in caves. Thank God very few people think like you.It is hard to be optimistic when the "storm" has raged on for two thirds of a century and shows no signs of abating. Indeed, it is outright delusion and denial to see anything otherwise, given the evidence.
Its because she probably didn't write this book. She should stick to her field of campaigning for children's education. I have respect for what she stands for, remember she is just a child, she will be used again and again to malign Pakistan. Her picture with old pervert Salman Rushdie speaks thousand words.
