People of Pakistan |
Salam, First let me say that this little girl has more courage then most men in our country. I find the fact that the Taliban is So WEAK they must try to murder a young girl who voices her opinion and wishes to educate herself an actual threat a showing of what a COWARDLY bunch of men they are. Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said his group was the one behind this attack. I URGE ALL TRUE MUSLIMS TO FIND Ehsanullah Ehsan AND BEAT HIM TO DEATH. SEND A MESSAGE TO THESE PEOPLE THAT WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!!
