Malala Yousafzai and the White-Savior Complex:

Post by SavySallySupersedes »

Ask yourself this: If Malala was killed by a U.S. drone, would we know her name?

"The Western savior complex has hijacked Malala's message. The West has killed more girls than the Taliban have. The West has denied more girls an education via their missiles than the Taliban has by their bullets. The West has done more against education around the world than extremists could ever dream of. So, please, spare us the self-righteous and self-congratulatory message that is nothing more than propaganda that tells us that the West drops bombs to save girls like Malala."

While it's true, the writer also blatantly ignores The Taliban and the cultures in Pakistan/Afghanistan that simply hate women. Pashtunwali being used to oppress them.

The Taliban even closed Sharia courts cause some of them think Sharia is too liberal.

Afghanistan/Pakistan is extremely complicated. Invaders never succeed in Afghanistan and the USA has failed because the USA thinks it is immune to history. I'm against the occupation. You have the dynamics of the ISI helping the Taliban and all this other crazy stuff.

The Taliban is mostly dominated by the Pashtun and they use their Pashtunwali which has many contradictions with the Sharia of Allah SWT. I have a friend whose father was kidnapped by the Taliban (and later released) and he told us about how some of these Taliban prefer their own tribal laws to Sharia ESP with regards to women cause they see the Sharia as too liberal. Honor Killings are haram in Islam but it's part and parcel of Pashtunwali.

:? My problem with Malala is not that her name which eerily reminds me of a Swahili name -"Malaya", bur my problem is with her new found 'attitude'! :roll: OR AIR OF ARROGANCE. The girl has a ferocious arrogance. I sympathize her situation as she is an inspiration, she survived a close death, a bullet through her head by an idiot, insecure Taliban wecel. My problem with "Malala" is the way she stands at a podium preaching while making very strange face gesticulation, channeling Nelson Mandela, and waving a finger as if she is throwing some magic spells in the air. :x

She is Not pretty in the face, she barely wears ANY credible or visible make up, and she trots around expecting people to make a royal curtsey in her majesty presence. (MIND YOU, she is just 16 years old, have some respect nayaa lol) NO! Absolutely NOT! Go away please! :-@

Sigh. It has nothing to do with race or whatever colonial bullshit you read off a blog. It is simply politics. Realpolitik. The Taliban don't do themselves any favours, and America/UK have capitalised on the Taliban's primitive politicking. Detach morals, ethics and ideologies from politics, especially foreign policies. States ensure their survival and their moral high-ground through any means necessary. Your naivety and childish demeanour is very painful. It isn't Pigskin McWhitey's fault that a bearded bastard decided to open fire on 15 year old, in the name of Islam.

Are you retarded, or did you start college this fall? Is it Sociology 101? Come back after you finish it.
