Can somebody please explain how shooting a 14 year old girl in the head advances a political/religious cause?

If people did mass protests around the world and killed innocent people for the ignornat movie made by one person, what will happen after this outrageuous act? Probably nothing since the people that were protesting are extremists and cowards. I am glad to see the outpour of support for this young lady. We need more like her across the world.

It is astonishing to feel the fear to condemn the Taliban in clear terms on the national media.This incident calls for a united action in the form of rallies and protests against the Taliban.Religious leaders have to take a clear stand against Taliban or they may be counted as their supporters expecting to takeover and rule of the country in the vacuum intended to be created through chaos and confusion by these barbarians .
