#1 NGO = No Good Outcomes

#2 How quickly it forgot its love for Malala, the young Pakistani girl who survived a Taliban bullet to the head

And was subsequently recruited under threat of a second attempt. Or that was the game all along. Graze her skull with a low power bullet and if she survives you've got a respectable spokeswoman for 'moderate' islam into the international forums.

NGOs and humanitarian concerns are not really saints, they play in muddy waters for their own agendas, and they know who they're playing with, that most of their beneficiaries do not really deserve anything.

#3 Funny. I would think all these humanitarian groups, aid workers, social workers would be flocking to Afghanistan, seeing as how for the last 20 years they have been peacocking about how they could do Afghanistan better.

#4 Well, Malala is the same lady who blocked a lady on Twitter after she asked for her opinion about the underage Hindu girls, who are in minority in Pakistan, being abducted and forcibly converted to Islam and married off to Muslim Pakistani men and denied any contact with their own families.

Malala is about as useful to the oppressed women as an appendix is to a human.

#5 I seem to recall that Malala Yousafzai‘s father is a communist of some sort, but Wikipedia claims he is a Pashtun, the son of a Sunni imam who taught theology at a government high school, and a member of the secular leftwing Awami Nationalist Party — which stands for Pashtun autonomy within Pakistan.

Malala was well trained to puppet her father’s talking points. Whether Oxford has since taught her to think for herself remains to be seen.

#6 #5 I seem to recall that apostasy is punishable in Pakistan. Which is why I'm unable to grasp how Communists are able to exist in Pakistan. Can a Muslim really be a Communist if he/she is not an apostate?

Of course there are Christians, Sikhs and Hindus in Pakistan as well, who can become Communists. And then there was this case of Afghanistan having a Communist government as well. How does that work out; how does Communism exist in a Muslim country?

#7 ...that's a question the Chinese are working on. In the end, there can be only one.
