.. Banned Book ..

Its banned because this so called brave men are actually scared of girls with an education and who puts them in their place........Asked why the Taliban were opposed to girls' education, Malala said, "They are afraid of us. They are afraid of women. A woman is powerful but when she gets education she becomes more powerful. They do not want women to take part in society, in the development of a society. They think that the only job of women is to cook food, to serve the family, to give birth to children, to feed them."

It's all interconnected isn't it. Pakistan and places like it ban books by a girl who urges the education of women, so that they continue blaming women for being raped. If the women were educated they might realize what cave men they're living with.

If students in Pakistan are anything like me, and the people I went to school with, the best way to ensure no one reads the book is to set it as part of the curriculum.

Banning a book just makes people want to read it more. Set it as homework and no one will want to touch it.

MM, You are right it is very tough time for the common person one side there are extremists other side there are politicians .

Rip , School owners should avoid to mess with politicians either to save their businesses , it seems they are not aware of it .... .... ...... .... Mon, 11.11.2013 , 08.27 hrs .

Yes because you really want to appease murderous men, driven by religion who are so without morals that they attack schools and kill children.

well said Britexpat..

Probably a move geared to appease the Taliban and stop possible attacks on the schools.
