An eager Malala lands at the Islamabad airport and is given a Pakistani welcome.
Jahanzaib HaqueNovember 03, 2013
DISCLAIMER: Malala has not landed in Pakistan. Ignore the mind-blowing realism and true-to-life drawings - this is fiction.

Good one if taken as humor, otherwise we all know she's enjoying citizenship and precious perks abroad so shes not coming back. She will, but after some time and with high security to participate in elections.

They are under no obligation whatsoever to, as you put it, 'project Pakistan in a positive manner'. ET, as a media outlet, is free to publish whatever they see fit to and if it's social commentary from a liberal perspective that they wish to provide, it's most welcome given how deep the tentacles of the right wing media are rooted into the media scene in Pakistan. This critique of Pakistan, accurate one at that, is far more beneficial than any so called positive projections because it highlights actual issues instead of glossing them over in favor of meaningless two bit achievements that serve no purpose other than to take the spotlight from much more serious issues that need to be addressed immediately.

Is she acting like a child? If she is a child then she should stop passing statements way beyond her years. What does a child know about the seriousness of politics and religion? That's my whole point. I guess your tunnel vision missed it and focused only on one statement.

Well it was funny funny in my opinion in the same way that Dilbert is. A brilliant satire on a sad state of affairs.

Come on , things cant be that bad in Pak for Malala. Please portray Pak in a positive light . The only worry is that she will get sucked in politics. they might make her some junior student political leader. the poor thing , unwittingly she seems to have dug her own grave.

Defence Minister: Zaid Hamid
Information & Broadcasting: Shaid ullah Shaid

So true. That tells us what the media bashing can do to a person. They did the same with Musharraf. What is curious is they are not able to condemn the dastardly acts of the terrorist who tried to kill Malala. I guess he was doing a good job according to them. What a shame really that they cannot criticize someone who they fear just as they can never criticize the land lords.

Very accurate. Pakistan is not a place for brave and righteous people. Take case of Jinnah who was left to die on side of the road, Liaquat Ali Khan who was murdered, Benazir who was murdered and Malala who was shot. Dirty country.

Whatever happened to her was wrong. The thing that bothers me is why is she being put on a pedestal. This kind of thing happens to people on daily basis. Wouldn't it be safer for her if she stopped attracting this much controversial attention from all, especially if she does want to come back to Pakistan and take part in Pakistani politics? Hence, why she would write a book and with such a controversial writer is beyond me, if she really is so much concerned with her safety.

gp65 | 10 years ago
Hate is a strong word. You hate him for what
- raising a courageous, patriotic and articulate girl?
- for keeping a school open in Swat during 2008-09 when very frew people dared to?
- for writing a well reasoned rebuttal to Rushdie's book? After all who is your audience that you would like to disabuse of incorrect notions present in Rushdie's book? - not fellow Muslims - it is others who had read the book and were not sure whether to believe it or not. Whose approach is more likely to influence them in the direction you want - her father's or those clerics who issued death fatwa?
ANyway you have a right to hate him if you want to as long as you don't act upon it and resort to or inspire physical violence to the object of your hate.

Dear writer what do u want to prove??? Pakistanis are not morons and the girl from Swat has lived here and promoted what she wanted without any opposition from people of Pakistan. She was shot by a Taliban guman not by the Pakistani nation. Stop maligning Pakistanis.

This is brilliant. A self fulfilling prophecy from the people of Pakistan. As evident from my blog on Waar, it is obvious no one here will actually get it.
ILovePAK | 10 years ago
What you got on WAAR, you deserve it.
@ author, why you generalising all Pakistanis? You living in Pakistan, earning here but all the time bashing Pakistan you traitor. I failed to understand that what ET is doing only spreading negativity. I have never seen any blog by you guys which projects Pakistan in a positive manner.
Connivance of ET I believe needs to be checked by our agencies to actually find out the reasons of bashing Pakistan and it's military.
I doubt ET shall gona allow this.

Excellent work Jehanzeb. Pakistan is going down the drain with each passing second. Malala would be stupid to return to such a country that has nothing positive to offer; hope no one misguides the poor girl and suggest returning to that country. In fact, every sane person should consider leaving before Imran Khan and his extremist buddies make the country complete hell.

criticizing Malala and criticizing her book are two different issues and must be taken separately!
is it blasphemous to criticize her book??
how can she know how women lived in Pak 30 or 40 yrs back??
