PESHAWAR: Members of the media division of the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan’s offshoot Jamat-ul-Ahrar criticised the awarding of Nobel Peace Prize to Malala Yousufzai, calling her an “agent of kuffar (disbelievers)”.
In English messages posted on Friday on the Twitter accounts of Jamat-ul-Ahrar spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan and the chief of its Ihya-e-Khilafat media division, Saleh Qassam, and media member Ibrahim Khorasani, commented on Malala and the award, together stating that she did not represent Islam.

May you and your mass-murdering ilk soon get confined to the dustbin of history. Taking on a school girl. What an act of 'bravery' that is. You do not represent Islam!

Let this brave pair of Taliban reveal their real names, and not hide behind fake rhyming ones. And the vast majority of their even braver fighters should not hide their faces behind scarves and hi jabs normally worn by women!

Did the Taliban take up the responsibility to decide who represents Islam? By whose authority I might ask? Let us ask the Taliban this: What is your contribution to the welfare and progress of mankind? Are you setting up hospitals or centres of research or learning? Has anyone amongst you written or published a book or even an article setting out an original idea, a vision or a solution to the problems that face the world? Instead, you have bombed schools and murdered health care workers and today we are one of three countries on the planet where Polio thrives. A plague on you and on your beards.

A theological misunderstanding is one of the core problems. These guys assume that they have responsibility to save our future thereafter. They just want to ensure that we eventually go to heaven. Just that they are sending many of us too quickly! I feel Muslim scholars should address this issue in an international well publicized debate.

Islam enjoins its followers to IQRA....Seek knowledge even if you have to go to China.....
Here all these illiterate factions Al Qaeda, TTP , ISIS and their dirty gangs are working in the opposite direction... With these degenerate, so called "Muslims" ... overrunning established truths ... many steps back to the dark ages.
My the Almighty creator of this universe destroy them all including like minded sick persons all over the world ... who are feeling threatened by an educated little Pakistani girl from remote Swat.....
