Malala's UN address leaves Twitteratis scrambling for words

People split over Malala, but it does not stop her from being one of the top most trending topics.

While Malala Yousufzai addressed the UN General Assembly on July 12, a day which also marks her 16th birthday, Twitteratis took to the social networking website to voice their opinion.

Some hailed her for being courageous and brave for standing up against the Taliban while others called her speech a "made-up act".

Some called her names and a 'Western Agent'.

#Malala was also the top most trending topic in Pakistan on Friday evening.

Here are some of the tweets:
