Pat's Van · October 10, 2014

The 17 year old who's tireless campaigning for girl's education and human rights in her own country of Pakistan has seen her survive an attempt at assassination by the Taliban, now becomes youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

You go girl.

She really won the award for the fact she lives in Birmingham and has to put up with the brummy accent.

Moving to Birmingham to escape Islamic extremism? Thats like moving to Belfast to escape religious unrest.

Sure wish this thread would have taken off instead of that abortion UKIP thread.

She's 1 of the bravest people I've ever heard of. An inspiration to everyone and such a humble young girl. Fully deserving of the nobel prize

While not one to jump off the deep end the fact a group were willing to assasinate a young child, in cold blood, for seeking an education is a very worrying interpretation of Islam. I'm sure there's a great many more in that circle who recognise the tremendous courage and conviction her and her family have shown!
