how about visiting palestine children?

I simply love Ziauddin Yousufzai and his smile !

Another future ruler in making!

Well done, young lady. Your spirit and eloquence are inspiration to children who inheriting a world with too much cultural ignorance and ethnic bigotry. Now wait for the detractors to squawk about how they are tired of seeing you. Don't worry, their children will remember you.

Bravo Malala! Shame on those who ridicule her.

@Aslam Shaikh - She will become an MP in UK.

@malk - You volunteer first.

can she say something against the Israel invasion of Gaza and the little children being killed every min......NO!...cause everyone knows whose agenda she is working for...probably brainwashed by now!.

@malk - Show her the way...you go first...

@malk - And get bombed after getting a bullet on the face!!!

It is sad to see this semi-literate girl from rural Pakistan with limited geo-political insight being so badly misused by people with vested interests, so much so that a whole book has been written by disgraced journalist Christina Lamb, attributed to her, using her name to malign Pakistan and its society based on twisted facts and blatant lies.

What a waste of time and money, may i ask anyone what has this girl done nothing apart from flying around the world making speeches that come to nothing, its just a big hype for nothing she spends more time in the air then in school was not that the reason she stayed in the UK to get an education do not see much of that going on. and i am aware that most people on this site may not like what i say but i do not really care.

Malala is a such an inspiring young woman!

She is such an honor for Pakistan in general, and for Pakistani women in particular! Kudos Malala!

@Harmony yes we will welcome that. But Britain will benefit more when she becomes Pakistan's PM.

@Joe FL 1000 more boys and girls are being created by drones. Maybe they should all be invited to Caribbean also

Pakistan finally has someone who is universally recognized by the rest of the World as a hero ... and she is dumped on by a good percentage of Pakistani's because your embarrassed that she reminds the World how women are treated in Pakistan. Shame on you.

@Faz Sir Ji I was present in the function ( I live in this country) and she spoke against the violence, children and women being killed in Palestine. Though she is Pakistani but I am proud of her because people like her will bring positive change in Pakistan and rest of the world. God bless her. suresh kumar

Probably she doesn't know that children are being massacred in UN schools in Gaza and we are beating drums but then one has to follow the script.

@Iqbal bhai where is your compasion. Be reasonsble.

@Harmony no body will report it.

@UFO tell one thing which is inacurate.

Pride of Pakistan!

Just wondering, as an international representative of her level, home come we have not seen or heard a single statement about palestinain children?? Just wondering.

Malala is yet to visit any Muslim country, where women and girls are suppressed of their rights.

New political dynasty being groomed. Pakistan be ready for new ruling family.

Surely, gifted Ms. Malala, will fly high, with more flying colors, world-wide, except her own 'talbanized' motherland.

The Pakistani Taliban shot a girl & the world gave her medical treatment; an education; a written biography; a biographical movie; endless awards; a fund named after her; awards named after her; a US bill named after her; educational institutes across the world named after her; a day named after her; an honorary degree from Kings College, London; honorary citizenship in Canada and several meetings with the rich & powerful. Shame no one does that when Israel bombs little girls.

@syed - true but one doesn't need praise (to be reported) for a cause like that.

@Bea - Isn't that a bit obvious here are summer school holidays now? If "speeches come to nothing" then it would be a very sad world. And don't be jealous!

How much money her father has made, can any body guess?

This could be big.

"What has Malala done", " I am tired of her", "It is a western conspiracy", "The children killed by drones and in Palestine should be honored", " Malala is spreading lies". The reality is that Malala is an incredibly articulate and intelligent girl, who had the courage to bring attention to Taliban's tyranny in Swat. This is the truth. She took a bullet in the face for that. This is the truth. The Taliban did it because they publicly owned it. This is the truth. Don't blame the west for recognizing and honoring her. For once blame yourself and tell the truth. I have a daughter, I don't know what I would do if she was shot in the face. Not everything is a conspiracy. Somethings are the dirty truth about us. Let's learn to own up to what is wrong with us.

@ Pakistani blogger. How come turn blind eye to Syrian children, about 1.3 million living as refugees, bordering Turkey and Jordan, accusing Israel. Not far Libya too is getting out of control, where many Libyans will free towards neighboring countries. Same with Iraq.

Hoping and praying that this beautiful girl may return back to Pakistan to lead us. No girl should have to go through what she has. May Allah bless her always. Proud to be a Pakistani like her.

Malala will one day rule Pakistan and bring peace and prosperity.

@Bea Shame on you. Girl from your country is brand ambassador for girls education , girls rights and now international icon

@Harmony and what's the problem with that...stop being a hater!!

@Ali don't take your frustration on this girl pal...find out from the people u voted for...she is not even 20 and your expectations without limits...can't do a good thing at least praise the ones who are doing it..."attitude towards life"

Its so strange that I haven't heard a peep from this girl about the massacre in Palestine. Is that a coincidence?

No voice from you for the women & children of Gaza..................... where are you Malala ? Off course you would not be dictated for that :(

I remember a 16 years old boy named Aitzaz Hussain martyred while stopping a suicide bomber from entering his school and he saved many lives This incident also happened in northern areas of Pakistan Just give one reason why that boy no longer remembered Just compare both personalities, why Aitzaz is not a hero Now recall the noise which media made when Malala was hit and she was not a hero till that time Use your brain and think all this was pre planned or not If you still think she is a real hero, I must say you are blind media driven sheep Immediately after being shot, she was carried to UK for treatment and doctors changed the DNA and Malala became super natural creature This reminds me death of Osama, killed by marines and immediately flushed in sea, hahahahahaha America spent billions of dollars finding him, lost many soldiers Why Americans did not celebrate the victory and showed his face or kept his body for few days more hahahahaha Becoming hero in this way is not a big deal, make one movie, bring bad name to Pakistan and you will win oscar

@Faz What is stoping you to do it instead of asking her to do it?

Malala is another icon created by Americans, she will never visit Gaza. The day she opened her mouth for Palestinian children you will never see her again.

All the Pakistani hypocrites...She is on top of the world and you guys cant handle this. Pathetic...

Please speak up for Girls in Gaza..... They may not have rewards or awards for you, but perhaps your voice may make a difference...

I have mix opinion about Malala, for many she is a hero and she deserves all the Love and support but as an Indian i feel she should also talk positive about Pakistan and do something for her country rather accepting accolades from the Western biased countries who talk negative about South Asia.

Malala is one of the few positives about Pakistan.

@Farooq Ali "can she say something against the Israel invasion of Gaza and the little children being killed every min...." Why? Doesn't anyone have the right to make money? Be happy that she is not stealing your money like your politicians.

The pure land of Pakistan is blessed as the birth place of Malala. She is an inspiration to an entire generation of youngster and more so in Pakistan. She should, and will be, the long awaited saviour of Pakistan. A true HERO and all our salutes to her.

hmm. very filmy. i wonder what is her paycheck...

@Harmony You are not getting the point. Malala has more media influence and the means than anyone else making comments at Dawn. She needs to do her part for Palestine if she is against injustices everywhere not only where her NGOs tell her to!

I request malala to raise her voice for palestine as well . .

Asking All Pakistani;s friends- I need to know why the western world is using Malala to ridicule Pakistan, what is their true motive on using her? Why would they want to do this to Pakistan? Is they say is false or their is some truth in it/

there are many Malala,s who have suffered more by terrorism in Pakistan and there are many heroic stories in Pakistan who need more attention i do not see any exceptional thing in the girl other than a point t of western media .Many children have been killed by Bombs of wars in the world as whole but western media for them

I think her father is very pushy and arranges tours for her to different countries .She is advocating education for girls but wondering when she goes to school with this hectic schedule? She is always in a different country everyday. Her father has a job in a Pakistani consulate in UK, Does he go to work?

@malk sahab how about you going to Gaza and visiting the children?

hsssshh Mala, don't you dare speak about Gaza.

@Faisal Taquie - So what should be

Jiyo Malala!!

@Mazhar Durrani On top of the world for what.....? Why doesn't the western world promote those fighting against Israeli occupation adn massacre.....

@Faz She will not be allowed to go to Palestine. She is a face of pakistan and if she can help people whats wrong with that.

Why is Malala silent on Gaza, hundreds of children have died. maybe the news haven't reached her? or her father can find no one to pay for her statement on Gaza? money talks...

Has she done anything for girls education in Pakistan?

Who is paying her visit expenses? Who she is?

@Bea she is an example to all young women everywhere to stand up against repression

@BA You should first question your leaders and not this young minor girl

@UFO It is actually quite pathetic that obscurantist ignoramuses continue to spew venom against a young girl who confronted a nihilistic, blood thirsty, death worshipping cult with resolute determination, indomitable spirit and unimaginable courage. Even when they shot her and left her dead, she rose again like Phoenix, not with her spirit broken or deeply traumatised and shattered, but with even more commitment, determination and vigour and with the same poise, grace and eloquence. Even forgiveness for that beast that shot her. Malala has made a place in the hearts of all decent, humane and compassionate men women and children all around the world. She is an icon of enlightenment and courage, respected and honoured world wide, and destined for greatness. Futue te ipsum!

@jami Her hosts are paying the expenses. Who are you?

All sarcastic, conspiratorial, negative commentators on Malala need to get a life and stop with the seething attacks. She survived a bullet to her head she will survive your hatred too.

one of my American friend told me that he does not know much about Pakistan but Malala has given him an impression that Pakistani people are warm heart and never give-up in the face of hardship. He hopes to visit Pakistan some day and help children education there. This is what Malala has been bringing back to Pakistan. Those of you who cannot handle her innocence and call her western spy should think about that the goodwill she is bringing you to you is more than your cricket team, politicians or news coming from Pakistan can bring. She is great asset to Pakistan.

for what reason she is getting award ? and don't care regarding Palestine children ? Look at the smile of her father enjoying care free.

I don't know what this girl going to be in the future, but I do hope that she would bring some changes in the way we are running this world. She is really a great daughter of a really great father.

Not even a single word against brutalities of Israel.

A big drama !!!!
