Attack on Pakistani schoolgirl galvanizes anti-Taliban feeling: I quote "it is time for people to stand up."

Attack on Pakistani schoolgirl galvanizes anti-Taliban feeling: A Pakistani schoolgirl who dared to speak out against the Taliban took a bullet to the head for her act of defiance. Now, as Malala Yousufzai lies in a hospital bed in Birmingham, England, the shock and outrage among her countrymen have given way to a new sentiment: What will the government do about this? Thousands of people nationwide have joined in rallies in support of the wounded 14-year-old. The shooting has prompted an unusually strong and united reaction of disgust and anger among many Pakistanis, analysts say. 

At a rally organized by the powerful MQM political party in Karachi, thousands of people gathered, some waving flags and banners with messages of support for Malala. "Our prayers are with you," read one. Another said, "Malala -- (an) attack on you is an attack on education and progress." Social activist Saman Jafery told CNN: "If Taliban is a mindset, then Malala is a mindset too. It's a mindset of educated and empowered women." Another of those at the rally, Haider Rizvi, said people "don't want the Taliban anymore in Pakistan, and after the Malala incident, it is time for people to stand up."

 YOU ARE EITHER WITH THE TALIBAN OR AGAINST THEM; THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION: ALTAF HUSSAIN The entire nation will have to come forward against the heartless killers. The cowardly attack on Malala Yousufzai is an attack on Islam and the bright face of Pakistan: Altaf Hussain The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has said that Malala Yousufzai is the symbol of knowledge which the Taliban want to suppress.

  It's appalling enough that 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who publicly championed the cause of education for girls in Pakistan, was shot in the head and neck and critically injured by gunmen who boarded her school bus in the Swat Valley. 

  Even more horrendous is that a Taliban spokesman declared that she had been singled out for attack because of her support of girls' education in defiance of Taliban edict. "Let this be a lesson," the spokesman told the New York Times. We hope it will be a lesson — that such violence is barbaric and counterproductive. It has no place in today's world. Not in Pakistan or Afghanistan or anywhere else.  Even worse is they say they will make sure they kill her next time.

 It is high time Pakistani's and Afghani's rise up unite and eradicate this vermin enemy of Islam "the Taliban! The people would be wise to remember the cutting off of heads and hands that is routine for the Taliban and how stifling it is under their rule. As a whole they should remember the thousands of them the Taliban have purposely killed.  They should form Lashkar's (civilian defense against the Taliban) and eliminate the Taliban or life as they want it is over.

I just do not get it. If those people know how bad their life is going to be under the Taliban then why do they not fight to defeat them? The people better stand up, stand together and fight the Taliban. The Taliban may have had good intentions years ago but they have turned into a gang of murderous thugs who rape and kill their own unless they get their way and people bow down to them Period. 

Get rid of the Taliban! At one time I believed they should be allowed to rule or whatever they wanted because they were indigenous but I now believe they should be eliminated. After many beheadings and killings of men women and children for not living and doing things the way the unrighteous gang "the taliban" says, I now feel  they should be isolated or eliminated.
