Why Ma uggs outlet lala should have won the Nobel Peace Prize,[url=http://www.ugg-boots-sale.org]cheap ugg[/url]
Malala Yousafzai speaks at an International Day of the Girl news conference in Washington on October 11.. The picture on the front page of Saturday's New York Times was worth a thousand words. Young Pakistani girls, one of them clutching a notebook, were awaiting the news from Oslo. Their heroine, Malala Yousafzai, was in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize. They were to be disappointed. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was given the honour. True to form, the committee awarding the prize was back at it, supremely political in the picks it makes. There had been the anti-Bush awards - Jimmy Carter,[url=http://www.ugg-boots-sale.org]cheap uggs[/url], Al Gore and Mohamed ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency he presided over. And in 2009 came the baffling choice of President Barack Obama. He hadn't even had time to unpack his luggage at the White House; he hadn't brokered peace deals or ended wars. But the folks in Oslo were keen to make a splash. Advertisement On the face of it,[url=http://www.ugg-boots-sale.org]ugg outlet[/url], the choice of the chemical weapons watchdog seems perfectly benign. After all, the 2012 award had been given to the European Union. But the Nobel Committee has its sly ways. This year, the award went to an organisation whose inspectors have been dispatched to Syria to find and destroy chemical weapons. As with Obama, the prize was given before the mission had borne fruit. There is no guarantee of success in Syria. If the history of rogue regimes with deadly weapons is a guide, then the Bashar al-Assad regime can be counted on to play cat and mouse with the inspectors, to play for time as Syria's rulers pose as partners in the disarmament effort. The hunt for chemical weapons was a way of forestalling a US attack on a dictatorship that had broken all the codes of war. What girls in the Muslim world thought and hoped for was of no concern to the selection committee, which knew what it was doing. But let us - in the fashion of The Tablet magazine, which, not impressed with the selection of Alice Munro for the Nobel in literature, "gave" the award instead to Philip Roth - announce that Malala won. The news release would have been stirring. It would have celebrated the recipient's age - Malala is 16; the average age of the winners had been 62. It would have hailed the schoolgirl's courage and resilience. It was only a year ago that a would-be assassin boarded Malala's school bus in the Swat Valley in Pakistan and shot her point b #file_links[D:\keywords11.txt,1,S] lank in the head. The shooter had asked for her by name. She had given an amazing answer: "I am Malala." (This would become the title of her memoir.) Tranquil, wealthy Oslo would have done a world of good for modern Islam, because Malala had come to embody the cause of freedom for young Muslim girls. Upon reaching puberty, girls throughout the Muslim world enter into a kind of bondage. What freedom they knew is taken away. They become temptresses, the enforcers of misogyny maintain, and social virtue demands their seclusion. The Taliban on both sides of the Afghan-Pakistan border are a breed apart in their fierce oppression of women. Their worldview, it seems, rests on keeping women separate and under lock and key. As her biography has it, Malala, the daughter of an enlightened educator, ran afoul of the Taliban by speaking out in favour of the education of girls. At 11, she kept a diary for the BBC about her hopes and daily routine. She was articulate, and foreign reporters and dignitaries were drawn to her. The assailant who boarded her school bus had been dispatched to serve a warrant on the very idea of modernism. Malala would not be silenced. She was taken to a British military hospital in Birmingham and she recovered. Last July she turned up at the United Nations, delivering a speech with startling composure. "So her #file_links[D:\keywords12.txt,1,S] e I stand, one girl among many," she said. By then, she knew she had become the standard-bearer in the fight against the afflictions that torment Islam. She didn't want to be herded into an early marriage; she didn't want to be silenced. She sought the company of books and the joys of learning. There is something odd about the place of women in the Islamic world today. Things were a good deal better for them in the early and middle years of the last century. This repression, this phobia, has come with the rise to power of the Islamists - half-educated men who take the faith literally and employ the techniques of modernity in their war against it. The tale repeats from one Muslim country to the other: the journey towards modernity broken in the 1980s. Religious bigots rose, mainly in the crowded cities, newly urbanised men who weaponised the faith and bent it to their needs. Malala's birthplace, Pakistan, was once freer than it is today. The first three decades of its national life (1947 to the late 1970s) were dominated by a secular culture. The nation's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, had meant Pakistan to #file_links[D:\keywords14.txt,1,S] be a state for the Muslims but not an Islamic state - a crucial #file_links[D:\keywords13.txt,1,S] distinction. A stern soldier, Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, seized power and imposed a stultifying mix of despotism and religious conformity. Malala matters. Onto her, untold millions can project their hopes for a dignified life within the faith. If Islamic modernity is to have a chance, Malala should be embraced by Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia. In her modesty and dignity, she should be Islam's belo #file_links[D:\keywords15.txt,1,S] ved daughter, her journey a return to the early promise of Muslim modernism.
