Comment by Mrs Donna Johnson on January 7, 2013 at 10:13pm: Brilliant !!! this young lady deserves support for her courage to speak out, god bless her as women everywhere have the right to freedom and free speech regardless of religion / beliefs.

May she continue to thrive and get better here, as Sylvia Doughty pointed out her father has a position within the Pakistani Consulate in Birmingham. God bless her and her family and hope they enjoy their time here in the UK experiencing the life that they should be living in their native Pakistan but, can't due to it's outdated laws etc especially those relating to women!!,

Comment by Kathy Rosario on January 6, 2013 at 8:06pm: Wonderful choice Michael!! Women here in our country need to listen up and realize some of our politicians have some very close beliefs as to those in Malala's country. For example....we are being told a woman can STOP a pregnancy from occurring after a "legitimate" RAPE!!!! Shameful behavior from a senator in our country in 2102 (when he made the STUPID comment!!!) Women everywhere must protect themselves and each other. We can all move forward with the help of Malala and bless our youth who move from their untainted hearts and souls for they truly are our future!!! The dinosaurs like that senator will eventually become extinct. Thank you Michael for your infinite compassion for women and children who often have no voice.....even in our "modern" country.

Comment by Mar Elisei on January 5, 2013 at 11:31pm: Si...realmente VALIENTE es el término...mis respetos hacia ella...estas son las cosas que a uno le hacen pensar en la vida...qué huellas dejamos cada uno...qué sentido tiene la vida para cada uno...y si esta niña no tuvo reparos en perderla a favor de otros...Dios me ha dado la gracia de conocer personas no como el caso de Malala, pero que todos los días dan mucho y todo diría de sí para aliviar o ayudar a personas en esta situación o en otras...es bueno esto que pones, porque los jóvenes y la sociedad toda esta escasa de modelos y ejemplos a seguir...y el caso de Malala de luchar por sus ideales es muy noble...ella como bien decís llega a ser héroe porque la asesinaron...esperemos que no se dé más esto...pero sí preguntarnos cada uno que estamos haciendo por transformar este mundo con más amor y con acciones buenas...eso redundaría en el beneficio de todos...gracias por compartir esto, porque vos al ser admirado por muchos fans también sos modelo o ejemplo...gracias porque entre todos debemos hacer un mundo más justo y más hermoso donde reine el amor y la paz...

Voy a extrañar un poco tus resoluciones y lindos comentarios, me voy por un tiempo...pero gracias a Dios a disfrutar de unas lindas y merecidas vacaciones, si puedo desde donde voy me conecto a ver si puedo saber algo de vos y de todos!! Un cariño para vos desde Argentina y saludos a todos, a los del Equipo MB y a todos los fans!! Un beso, Mar.

Comment by Barbara R on January 5, 2013 at 7:24pm: Malala is a very special person and very brave. You chose the most appropriate person in the world to be your hero. Atrocities will continue to exist in this world but with people like Malala and you Michael, it is hoped such atrocities will be reduced if not eliminated altogether.

Comment by Julia Karpinska on January 5, 2013 at 1:17pm: I am quite impressed she is so young but really brave! I am also happy that you are interested in the life of other people:)

You are also my hero because you care about world affairs, that's really nice.

Comment by meggy on January 5, 2013 at 4:34am: And this is why I hate to watch the News! This world we live in is crazy! Everyone anywhere should be able to go to school! I hope she comes to America!

Comment by Sharonrose Arciszewski-Armstrong on January 5, 2013 at 3:23am: My heart goes out to this very strong , independent, worldly young lady. Her life surrounded by the dangerous actions of torment beliefs. Her natural motives is to share wisdom. . Her right in some countries to speak what is justice should be, but she was struck down, a sabotage to her life. A life that is so precious May she be able to heal , and may her journey continue, but not with her life in jeopardy. What she wants to accomplish is like starting a new section of an old centuries scores of writings in that regional place; religion-law. .May she find peace and have the ability to work along side women that need the love and care, and where she will be excepted and loved for her generous/heroic deeds. And to rethink how she can perhaps accomplish some of her faith. (maybe) I pray for her safety.
