The shooting of 14 year old Malala Yousafzai has shocked the world, and shocking it should be, as children don’t deserve such ruthlessness.Two days after the activist girl was shot, American singer Madonna, dedicated a song for her, and said, “This made me cry. The 14-year-old schoolgirl who wrote a blog about going to school. The Taliban stopped her bus and shot her. Do you realise how sick that is?” Now whether Taliban is responsible for this act or not, I am not sure, but why doesn’t Madonna cry when drone attacks launched by her country kill hundreds of innocent men, women and children every day in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen? The children killed here, also wanted to go to schools, they wanted to live too. Doesn’t she realises how sick that is?

Questionable! How do we know the truth?

"in support of Malala, to stand up for what Malala stood; education. It was the right thing to do". Of course it is the right thing to stand up against such terrorism act.

Oh yah? She stood only for education? Then how come all the other student girls are not killed? This is a lame reason put forward.

She was the only girl shot on the Bus full of girls by the masked terrorists. Pakistan is full of Girls Schools but not killed. In this corrupted world full of lies and deceits we cannot trust anything
that is put in front of us without the full evidence. Let us not jump on the band wagon.

Consequently, I like to get some evidence from the Media to prove it was done by the Muslims-Talibans. Allahu Aalam. The truth will come out one day Insha'Allah and HE will punish whoever the culprits are.The lies cannot last for long.

You truly have your hook baited this time mate.
Any chance you are that foolish blokle?
The one in Pakistan flogging that already burning car?
Leave you to your play.
Leave the stick at home.

Iftikhar, I totally support your post. Keep up the good work of exposing American culpability. Don't worry about comrade Belly, he tends to be a bit of an Uncle Tom on such matters as this. The broad brimmed hat brigade from the Deep Deep North should be out and posting soon, give them time, most likely still sleeping or milking the cows, or some other cultural pursuit such as drinking XXXX, don't forget they are 1 hour and 100 years behind the rest of Australia.
Your true supporter is me, The Little Green Pixie.

Hey Iftikhar you are wanted over in Hahal only menus.

Paul of the thousands of things you have said here nothing says just how out of touch with truth and our country you are.
I could insult you without stopping for breath on that weak statement but instead?
Posters the little girl, brave as she still is , needs not a bit of this author or his recent recruit Paul 1405 trash talk.
Please consider not rewarding them, both by making this *Baited thread* a long one.
See the effort to hide the would be murders, who are known, without doubt, after long threats, pre this attempt at murder to be Taiban.
And remember Pauls words here, on election day, My ex mate Paul is A member of the GREENS.
PUT GREENS LAST ALWAYS, LET NO PARTY USE YOUR PREFERENCES TO VOTE GREEN.

I know Socialist Alliance and Socialist Alternative openly support Jihadist Islam but it was my understanding that the Greens only support "moderate" forms of Islam.
For what it's worth I don't believe the American version of events either, the reasonable, thinking man has to take the default position that all these spectacualar stories are fake until definitively proven otherwise.
Remember the Iraqis throwing Kuwaiti infants onto the floor and stealing their incubators? It didn't happen.
Private Jessica Lynch fighting off armed attackers until she ran out of ammo then being "rescued" by a daring special forces mission? Completely staged for TV.
The oft repeated story of the African American "liberators" of Buchenwald and Dachau? Completely fabricated, they were never there.

In war the first casualty is truth.

Talking about truth ...
Here are the facts :

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2013/04/malala-yousafzai-pakistan-profile.

Iftikhar would have a little bit of credibility of he didn’t love and honor a man that murdered, tortured, looted, raped and enslaved so many men women and children. Yes I am talking about Islam’s dear prophet.

The fact is that for Iftikhar evil is only evil depending on who is doing what to whom. If Mohammed kills, it is “praise be upon him” and how wonderful. If it is Muslims killing Muslims, or little Muslim girls, he really doesn’t care either. Now is one of those vile infidels does anything wrong, now that is bad bad bad.

Muslims will only bring trouble to Western societies – they are incapable of living in peace with us. Their values are not those of the West. They don’t believe in freedom of speech and belief, equality and separation of religion and state. Their morals are those of the Quran (read Quran 9:111) and their great example is Mohammud (Quote: “I am made victorious with terror!”).

“Children don’t deserve such ruthlessness” Oh yes, Iftikhar, I am sure that Asma bint Marwan and the pregnant lady split open because of your dear prophet will be thrilled to know that. Evidence? Sources? The hadith, Islam’s own traditions, that tell a story of Mohammad’s brutal 10-year war on his peaceful neighbors. Nothing has changed, has it?

One more thing, Mr "She was the only girl shot" Iftikhar, three girls were shot in that vehicle that day by your dear friends, the people you defend.

You can't even get basic facts right, can you... either about your religion, your dear prophet or even simple news articles.

kactuz,
It would be rather appropriate if you offered these morons to buy your pseudonym so not to leave any doubt as to their mentality.

My newest and dearest forum friend Iftikhar, did not post that he/she supported the shooting of Malala Yousafzai by the friends of George W Bush, The Taliban, in fact Iftikhar condemned the atrocity by these religious fruit cakes.
The point is we should condemn all atrocities, the latest being the killing of 11 children by the US and its lackeys in Afghanistan, shame on these murderous bsatards. I condemn all in this world who would perpetrate such evil, be they the Taliban, Uncle Sam or anyone else.

I will not haunt the thread.
But want to ask, beg if I must, level headed people to look at the author and his fans.
AK47 is no more a weapon than lies, in fashion here.
Consider the claims saying those murdered Jewish and other folk did not die.
JOM, you should be ashamed, Paul your party should expel you.
Author? lies do not cover your agenda, my world must confront such as you forever.

Iftikhar,
IS on his Crusade again challenging Western values and freedoms. It is better we do not engage him in a war of words as this is part of his fight. When he can demonstrate a free Islamic society that is not mentally at war we will listen.

Of course Malala was picked out. She ran a blog or a campaign for
girls to be educated. That is all there was to it, nothing more.

Anyone complaining about the drone strikes does not know what is
really going on in the world.
It is hard not to know, but no one is so stupid as those who don't want to know.

Just for the benefit of the stupid;
There IS a war going on, just in case you did not know !
Warfare has changed its character, it is no longer large armies driving
across countries wiping all enemies out as they go as it was at
Stalingrad, the Bulge, the Somme, Malaya etc etc.
It is a world war taking place everywhere from the Southern Phillipines
to the Middle East and the streets of Europe. We have been fortunate
so far as we have not had the enemy doing any more than planning and
that has been nipped in the bud by ASIO & AFP.

Anyone who wants to ignore this is not capable of making reasonable
comments on the war.

Dear all,

Let's get a few thing straight. Of course the point that outrage over Malala's shooting should also extend to those children who are victims of drone strikes. America's use of these weapons by its spy forces in a sovereign country who has repeatedly rejected their deployment in its skies is despicable, against international law, and morally bankrupt.

However can I warn again about reacting to this gentleman. He is a virtual troll who rarely if ever engages with those who respond.

But even putting that aside, his insinuations it may well be others, not Taliban or other Muslims who instigated the shooting of this girl, are patently ridiculous.

In fact 2 days before he posted this on OLO he responded to an article on the Huffington Post's website. There his opening paragraph read;

“If Taliban attacked her because she attended school then there were many who were attending the same school along with her ... why didn't they shoot all of them ... Why only her? This is the way Americans work ... They brought an idol and shot her or got her shot .... they killed their own Ambassador to kill Zia-ul Haq.”

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/04/05/malala-makes-first-donation-angelina-jolie-_n_3018623.html

It is accusations like these and the rejection of the self evident that should have us view him as the ideologue that he is.

Dear Paul 1405,

To uncritically accept what this person is putting you, saying “I totally support your post.” and calling him “My newest and dearest forum friend”, does not leave you in the best light my friend.

Bazza's “Anyone complaining about the drone strikes does not know what is really going on in the world.” in a very real sense echoes Iftikhar's mentality and ideological dislocations. As I consider you at least redeemable I offer this advice for what it is worth, you sir would do well not to follow their path.

csteele, do you think based on one post that what's his name posted is my “My newest and dearest forum friend". Just a bit of a gee up for me olde sparing partner Belly. true to his form Belly bit like a crocodile
My serious view is, as I did post;
"The point is we should condemn all atrocities, the latest being the killing of 11 children by the US and its lackeys in Afghanistan, shame on these murderous bsatards. I condemn all in this world who would perpetrate such evil, be they the Taliban, Uncle Sam or anyone else."

"so far as we have not had the enemy doing any more than planning and
that has been nipped in the bud by ASIO & AFP."
Bazz, you fail to mention the courageous and selfless work being done in the defense of Aussie from those hoards of the yellow peril and other savage unmentionables, by the good ladies of the CWA. Yes, if it was not for Blanch and her happy bunch of bakers down at the CWA, keeping the home fires burning, so to speak, where would we be, who would be there in our darkest hour with tea and scones? ASIO, the AFP? I think not, it would all be left to those wonderful gals of the CWA!
So please give a modicum of credit to the good ladies of the CWA?..... Sorry, I may be confusing the efforts of the CWA ladies with the outstanding defense of Australia undertaken by the YWCA girls. certainly not ASIO or the AFP!

Paul1405, hmm just what is 1405 ?
Is that your CB callsign ?

1405, Bazz that's my IQ, CB that's The Little Green Pixi,10,4 good buddy, and Bazz is that short for Barry Mckenzie!

Paul, on behalf of the at least 50 percent of ham radio operators who came from CB.
Those actively keeping ham radio, mine and Bazz hobby, running, may I say sorry.
In using the term to insult Bazz lets himself ignore, todays bes at building running and maintaining our net work, community radio, fire brigade and the services, Road rescue, emergency services.
Are, with pride ex CB radio operators.
KNOW BAZZ in 1970 my then teacher warned older folk in Ham radio did not want us in it !
I proudly passed a few yearslater and it is from CB radio we gained todays operators.

See, I told you so !

ok Bazz fair enough, my respect for you is dead just as the good you once did for our hobby, and you are from its past.
I from its present days, have given radios new, to new calls as a help for them and the hobby your words are those of the very old overly self confident without good reason.
Make for an interesting couple of field days telling of this page.
Paul I at least front my insults to you based on your words not a whole class of folk.
Forget me Bazz I have too much love of our hobby to ever forgive your bitter words.
I soon make a 4am start 8pm finish broadcasting a community event what are you contributing.
Every station manned by full call ex CB operators.
Last post in this thread

I came back to say to all posters I am sorry for my outburst.
But not retracting a word.
I am aware I get hot at times.
This time it must look strange to many.
CB Citizens Band radio, first came to this country in the hands of a ham radio operator.
The very well known,even loved Dick Smith, he had a full call, highest ticket you an get ham radio call.
He was known by his CB call* tricky Dicky*
First the hobby was not legal, yet soon half a milion radios had been sold, mainly gear no longer legal in America.
Before unwise folk, just a few, fought to stop payment of the then legal CB radios, licenses got to over 300.000 and that many operating without paying.
CB, like any thing with that number, say facebook today, or the very drunk old man on ham radio late most nights, had its problems.
Along came UHF a cleaner form of legal CB, apart from a group, legends in their own minds, Australian Truck drivers, good respectful use is made all over this country by users.
Wifes listen for problems the men may have out on the tractors,husbands can come home when needed.
Both forms of radio are montored to help motorists in trouble, not as much post mobile phones but as often in the very same room as a hams licensed radio, as mine do are on , 24/7
Peoples radio,has saved lives and saved from sure death my prized hobby, ham radio.
All have long and proud history includeing some very brave coast watchers in ww2.
And this countrys very first Broadcast radio station was first started by a ham, Sydney's 2fc.
No group is all bad none all good.
But a form of near bigotry has been known from persons holding the ham license to all they claim are lower than them.
So sorry but I need to defend ordinary people from slurs.
