Malala is a shining example for all women and girls of all faiths and nationalities...isn't it sad that we look to a Thirteen-year-old for an example?
Says so much for our culture that we have trained three generations of girls to be so appearance-obsessed and self-centered that even the female American Olympic athletes were constantly judged and criticized regarding their appearance.

Sylkat :?

A fat lot of good the petition will do. We have a government that is blind in one eye to Islamic outrages.

The news mentioned people in several countries are petitioning she be awarded the nobel prize.

Can you imagine? Not only is she worthy of it (imo) but it would be a huge blow to the muslim fanatics when a little girl is recognized with the planet's highest award for standing up to them.
