Following Donald Trump’s comments about ending Muslim emigration to the US, and asked how she responded to the “wild things being said about Islam and Muslims”, she said: “I can just highlight one thing. The more you speak about Islam and against all Muslims, the more terrorists we create.

“So it’s important that whatever politicians say, whatever the media say, they should be really, really careful about it. If your intention is to stop terrorism, do not try to blame the whole population of Muslims for it because it cannot stop terrorism. It will radicalize more terrorists.”

1. just curious but

what does that say about a religion, the idea that people can be made into radical terrorists because something they like is being criticized?

3. I'm not sure the terrorists she was referring to are Muslim terrorists.

Speaking against all Muslims may radicalize anti-Muslim terrorists. You know, people who vandalize mosques and threaten women who wear hijabs.

4. It says it's their way or the highway.

As Rushdie and the Hebdo crew found out.

9. And then there were the Salem witch trials. and then...

Mike fuckabee, and... franklin Graham, and....

5. I'd say that covers more than religion. It could cover anything anyone is passionate about.

For example; guns, politics, money, identity... just to name a few.
Though religion does seem to have a disproportionate amount of nut-jobs.

7. Imagine if one of their people claimed all Christians should be wiped out with nukes.

8. That is any religion...tell Christians that they are unwelcome and forbidden to practice

their faith and you will have bloodshed. Tell gun owners we need gun control and they buy more guns. I work with a man who is a Christian and owns about 30 guns of many types. He gets mad if I ask him why he needs so many. He openly says he will kill any government representative if they tried to take any of his guns.....even just one gun, leaving him the 29 others. Many Christians in my state feel they are under attack and that their right to worship is being denied them. This is not true of course...they are just prevented from using religious beliefs to deny others rights. But they do not see it that way. White Christian men in much of the US feel like they are persecuted and discriminated against. They freely use racial slurs against minorities, advocate and fantasize about revolt. These are some of the most privileged men in the States, if not the world. And they are itching for an all out civil war. Most of the fears they have are untrue or wildly exaggerated.

Now imagine a Muslim who hears all the hateful rhetoric being spewed by would be Presidents. They are openly harassed, and American planes are bombing many of their countries of origin. So the fears they may feel the need to strike against are more substantial by far than any American's.

It has nothing to do with Christian or Muslims. It has to do with fear, whether those fears are justified or not.

10. It says absolutely nothing about the religion. Nothing.

It says a lot about human behavior.

2. 'Islam is about equality'

She said: "I think in terms of religion, there is not a very clear-cut answer to these issues. For example, women's rights, in terms of politics, everything is interpreted in different ways by different people. But to me Islam is about equality and calling myself feminist would have no position from the religion."

6. K&R - while I don't agree with her theory of the causality of terrorism,

I do like that finally, it becomes apparent she is not a "noble savage" cartoon character, but rather, a complex, thinking female with her own ideas, some of which we already know many Westerners adore, but other ideas which many of those same people will repudiate.

I don't think anybody EVER ever said democracy was pretty.

12. the NRA already told her to go piss up a rope

13. I can't wait for Trump's response on Twitter

Malala's a loser!
