    It amazes me that there are people who don't think Malala deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Just... listen to her, listen to what she's saying. This is a sixteen-year-old girl who has already survived an assassination attempt -- and instead of keeping a low profile out of fear of another attempt on her life, she is STILL using her voice to advocate for girls' and women's education and to fight the oppressive forces that tried to silence her. What's more, she's not advocating an iron-fist approach. She still wants to treat her oppressors like people. Please tell me who deserves it more than she does.

      Colby Gleason Well, for one, she's an inspiration to people worldwide -- specifically, to women and girls, whose education she is fighting for. More concretely, though, she and her father co-founded the Malala Fund, which is "focused on helping girls go to school and raise their voices for the right to education," according to the Twitter. I'm not sure whether her book's proceeds went to that fund, but apparently that is/was a possibility. Throwing money at causes doesn't solve the problems, necessarily, but she's earning the prizes and recognition she is for a reason.

      ramywiles I'm 16 myself (I live in India) and you have a point, I'm inspired by her. It makes me want to get up and go to school everyday so that I can help humanity have a significantly brighter future than what we're envisioning right now (i.e., WW3 - or an event that might trigger WW3). She's absolutely right, education plays such an important role. But ignorance seems to be a thriving attitude among a lot of people these days, especially privileged people (an observation). I feel like if everyone just opened their minds instead of being blindsided by societal norms and conformed and traditional beliefs, our progression and evolution as a species would be easier. Malala is doing what she can, and she's a brave young girl that a lot of Middle Eastern students will look up to as inspiration. She'll be their motivation. A baby step is still a step. :)
      To borrow the words of a friend, "Systematic discrimination and power abuse is the most powerful form of hate. When the system is against you, there is very little you can do to fight back without being immediately crushed."

      Typical Hindu, have you not learnt anything from her speeches? She begins every speech by "Bismillah..." literally describing Almighty God's unique qualities. She knows who is directly responsible for her incredible escape from the clutches of certain death or handicap. Why do you think she doesn't need drugs to dull the pain? All she was constantly doing throughout her recovery whilst on the hospital bed was to utter her thanks to the mercy of The Most High.

    "if you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty. You must fight others, but through peace, dialogue and education." That statement was amazing, this precious angel was shot in the head by those monsters yet she still encourages peace. That is a true activist. God bless her and I can't wait to see what she does next to improve this crazy world.

Thank you John Stewart for doing your part in helping young people like this who have personally experienced the worst of what people can be try their hardest to show the best of what people can be.

      @ericfaith2810 10 років тому

      That, unfortunately, is absolutely true. That belief is also written upon the Dome of the Rock that has the name of the Noble Sanctuary. Jesus is seen only as a prophet which, if one reads the Gospels, it is quite troubling because He obviously seems to be claiming much more than that. John, if you do a study of the differing branches of Christianity at the time of Muhammad being around the 7th century, I cannot exactly recall which heresy of the time it might have been, but some of the Christians that Muhammad knew might have actually held the belief that Jesus was not divine or seen as being the Son of God. I have read this somewhere but cannot recall where. It is this erroneous view of Christ that carried over into the belief of Islam and so they state that God having a Son would mean that somehow God was lowered to the level of the human family. Maybe it was the Nestorian heresy, but I am not sure. I have heard of some Muslims however, and they are very few, that have a kind of 'agnostic' view of Jesus being the Son of God, meaning, they might 'hope' that what we believe could be true.

    • @johnstergios1129
      @johnstergios1129 10 років тому

      The Koran says Christ is not the one but when you write a book 1000 years after the Holy Bible then you can say Christ is not the one. You see the things that are Holy are the things the Bible says is Holy. Example A holy kiss a holy child a holy unction the holy men any land the Ark of the covenant passed over was called holy. The Koran calls itself Holy doesn't make it Holy.

    • @ericfaith2810
      @ericfaith2810 10 років тому +1

      John as a Catholic Christian I am taught that it is not for me to judge the writings of any other religion as being holy or not holy at face value. One MUST take into account the era of history in which sacred writings were written as well as the differences in cultural and literary expressions. Even good Jewish and Muslim scholars believe that. Sadly, anyone can impose their own meanings upon ancient texts and misuse them in such a way as to support even a radically political or militarized ideology. I have listened to audio books of the Holy Qur'an (and I say this out of respect, i.e., the Golden Rule) and I have a copy from an Egyptian translator. Now, I am no T.S. Elliot (Lawrence of Arabia), but I read in English some very beautiful prayers in the Qur'an and I choose to respect how they pray. Saint Francis did too when he met with the Sultan Salahadin. I also choose to believe that even if people could be so mistaken in this life about Jesus, His Divine Mercy endures forever, and where humanity cannot find God's Way, God's Way has His own Way of finding humanity.

    *EDIT:* a lot of people have been misreading my original comment. I am not bashing on Malala, nor am I denying the bad in Pakistan. Much of Pakistan's infrastructure has been damaged because of extremism, corruption and poverty. And yes, I realize that I am privileged because I received an education and lived a good life, and I'm not ignoring the people who are not able to do so. If I say that Pakistan has good that is widely ignored, that does NOT mean I am turning my back on the bad. What people fail to understand is that that's not all there is to Pakistan. Malala is a brilliant woman; she has done a lot for the education of Pakistan, and I am grateful. But it disturbs me how the Western MEDIA has picked up her story and is circulating it over and over again, while failing to mention everything good in Pakistan. Has anyone heard of the world's largest welfare organizer? Abdul Sattar Edhi. He's a Pakistani. How come he's never gotten any attention? So before you go on a rant about how I should be "ashamed" of myself for my "stupid" comment, maybe you should step back and read my comment from an objective point of view.
    -
    Malala is an inspirational young woman. She is extraordinarily brave, and she has stood up for what she believes in in a way that I never could. Looking at her makes me feel kind of worthless. I respect her and I admire her and I am inspired by her.
    BUT. The attention she's getting from the Western media and Western organizations is slightly problematic. I recently moved to the United States from Pakistan, and because of her story, there's a very negative view of Pakistan as a whole going around in the US. Whenever I tell someone I'm from Pakistan, I get one of two reactions: 1) "Oh, where that girl Malala was shot?" or 2) "Oh, how do you know English if girls there are shot for going to school?"
    Hmm. I don't blame these people at all, because that's the image the media projects of Pakistan. Let's see. Malala was shot in Swat, a rural area in Pakistan where poverty is rampant and poverty is a breeding ground for terrorism. But in bigger Pakistani cities, an increasing amount of girls are getting an education. The view people have of Pakistan is that girls don't get an education at all. That's not true. Look it up. There isn't such a huge gap between the male literacy rate and the female literacy rate.
    I am literate. My mother was literate. My grandmother was literate. My cousins are literate. My cousins' children are getting an education. ALL of the women in my high school have gone on to pursue higher education (whether in Pakistan or abroad).
    Another thing. The official language of Pakistan is English. Not the national language, but the official language. Most schools teach English, and some major schools have begun to teach English as a first language.
    So Malala, even though I think you're a brave woman, I think your story does more damage to Pakistan than it does good. :( And how about the 132 children killed in APS in December for being the children of soldiers fighting against the Taliban in North Waziristan? Don't they deserve recognition? Or does the fact that they were CHILDREN OF SOLDIERS FIGHTING THE TALIBAN not support Western propaganda of demonizing Pakistan as a whole?

    • @crimsonleavesfalling5224
      @crimsonleavesfalling5224 9 років тому +8

      What I believe is that we should not recognize a minority as a whole for a country, especially if we are dealing with terrorism and religion. Yet, we should give them the attention they deserve, in the case of uneducated women. Before I began teaching myself about other countries and their influence, I knew little to nothing. Unfortunately, the media decides to emphasize the terrible parts of human nature more than it does with the good parts. We tend to shut ourselves out as a country. As I began learning about other cultures, I realized that in the United States, we do not receive a full image of the many incidents that occur all over the place. It is truly disgusting when people label Islam as a terrorist religion.
      However, I do think Malala's cause is justified. Though there are many parts of Pakistan that educated, there are some that aren't. Those minorities should be heard and her message is needed for those who are blinded by hate.
      For your situation, I am truly sorry. I wish people didn't do things like this, or regard a person differently according to their place of birth. Sure, Malala's message may have been misinterpreted by those who only focus in the negative. She is advocating for equality, but human nature is making us focus on the hate that is being misread. I wish we wouldn't do such things, but is blatantly obvious that it is hard to spread love and peace.
      I hope those who died get the recognition they deserve. Malala could have died just as easily, but she was given another chance and she is taking it.

    • @aimal666
      @aimal666 9 років тому +5

      Aveyond Keiver I agree. I think what Malala is doing is justified. Her cause is nothing but inspiring, and she's a wonderful human being, and I will always defend her in front of people who criticize her cause; there is nothing to criticize. When the attack happened in December, killing 132 children, a lot of people criticizing Malala realized that those 132 children were all Malalas in a way, but the difference is, they were killed and couldn't raise their voice.
      But the fact remains that people are ignorant, and a lot of people will never do what you have done. They will never actively try to gain knowledge of other cultures and countries; instead, they will judge based on what they see in the media. And unfortunately, the media only associates Pakistan with terrorism and Malala, rather than a vibrant community who is diverse and vastly tolerant, an army that is laying down their lives in North Waziristan to fight a war on terror and a country that despite facing blow upon blow is still persevering. Again, I don't blame PEOPLE for this, but I blame the media. I wish it wasn't that one-sided.

    But then I said, ‘If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.’
    Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that ‘I even want education for your children as well.’ And I will tell him, ‘That’s what I want to tell you, now do what you want." This part made me cry.

      Gurdeep is a Punjabi name, and although there are Punjabi Muslims, they are in a minority to Sikhs and Hindus. Saudi, Iran, and Afghanistan don't have exclusive rights to Arabic, Farsi and Pashto names.
      Also, as far as you know her family could have been Pashto, migrations and cultural intermingling were a common phenomenon and continue to be to this day. My family originates from Syria and Saudi Arabia, but I still consider myself an Indian National. I am a Muslim with an Arabic name who happens to have been born in India and I am not a "self hating motherfucker" as you so eloquently put it.
      On a different note, was the hate speech necessary? Did you not listen to what this little girl had to say about respecting each other? I wanted to say a lot more and not all of it was going to be as respectful/civil as before...just try to keep other peoples views and sentiments in mind when you write a comment like that. Words have power, try not to abuse them.

      im not trying to say that man are not powerful or what but lets agree that there are certain things that a women can do and a man cannot_and there are certain things a man can do which a women cannot

      Scott Lee Clayton Muslims do speak out. Its just not broadcasted in the mainstream media. With a simple google search you will find all the top Islamic scholars and leaders have strongly condemned everything isis, al qaueda etc stand for for the purpose of defending the religion which is being hijacked by these groups with the help of the media. With that being said, it is not the responsibility of Muslims to condemn someone's crimes because they "apparently" share the same religion (in which they dont terrorists are not muslims. Goes strongly against Islamic law). You dont see white people expected to apologise for the evil young kid who murdered 9 Black people in cold blood?

She is pure goodness and deserves to go into the history books next to Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and others.

      Lora, I have read her book and seen both the movie (He named me Malala) and the documentary (Class Dismissed.) She comes from an educated family who supports her in her activism. Her Father owned and ran a school that he started 3 years before Malala was even born. Malala began reading at age 5. And her mother, as a child, briefly attended school, but became discouraged as she was the only girl in a classroom full of boys, and she wanted to be with all her girl friends. Love of education, and truth, permeates the entire family. Malala was the top student in her class in Pakistan, and won many trophies and awards, even as a young child.

      Oh, so because she is part of a religion that has a partial history of violence she doesn't qualify as an advocate for peace?
      Christianity has caused as many wars as Islam. I believe to do so you have to pervert the bible. But to me, that means perhaps in order to wage war in the name of Islam, you'd have to pervert Islam too. That's a debate left to muslims.
      I can tell you this: The only way to prevent such wars is to keep religion and state seperated. The equasion "religion + state = good" has yet to appear in the history books.
      In part, that combination of religion and state is what Malala fights against.
      And from what I see from a european point of view, that's something currently going very wrong in the US right now.

    I finished her book yesterday evening, and I have never read a more inspiring book, to think that she spoke out since she was 10 and fought all of this struggle, being shot, going into coma and undergoing several surgical procedures. It taught me that if there is wrong being done to u, u mustn't hesitate to speak out and defend yourself, don't take anything for granted and never underestimate your potential to change the world. Thank you for everything you are doing Malala.

    Well done Mr Stewart for brining this child to your show and showing the general public what is happening to poor people. I live in UK and went there for my honeymoon and know how humbled I was by the people for their kindness and hospitality.One day we stopped to see a family tending to their vegetables in the filed near the road and we decided that we will buy fresh vegetables from them. I asked them if we could pick and buy them, they said yes pick them, after I said how much? They turned around to me and said I can have them ! I couldn't do that I said its your living and I can afford them. After much insisting , our driver came over and said they will feel insulted , maybe you should just give something to the kids that were playing near by. So I did , the farmer was happy and I was happy. One evening I went for a walk near the hotel I was sating at and a local man greeted me and I returned the greeting and we started talking about how beautiful the surroundings were, as I bid him goodbye , he turned around and invited us to his home for an evening meal.I was just flabbergasted and humbled again that a complete stranger was asking us to to his home. I will never forget my experiences of Swat valley and its people. They may not have much in a materialtic way but their hearts are so true and loving. I hope that the piece loving people will get piece soon, as I would love to back there again one day.

      +spain n barca footy fan yeah because a feminist nowadays is considered being a mumbling bitch that wants equality for showing nipples and stuff on the internet as opposing to men showing their nipples. The appropriate meaning for being a Feminist is about standing up and speaking out what you need for your current place in the society, whether you want to level up, or just having equality with men, as in equality for human beings.

      @spainbarcafootyfan 9 років тому +12

      if you look at the dictionary definition of feminism, and the etymology of the word, it refers to a movement in favour of the equality of the sexes. its not females fighting only for females, even the very term 'feminism' was coined by a man. and if some feminists decide to become 'feminazis', that basically means theyre no longer feminists- so they can no longer be associated with those men and women fighting for equality- the real feminists. feminazis having a distorted perception of what feminism should be doesnt change the original meaning of the entire movement.

    To be honest, I disagree with her in the point that only education makes you better person, and the best example is her. She lives in Pakistan and yet she is more intelligent than most Americans in her age even though they have developed educational system... It's all about the parents and the home... I believe that her father is the reason that she became like that.... Raising children right and teaching them values while they are young at home rather that following celebrities and video games and fast food .... ARE the proper way to generate healthy and intelligent generation.

    • @5Bigfoots
      @5Bigfoots 10 років тому

      Crowmanhunter Honestly I think the best way to be a parent is to be selfless and dedicated to teaching your kid what you know to be right and not being lazy about it. There is no perfect guide to raising children, but you know when something is bad and when something is good, and you can teach them that. They watch you and learn from your example, so if you tell them to do or not to do things and you fail to follow your own advice, they will also. As long as you show them love and commitment for them, they will honor your teachings and adopt your self discipline.

      Robert Glover If you know what "feminism" actually means and not one of its many popular misunderstandings, you will know that Malala is undeniably a feminist--fighting for the equal treatment of women. Don't confuse the actions or words of certain feminists with the definition of the word itself. Feminism strives for EQUALITY by focusing on issues that affect exclusively women, or women more than men. It's not intrinsically misandry or some extremist ideology. Read a book, man.

      Mashaba Kabir I understand that education is important, and desperately needed. I think the reason why kids in America don't want to go to school, though, is because the system is awful- there are giant gaps in knowledge, sports in most states get almost all of the funding, teachers are underpaid and overworked, and the curriculum (set by education boards) is awful. Did you know that in over half of U.S. states, schools are not legally required to provide sex ed- and in about half of those, sex ed is not required to be medically accurate, or to cover more than abstinence?
      That's not to mention the awful pressures- it's incredibly difficult for people to get into college these days. 20 years ago, good grades was enough. Now you need good grades, a job, community service... It goes on and on. Teachers assign hours of homework and don't seem to realize that students have other classes, forcing their students to do the homework and skip sleep or skip the homework and fail the class. Students are taught useless things, told they need A and B for college, when really they need C and D. In the UK and in almost every other place in the world, almost every student takes a gap year after finishing high school before university. Here, kids are branded 'lazy' if they don't sign up for fall semester classes- over 80 percent of the seniors in my school were going to fall classes, and dozens of them had signed up for summer classes as close as three days after school ended- some simply because their parents had been pressuring them to start college and get a job. Oh, and right- on top of all the other pressures, kids are also expected to have at least one job (risking being called a freeloader if they don't.)
      Students these days are often running on minimal sleep- sometimes as little as 2 hours (Once I heard a classmate say she hadn't slept since a 2 hour nap on Sunday.. It was Tuesday.) I myself have an anxiety disorder. Fun fact- panic attacks last 15 minutes- longer than that and you're having multiples. On a regular basis, before I got on meds, I used to have frequent (at least once a day) panic attack marathons lasting almost an hour because I kept getting sucked back into the attack. What caused the panic attacks? School. I wish I was exaggerating.
      It's not laziness- the American education system is fucked and kids are snapping under the pressure.

    • @AmetafJohora
      @AmetafJohora 10 років тому +4

      Lizza C I get your point, and it is a good one, but i think that what mashaba is trying to get at here is that some kids, (not necessarily the ones under pressure they can't handle) have everything they need and view school as a chore and a bore, and would rather "have fun and be young". im not saying that it isnt important to have fun and time for yourself, which is healthy, im talking about the kids who do away with school completely with no other reason except that they feel like it. they're in a different mindset than ppl who want an education and deserve, and tbh it's kind of degrading.

    Here's my opinion. Men are stronger physically. Women are stronger mentally. Women think more than men in certain situations, and because women are more sensory (or rather, they use their emotive side), women think things through befoee jumping in, whereas a man may just move in more quickly. That's not to say this is ALWAYS the case - but in general, women have a very powerful emotional/psychological strength while men are very physically strong.

      You're wrong women can take more physical pain then any man they give birth and although it's beautiful it's much more than what men can usually handle they also never have to worry about periods and such

      Gaya k Pain is different from person to person. Saying that a woman or a man can stand more pain than the other is completely wrong. However, men are *generally* more advantageous when it comes to physical power, as that's how humans have evolved.

      Through evolution the men used to hunt for food and so men have developed more athletical skills and physique. However, in this day and age there's really no need for physical prowess even in war and conflict women can be at power through firearms. In peacetime, women are superior in every way. They have more social skills, are more intelligent. Actually, research has shown that men are more emotianal and women can make better choices under stress. So give us men a break. ;D

      King Oatmeal Care to explain how in general are women more intelligent if they are using they emotions lot more? It is very stupid to say someone is superior over the other, because it would simply not work.

    • @losanarchos
      @losanarchos 10 років тому +3

      Truth4U Apartheid? Do you know what an apartheid system is? Explain how India functions off of an apartheid system? Because there's a difference between institutional racism, discrimination, apartheid, and caste system. I know these terms appear interchangeable, but politically you face different problem with each term. So explain 21st century Indian Apartheid. And then tell me how people in two neighbouring countries with common history, and cultural influences can view the universal issue of poor education and gender inequality as only domestic issues.

    When she says "more powerful" around the 2 min mark she isn't insinuating women would be greater in terms of power, merely more powerful than they currently are. She was saying that women are already powerful. Stop getting offended at misinterpretted slights please.

      Would be a great point, except she doesn't speak Arabic. Probably Urdu and Pashto, which are unrelated to Arabic, save for some loan words. Xavier Ballinger

      Fireslave1 No she literally meant more powerful than men, because in her part of the world they have been suppressed and oppressed for so long that the women would be far far hungrier to equality and opportunity than the men would so they would surpass men. At least in her part of the world.

    When she said even women are more powerful than men i think that she was just caught up in the moment because she is so passionate about what she is talking about and i think that the taliban (who are mostly men) are preventing women from having an education thats why she felt strongly about the subject so dont hate her im sure she didn't mean anything by it, seriously im a guy and im just speechless, dumbfounded and humbled. When i was 11, 14 or even 17 all i did was normal teenager stuff but in her young age she is really mature, at a tender age she is fighting for education rights and has received a nobel piece prize, and i absolutely think she is more than deserving, even people who are in power could not even scratch the surface on just how passionate this girl is about fighting for something, she would not even hurt a taliban terrorist even though she is shot by one im just humbled.
