Everything that is being done for Malala's recovery is commendable and I pray for her. But what about all those children that are killed in drone attacks and other terrorist activities? Are they not important enough?

Let me clarify it first that I'm not conspiracy theorist. But, when I see this picture taken at hospital, I cannot see the bandage over the bullet mark, which was on her forehead before leaving Pakistan. Can bullet mark from sensitive area i.e. her forehead be recovered in short time? i'm curious.
Glad to hear that this 'minister' was not allowed to meet Malala. Tell him to go back where he came from.
She has done great job and she is example for all humans to speak truth whether they know that they will have to face danger. She is doing the great JIHAD, this is true JIHAD which should be done against evils because the attack is being done by the POWER of Pen.
They did not let the KP Minister see Malala because they don't trust Pakistanis coming close to her. They never know what the Pakistanis intentions are??? DO YOU ????
Nice read! Thumbs up to GB PM. Get well soon Malala Yousafzai. the iron girl
Malala has defeated Taliban. They (taliban) couldn't silent Malala's voice for girls' education even their assassination attempt on her; now her voice has become global voice as "Malala Day" on 10the November. Much appreciated action taken by former prime minister Gordon Brown.
Pakistan should also celebrate this day to honor Malala's struggle.
