They bombed schools, assassinated people who spoke against the Taliban and their believes, that women and girls aren’t supposed to be thinking and be educated.

Because if you don’t know things, you can get brainwashed more easily and that’s how the government and the bad people, here the main theme are the Taliban, raised fear among the cities. Simply by the start of not believing everything a person says and realizing from her own knowledge what is true and false. Malala is allowed to go to school and eagerly learns as she realized from her daily life how important it is to get an education. Malala has the luck that her father supports the idea that women should be just as educated, well-spoken and shining as men. Men are the people that are allowed to go outside, work and be the most represented member of the family. Her focus lies on girls since in her culture women should stay at home, raise children, do the household and be there for her husband. This is the story of Malala Yousafzai, a girl from Pakistan who fights for rights to let every child have a school education. Yeah sure because Terrorists are just that stupid that they can’t move around anyway. Not to start with these “omg we let Terrorists in”. I know that not everyone is a “real” refugee – but let’s just leave it there. This is getting too deep for a book review but I hope you know what I want to say here. People from Europe fled from World War 2 (just like my Great-Granddad fled from Austria to Germany to the USA) – what would have happened if the United States decided he wasn’t welcome? Remember all the Wars, all the huntings of different cultures and religions, of Christians, Jews and Muslims Black, White, Indians, Chinese. That they should go where ever just not here: Remember World War 2. The thing I like to remind myself whenever I heard about the news that Refugees just need to get back to wherever they came from. All I know is that we have to understand that just because we are afraid of changes we shouldn’t simply assuming things from our own experience. I don’t know how influenced this book was on some political basis. Other religions and cultures are weird? Why aren’t people just adapting SO easily? And most importantly: Refugees just can’t WAIT to leave their home. Personally I think this book is a very important read, especially in a time like this, in which no one seems to understand each other properly anymore. When you read it you will realize that.Īlso I picked this book because even before reading this book, Malala seems to be for her (now) 19 years like a really fascinating and strong woman. Just to say it now: the book hasn’t been written personally by her, a journalist helped her writing this book. Part of my book reading challenge is the book I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai.
