Word on the street: “What was Malala’s sin?”
16
A day following the attack on teenaged Malala Yousufzai, Dawn.com stepped out in Karachi to absorb the word on the street. And there were no surprises. From students to restaurant owners, cobblers and teachers, all of the people interviewed voiced their condemnation for the attack and questioned the government’s failure to prevent such acts of terror. “If the Taliban can speak to the media, why is it so hard for the government to catch them,” they asked. Some called the teenager from Swat their daughter and their sister. Others highlighted the importance of education and people like Malala who promote it, in this fight against terror and ignorance. - Photos by Zehra Naqvi, interview by Nadir Siddiqui /Dawn.com

The price of keeping silent and not opposing backward looking policies is to be goverrned by bad people. I hope people all over the world wake up and question all religious dogmas and tenents just as we question in science. May God restore Malala to good health soon.
