And the winner is... Malala!

[HarmanKardon]

I watched an old interview - from October 2013 - yesterday with Mrs. Amanpour and Malala was absolutely breathtaking.

A sixteen years old sage then - and just a girl as well with a very nice sense of humour. She liked Justin Bieber "when I was young". (Well that changed, since she lives in England she is longing for traditional Pakistani music).

She is wise beyond her years but when you consider what she was put through it is not surprising.

This is an explanation based on empathy.

Good for Malala!

Just some hours after the announcement of the Prize she got the first Taliban threats via Internet.

They have internet trolls in Pakistan? You should see the trolls that frequent the comments section of the LATimes. Scary sumbitches there.

All joking aside, I hope she stays safe and I'm happy she was awarded the Nobel prize. I hope she uses the money to settle in Stockholm, far, far away from the Taliban.

Those coward threats are another honouring of the girl's endeavours. I hope that this great girl, her nice father, the whole family is safe in Birmingham! It would be such a catastrophe for Britain if something would happen to her.

It would be a sad day for the world.

Ditto. And as far as internet Trolls in Pakistan...some may be considerably more likely to settle their board beef with a chunk of gelignite than a snappy retort on the forum.
