Galatians 6:9 NCV We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up.
A teen girl who stood up to the Taliban and survived an attempted assassination has received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Malala Yousafzai is the first teenager to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Malala was a teen advocate for girls being given an education, which went against the edicts of the Islamic terrorist group. The Taliban tried to assassinate the then 15-year-old as she traveled to school in Pakistan’s Swat Valley in October 2012. The bullet struck above her left eye and grazed her brain but did not cause fatal damage.
She was flown to Britain where she received treatment and now attends school. She is still a worldwide advocate for the rights of women in Islamic countries and to raise awareness of the treatment of women by Islamic groups such as the Taliban and ISIS.
“The extremists were and they are afraid of books and pens,” Yousafzai said in a speech last year at a UN youth assembly. “The power of education frightens them. They are afraid of women. The power of the voice of women frightens them.”
“The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambition,” Yousafzai said last year. “But nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.”
Do any of us so-called “Christians” in America have this same kind of courage, when it comes to “standing up” for even our OWN self-declared religious faith???
