An assassination attempt on an innocent 14 year old girl, Malala Yousafzai, by the Taliban has managed to galvanise Pakistan and make it realise one thing very clearly - Terrorism and Taliban are bad.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.316667556762695px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.316667556762695px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just 5 days back, on 9th October 2012, Malala, all of 15 years old was travelling in her school bus back home, when it was stopped by the Taliban extremists. A masked gunman entered her school bus and shouted, "Which one of you is Malala? Speak up, otherwise I will shoot you all."</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.316667556762695px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(58, 0, 204); color: black; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.316667556762695px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding: 4px; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVTyV6wUeXARC6C9sAX6veBvXMynaHk-7zcbRmvLfRglvjOnKZKDH6CvQ0K-TnXhHfGRdolWwiRdPduE-Ym2pszgt3TWZOmaY_YdOKTC3AHBSVFw6es2B9wp463VZD7VW8zfGhGTMwuANQ/s1600/Brave+Malala+Yousafzai.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #990000; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVTyV6wUeXARC6C9sAX6veBvXMynaHk-7zcbRmvLfRglvjOnKZKDH6CvQ0K-TnXhHfGRdolWwiRdPduE-Ym2pszgt3TWZOmaY_YdOKTC3AHBSVFw6es2B9wp463VZD7VW8zfGhGTMwuANQ/s320/Brave+Malala+Yousafzai.jpg" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Brave Malala Yousafzai</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.316667556762695px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The brave girl that she was, Malala identified herself to save her fellow students.

They stayed with me in Islamabad. Malala inherited my old Apple laptop. Once, we went shopping together for English-language books and DVDs. When Malala opted for some trashy American sitcoms, I was forced to remind myself that this girl – who had never shuddered at beheaded corpses, public floggings, and death threats directed at her father — was still just a kid.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Today, she is a teenager, fighting for her life after being </span><a href="http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/09/pakistani-activist-14-shot-by-taliban/" style="color: #502d08; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-decoration: none;">gunned down by the Taliban</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> for doing what girls do all over the world: going to school. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The Malala I know transformed with age from an obedient, rather shy 11-year-old into a publicly fearless teenager consumed with taking her activism to new heights. Her father’s personal crusade to restore female education seemed contagious. He is a poet, a school owner and an unflinching educational activist. Ziauddin is truly one of most inspiring and loving people I’ve ever met, and my heart aches for him today. He adores his two sons, but he often referred to Malala as something entirely special. When he sent the boys to bed, Malala was permitted to sit with us as we talked about life and politics deep into the night.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;
