Thanks Deeldar, for being a simple human being for a change. Malala Yusoufzai is our sister, our daughter, our niece, our granddaughter. I totally identify with her -- especially when she asked for her school books from her hospital bed in England. That meant she is not yet corrupted by all the media attention she got. What a strong person she is! Perhaps I am too Americanized culturally to feel the need of being protective about her privacy.
And Tarek Fatah wants to make a meal of her! He wants her slim bullet-wounded shoulders as perch for his guns aimed at his chosen enemies. Who is being a parasite here?
For Tarek's information, I'm here in Dhaka, and my pre-election 2012 missives to Transit Workers Union in New York City in the aftermath of Sandy still managed a rousing round of applause in Huffington Post. I used to teach a special course to them at CUNY for a term or two. It was a very rare opportunity that I cherish. So, Tarek, I was and I'm still an American leader, even from half a globe away.
Tarek, there's no denying that you are the parasite sucking the hype out of the misfortune of a plucky young Deshi spirit. Shouldn't it be you to feel the brunt of the shame you've been so keen to singe me with?
Yes, buzz off!

Even though, I get abused by Ms. Majid most of the time, I think she is right to think differently. Our macho liberals should not be hiding behind the little Malala. It is shameful that we needed little Malala to wake up whole Pakistani nation. Only God knows whether these creeps will be walking the walk rather than talking the talk I am disgusted too like Ms. Majid.

Why Malala should be left alone, Ms. Majid? Malala's cause is monumental; it needs world attention and she needs a forum. The Nobel Peace Prize will give her that opportunity. I am not sure why Farida Majid is bringing her personal problems with Tarek Fatah into this discussion. The issue here is women's right, isn't it? Ms. Majid said – "There is nothing the world -- Ban Ki Moon, Gordon Browne, Zardari, et al -- cannot accomplish now in the realm of girls' education that would be made easier with a Malala Nobel Peace Prize." What type of talk is this? Jiten Roy --- On Sun, 11/11/12, Farida Majid <farida_majid@hotmail.com> wrote:
