So I've seen some people asking why moderate Muslims don't condemn this sort of violence. Well...

Religious leaders in Pakistan have condemned the shooting of teenage education rights activist Malala Yousafzai, during a special day of prayer across the country.

Clerics on Friday declared the attempt on her life, made by Pakistani Taliban gunmen while the 14-year-old girl was on her way home from school in the Swat valley, to be "un-Islamic".

The joint fatwa, or religious edict, was issued by at least 50 scholars associated with the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), and appealed to worshippers to observe a "day of condemnation" on Friday.

Inside Story: Who in Pakistan should have protected Malala?

"Islam holds the killing of one innocent person as killing the entirety of humanity," Hamid Saeed Kazmi, a former religious affairs minister in Pakistan, told reporters.

"It also forbids the killing of a woman who has even denounced her religion."

Also, I have a proposal for keeping her safe. We assign a squad of Gurkhas as her bodyguards, make this public knowledge, and the Taliban will never come within ten miles of her.

I have a better idea. Why don't we take a page out of General Pershing's playbook?

A bit off topic, how does Pershing's tactic compare with Sherman's march?

Its been a few days since Malala was shot. Still in ICU as far as news reports are concerned. But it seems like she's still in as much danger from extremists as she is from her bullet wound:
Quote
Kamran Rehman, district administrative officer in the Swat Valley said police are actively pursuing the shooters, but so far only three arrests have been made.

Though he cannot be certain of the suspect's roles in the shooting until a full investigation has been conducted, Rehman did say they were between the ages of 17 and 23.

One suspect has also been arrested in Rawalpindi, not far from the hospital where Malala is currently being treated.

A military official speaking on condition of anonymity told Al Jazeera that the suspect tried to enter the hospital on Thursday night claiming to be the girl's father.

That depends on whether you think making your enemies suffer is better than treating human beings like human beings.

If so, then apparently "better."

She's been alive since the shooting.  The article itself mentioned that.

Ironbite-no brain damage either due to the fact the bullet didn't penetrate her skull.

I think this is actually really one of the best things that could've happened. The Taliban'll have a much harder time finishing the job now that she's in the UK.

I think we deserve an update.

The Taliban are whining. Yes, they're over there having a collective hissy because they're not getting equal time from the media.

...I'm fucking serious.

Pakistan's Taliban insurgency faces a spate of bad press in mainstream Pakistani outlets related to the jihadists' failed assassination attempt of Malala Yousafzai, a young blogger who dared protest the Taliban's ban on educating girls. Now the Taliban are plotting terror strikes on TV stations and other media organizations, but local newspapers refuse to stay silent.

---

Wow, Columbia Journalism Review, here we come. Clearly Pakistani reporters should be giving equal weight to the pros and cons of shooting children in the face.

The Taliban is mad because the rest of Pakistan is mad at them over the shooting. "Undoubtedly this is the worst press the TTP has ever had, there is no doubt," Rana Jawad, Islamabad bureau chief of Geo News, told The Guardian's Islamabad correspondent Jon Boone. The Taliban have been furious that justification for the attack, that the girl was being "un-Islamic," was not being placed prominently in news stories. Muhammad Amir Rana of the Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies, says the Taliban are taking a PR beating. "We have seen a similar public sentiment in the past, but this time it is quite unique," he said. "This case has provided a catharsis of the masses for all the grievances that have been building up for years."

I have a better idea: we capture them, then try and execute them under Sharia law.
IIRC the punishment for murder is either an eye for an eye, or straight up hanging. That's boring. I say we apply the punishment used for adulterers; if anything these Middle Easterns are quite creative at preventing people from boning.
I think that might be the wrong approach.
A straight up, no fanfare, bullet in the head wherever they happen to be found and toss them in the nearest garbage bin. Do it without any anger or hatred, just cold clinical detachment. Deal with them as you would a rat or fly that is bothering you. Remove any notion of honor or nobility to them or their cause, and treat them as the vermin they are.

Nobody roots for the rats, if you can frame them as such by their own countrymen their support will dry up.

Wouldn't it be better to have them stand right in front of the dumpster rather than having to drag them there?

Or we send in the Gurkhas, grab and kill the Taliban, and leave behind the following message:

Not really since it shows you are thinking about it rather than reflexively swatting flies.
