Devotion to Mohammad
It is immensely sad that those who consider themselves most pure in their worship of Allah are the most misogynistic people in the world. A girl who only wanted to learn and have other girls have access to school was shot in the head in Pakistan by a nihilistic terrorist who thought he was doing his religious duty. Miraculously, Malala Yousufzai has so far survived her terrible wounding but she is not out of danger, both from her injuries and from the Taliban who say they are still committed to killing her. This attack is no rarity with Muslim women and girls routinely dying in so-called "honor killings". Even the most fundamentalist Christian or Jew does not think it is a religious obligation to kill young females to honor God. If Yousufzai recovers enough to survive, she should be given refuge in the West and treated as the heroine that she is.
