I heard 14 year old Malala Yousufzai who was shot by the Taliban described as another Rosa Parks. In a recording of an interview on the radio today, she said her ambition is to become a politician and work for social justice. Just as Rosa stood firm against racism, will Malila do the same and finally bring to an end Islam’s subjugation of women?
i wonder some make these sorts of comments, " from our easy chairs, as though we don't, or haven't had some sort of life, contributed perhaps to solving the sizeable problem of women and equality, and not just making comments on a website.
Baldric, no one is suggesting otherwise. She can hardly be forced to continue if she decides she doesn't want to - but I suspect this will strengten her resolve rather than weaken it.
Dissent, however seemingly insignificant and ineffective, has to start somewhere – hence the comparison with Rosa Parks. The utter madness of radical Islam can only be changed from within – no outside force will ever influence it - and looking at the women with their banners supporting this brave little girl, hopefully this is where it begins. Go girls!!
Good luck to the lass but how much hope can be held out for protection if she returns home when her home-grown politicians cower in fear not daring to say a word against those who attempt to murder children?
I'm sure their cojones will drop if and when these animals are flushed out into the open and hunted down like the cowardly curs they are.
all the best to malila and how much she has achieved while living with day to day persecution of women at the most basic level, in an islamic society. i will never understand how low, women are considered there,and how much it is tolerated by western islamic men. malila is certainly a well earned rosa parkes :-)
