Thanks for posting it.

This article was posted on DU back in May, I think it needs an encore now.

These girls grow up to be women who fuck whoever they want. I suspect, nasty old religious men have about zero chance.

Exact timing for an encore.

It's got me reading some other really interesting articles over there, too.

It's been ages since I've visited Alternet, so thanks for the reminder as well.

don't fuck the nasty old religious men....may they never have an erection again.

Bombs and bullets create martyrs. Education and knowledge create freedom.

They hate everyone who doesn't look like them, act like them, believe exactly what they believe, have the same the same genitals as them, speak the same language as them, live in the same country they do, and have the same sexual orientation as them (or at least what they claim to have).

... has become a national mantra as she is declared a national treasure. For myself, I see her as a world treasure and I could only dream of having her clear-eyed courage, indomitable spirit, and effortless grace.

I'm reminded of Rachel Corrie ... and pray that Malala survives, fully recovers, and continues to show us the way.

It's a sad world we all live in and Malala is one shining star.

sadly this is happening in America on the religious right - just look at Texas SBOE and what they are trying to do away with in our text books.

that the tale of original sin is about eating from the tree of knowledge.

Brave men fear women. In this case a young girl.

they consider them equals.

Until they understand that an empowered woman can give more to her community, her family, her man than a woman who is under any man's control and living in fear.

clerics know that to control women is to (attempt to) control the future. It is that simple--and THIS is why fundamentalists are fixed upon women's issues.

Controls the world

:kick:

I so hope she recovers and goes on to do great things for her country.
