    Malala

     
    A week ago muslims were ready to tear down every US Embassy they could get their hands on, just because some idiot made a film about the prophet. They were literally storming the Embassies with "down with America", slogans. The man who wrote the film will be punish through our justice system. This is how a true democracy works for people who have fought and died for those very rights that you express.

    What I cannot understand why is there not the same universal outrage of the shooting of a 13 year old girl who only want to get an education so that she may contribute to her society that it become a bigger and better country.
    Why are not the same people who attacked American embassies expressing themselves even if its just a symbolic march through their streets. Why are they not demanding that everyone that is harboring radical Taliban members to throw them out in the streets and turn them in to the authorities.

    If you cannot show your outrage over the shooting of Malala, how can you justify any violent protest because of an idiot with a camera.

    In the end, no protest should ever be violent. But I sit here as a proud American waiting for my fellow muslims and non-muslim brothers to take to the streets in a symbolic march for a 13 year old girl. I am reminded of a famous quote,"IF NOT ME, THEN WHO, IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN"
    Our prayers are with you Malala. God Bless You,
