Well, today, the hags didn&#8217;t disappoint with their daily emails that I can&#8217;t seem to shut off;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yesterday we organized a public fast in Islamabad to atone for US killer drone strikes.  We were devastated to hear news of the Taliban attack on 14-year-old Pakistani girl Malala Yousufzai who is an outspoken advocate for girls to attend school.<\/p>\n<p>After our fast we collected funds to send to Malala&#8217;s school and we are reaching out to global community to find medical help for her neurological needs. We condemn this violence and understand that American drone attacks increase extremism. We are praying for Malala&#8217;s quick recovery and return to school.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, a public fast, or as they&#8217;re called in Waziristan, &#8220;another day without food&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And it was our drones that caused those poor, misunderstood Taliban to shoot her. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/pakistani-girl-still-unconscious-after-surgery-clerics-mostly-silent-on-shooting\/2012\/10\/10\/7886e164-12d3-11e2-9a39-1f5a7f6fe945_story.html?hpid=z2\">The Washington Post<\/a> has some of the details of the attack today. It seems that a grown man stood over her, asked her name and shot her point blank in her head;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA masked man stopped the school van, while another jumped in the rear asking for Malala,\u201d Khan said. The driver tried to speed off, but the gunman succeeding in shooting the teenager, jumping off and escaping. A seventh-grader who was on the bus with Yousafzai was shot in the leg.<\/p>\n<p>Ihsanullah Ihsan, chief spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, said in calls to the news media that the militant group targeted Yousafzai because she generated \u201cnegative propaganda\u201d about Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe considers President Obama as her ideal leader. Malala is the symbol of the infidels and obscenity,\u201d Ihsan said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, so see, it was about religion, like everything else is for these cowards. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe cowards who attacked Malala and her fellow students have shown time and again how little regard they have for human life and how low they can fall in their cruel ambition to impose their twisted ideology,\u201d [Chief of Army Staff Gen. Ashfaq Parvez] Kayani said, according to a news release issued by the military\u2019s information office. \u201c.?.?. They have no respect even for the golden words of the prophet .?.?. that \u2018the one who is not kind to children, is not amongst us.\u2019 \u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, by the way, the Taliban, according to the Post says that if Malala survives, they&#8217;ll try to kill her again.
