MALALA WAS NOBODY UNTIL THE TALIBAN SHOT HER

 
 
"They are afraid of educated women.
They are afraid of the power of knowledge." -
Malala Yousafzai
 
Although the Taliban promises to try to kill Malala again if they get the chance, she continues to fight for her cause and encourages all of Pakistan's sons and daughters to pursue an education. (Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

Malala Yousafzai was just 15 years old when a would-be assassin shot her in the head as she headed home from school in Pakistan.
 
Isn't it ironic, even poetic, that this young girl
who would not have been noticed anywhere,
was made famous by her worst enemies?
Poetic Justice! Bravo Malala !
 
Malala is absolutely right. Men who suppress women do it because they fear us. When women are educated, we often exceed them in intelligence and understanding.
 
Wise men are proud to have such women as their mothers, wives, sisters, daughters. They recognize the richness of such relationships.
 
Does one throw away his bank account? Why then throw away the treasure of an intelligent and understanding partner?
 
Fools, tyrants and cowards fear learned women.
Wise men treasure them as precious pearls.
