The Daily Show - Malala Yousafzai Extended Interview

[@johnnyhandel4085]

Whenever school is giving me a hard time (always) and I want to say I hate it, I just think of Malala, and thank her reminding me to appreciate the education I get, and how easy it is for me to get it. Thank you Malala.

[@katiemccann7140]

same! when tests get tough and the assignments pile up and I want to fake a sickie I think of Malala and make myself go to school

[@picis735248798]

Well wait a minute, she didn't say all schools are always right and do everything right, mistakes are still possible.

[@johnnyhandel4085]

Schnappi fckingcrocodile Sure, but I know my school does not do most things wrong, and its an easily accessible education that I can safely attend everyday, unlike the schools where Malala comes from. I'm just being grateful of my school and my education.

[@BRBallin1]

Johnny Handel Except so many subjects are treated as general knowledge that you won't directly apply afterwards, but the class still makes you spend an equal amount of time for it as the subjects that actually do help you throughout life.

[@johnnyhandel4085]

I am aware of that too, but I just point out how easy it is to get an education where I am. If we were to go into different schools flaws from around the world, that would be a whole other topic.

I am sure you know already that she received Nobel Peace Prize and LOTS of money. So my quastion to you is, what a hell she not going back to her miserable country to open a school for girls? and why she and her parents are still living in the UK? Should every girls in Pakistan get Nobel Peace Prize and LOTS of money, if they get shot? Try to Adjust your brain befor you talk.

"if you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty. You must fight others, but through peace, dialogue and education." That statement was amazing, this precious angel was shot in the head by those monsters yet she still encourages peace. That is a true activist. God bless her and I can't wait to see what she does next to improve this crazy world.

[@theOnyFUFU]

+xxladybug94 This is a great interview and she had some awesome stuff to say but in her language, Talib means "student". It's kind of a silly thing but i don't get why she keeps referring to members of Taliban that way when nobody in that part of the world does!

[@theOnyFUFU]

Typical Hindu, have you not learnt anything from her speeches? She begins every speech by "Bismillah..." literally describing Almighty God's unique qualities. She knows who is directly responsible for her incredible escape from the clutches of certain death or handicap. Why do you think she doesn't need drugs to dull the pain? All she was constantly doing throughout her recovery whilst on the hospital bed was to utter her thanks to the mercy of The Most High.

[@ramywiles]

It amazes me that there are people who don't think Malala deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Just... listen to her, listen to what she's saying. This is a sixteen-year-old girl who has already survived an assassination attempt -- and instead of keeping a low profile out of fear of another attempt on her life, she is STILL using her voice to advocate for girls' and women's education and to fight the oppressive forces that tried to silence her. What's more, she's not advocating an iron-fist approach. She still wants to treat her oppressors like people. Please tell me who deserves it more than she does.

[@lavendaire]

Yes yes yes!

[@ramywiles]

Colby Gleason Well, for one, she's an inspiration to people worldwide -- specifically, to women and girls, whose education she is fighting for. More concretely, though, she and her father co-founded the Malala Fund, which is "focused on helping girls go to school and raise their voices for the right to education," according to the Twitter. I'm not sure whether her book's proceeds went to that fund, but apparently that is/was a possibility. Throwing money at causes doesn't solve the problems, necessarily, but she's earning the prizes and recognition she is for a reason.

[@doraaaa0613]

ramywiles I'm 16 myself (I live in India) and you have a point, I'm inspired by her. It makes me want to get up and go to school everyday so that I can help humanity have a significantly brighter future than what we're envisioning right now (i.e., WW3 - or an event that might trigger WW3). She's absolutely right, education plays such an important role. But ignorance seems to be a thriving attitude among a lot of people these days, especially privileged people (an observation). I feel like if everyone just opened their minds instead of being blindsided by societal norms and conformed and traditional beliefs, our progression and evolution as a species would be easier. Malala is doing what she can, and she's a brave young girl that a lot of Middle Eastern students will look up to as inspiration. She'll be their motivation. A baby step is still a step. :) To borrow the words of a friend, "Systematic discrimination and power abuse is the most powerful form of hate. When the system is against you, there is very little you can do to fight back without being immediately crushed."

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

When you think they gave it to Obama, she deserves much more then a Nobel Peace Prize that has become so meaningless.

Sad when a 17 year old girl has more passion about changing the world than most world leaders. She very nearly brought me to tears!

+talksolot Gurdeep is a Punjabi name, and although there are Punjabi Muslims, they are in a minority to Sikhs and Hindus. Saudi, Iran, and Afghanistan don't have exclusive rights to Arabic, Farsi and Pashto names. Also, as far as you know her family could have been Pashto, migrations and cultural intermingling were a common phenomenon and continue to be to this day. My family originates from Syria and Saudi Arabia, but I still consider myself an Indian National. I am a Muslim with an Arabic name who happens to have been born in India and I am not a "self hating motherfucker" as you so eloquently put it. On a different note, was the hate speech necessary? Did you not listen to what this little girl had to say about respecting each other? I wanted to say a lot more and not all of it was going to be as respectful/civil as before...just try to keep other peoples views and sentiments in mind when you write a comment like that. Words have power, try not to abuse them. As I write this I am really hoping that there is an actual human being reading it on the other end for if this is falling on deaf ears then we really truly are fucked as a species.

Lora, I have read her book and seen both the movie (He named me Malala) and the documentary (Class Dismissed.) She comes from an educated family who supports her in her activism. Her Father owned and ran a school that he started 3 years before Malala was even born. Malala began reading at age 5. And her mother, as a child, briefly attended school, but became discouraged as she was the only girl in a classroom full of boys, and she wanted to be with all her girl friends. Love of education, and truth, permeates the entire family. Malala was the top student in her class in Pakistan, and won many trophies and awards, even as a young child.

Well done Mr Stewart for brining this child to your show and showing the general public what is happening to poor people. I live in UK and went there for my honeymoon and know how humbled I was by the people for their kindness and hospitality.One day we stopped to see a family tending to their vegetables in the filed near the road and we decided that we will buy fresh vegetables from them. I asked them if we could pick and buy them, they said yes pick them, after I said how much? They turned around to me and said I can have them ! I couldn't do that I said its your living and I can afford them. After much insisting , our driver came over and said they will feel insulted , maybe you should just give something to the kids that were playing near by. So I did , the farmer was happy and I was happy. One evening I went for a walk near the hotel I was sating at and a local man greeted me and I returned the greeting and we started talking about how beautiful the surroundings were, as I bid him goodbye , he turned around and invited us to his home for an evening meal.I was just flabbergasted and humbled again that a complete stranger was asking us to to his home. I will never forget my experiences of Swat valley and its people. They may not have much in a materialtic way but their hearts are so true and loving. I hope that the piece loving people will get piece soon, as I would love to back there again one day.

[@BNROEC]

+spain n barca footy fan yeah because a feminist nowadays is considered being a mumbling bitch that wants equality for showing nipples and stuff on the internet as opposing to men showing their nipples. The appropriate meaning for being a Feminist is about standing up and speaking out what you need for your current place in the society, whether you want to level up, or just having equality with men, as in equality for human beings.

[@jordan4498]

+spain n barca footy fan because those are opposites

[@Mamkruger1]

+spain n barca footy fan Because feminists nowadays are actually Feminazis... Which means that they want superiority not equality!

[@spainbarcafootyfan]

if you look at the dictionary definition of feminism, and the etymology of the word, it refers to a movement in favour of the equality of the sexes. its not females fighting only for females, even the very term 'feminism' was coined by a man. and if some feminists decide to become 'feminazis', that basically means theyre no longer feminists- so they can no longer be associated with those men and women fighting for equality- the real feminists. feminazis having a distorted perception of what feminism should be doesnt change the original meaning of the entire movement.

In fact, your comments only indicate how intellectually immature you are. He was being hyperbolic for dramatic effect; he didn't literally mean that 99.99% of all people know less than Malala. If you had paid enough attention in 9th grade English to understand nuance, you wouldn't have posted your idiotic comment in the first place.

I am crying my eyes out hearing her story and she doesn't even flinch when she talks about being shot. She has a lot of steel.. I hope I can have atleast 1% of her confidence and courage.. Kudos to her father for being so supportive!

[@supercrazybaka]

She's so beautiful and kind hearted and everything that's right about humanity. It doesn't matter that she's younger than me, she's my role model!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@violafrank217]

For real, this made me cry like a baby. She is such an inspiration for me now and has changed my life forever. Thank you so much Malala!

This is the most respective I've seen of Jon Stewart during his interviews

[@Martialarts222]

Although I never have agreed with Feminism, I will say this. I admire, respect, and take to heart the words of this young woman. We may think she came from nothing. However, her words like many other women shock and rattle our very cores with their experiences, love, compassion, and future. stay strong to the true fighters for equality.

[@negink3234]

excuse me, but can't you see how ignorant your comment is? So you're basically saying that you are making an exception for saying you respect the words of a woman? And if you don't agree with feminism, I would recommend you to read about it and understand what it wants and fights for; nothing else than what Malala wants: equality.

[@Martialarts222]

Respect is earned not given, Malala stood up when others did not. She fought back and is fighting back. I admire and respect that. The average feminist walking the streets in North America, complaining about inequality. Not in the slightest. Always remember if you want something in this world you either work for it, fight for it, and strive beyond that of which you seek. I respect many strong women. However, a comment from some internet woman who firsts states about my ignorance should check her sex at the door and focus on the facts.

[@mirandapapsmear6678]

holy fuck. you're saying that unless a woman is shot in the face like malala, and continues to fight against oppressive forces, she doesn't deserve the right to dissent if she decides to call herself a "feminist"? the central ideology of feminism is fine. go read a dictionary. it's honestly ridiculous that you have access to running water and a microwave. you're kind of gross.

[@Martialarts222]

Don't hide behind a word, it's the ideal to hide behind the definition. An organization should be judged on their actions not the definition.

+Dana Herron why the sarcasm? it genuinely is impressive.

[@Booty_In_Space]

right... you misused the term. nothing you said was actually sarcasm if you are genuinely are impressed by a little girl scaring the Taliban. which you should be.(even if you're disgusted by the Taliban at the same time)

[@19932603A]

It's sad how kids in the west complain for HAVING to go to school while kids in the east fight and die for a right to go to school. This girl is, and should be, an inspiration to all, not just teenagers. I hope that in the near future I get to see more examples like her and hope that one day humanity will restore my faith in people all together. She, in my opinion, deserves the "Nobel's Peace Prize" because she is one of the few people I have come upon in the recent years who can't be considered to have one ulterior motive. She is pure goodness and deserves to go into the history books next to Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and others. And if I may say, this girl is one of my greatest inspiration, not just because she fights for what she believes but because she fights, selflessly, for the rights of others and that all at the age of 17.

[@diukdepata]

This is from an American Catholic Christian: May Allah (whom the noble Arabic people and Muslims know as God, yes, the Judeo-Christian-Muslim God) abundantly bless and protect this young lady of Islam and her causes that she supports. Thank you John Stewart for doing your part in helping young people like this who have personally experienced the worst of what people can be try their hardest to show the best of what people can be. Muslim brothers and sisters who read, please don't believe the lies that we here in America hate Muslims or people who are descendants of the Arabic people. Please ignore what we on the Internet call 'TROLLS.' Meaning: hateful people who have nothing better to do than 'paTROLL' KZbin or Facebook and vent their hatred on people.

[@oscartripon1041]

Ignorant people from all over the world hate not only muslims but other groups too. I love to see these type of comments in here. shows that there are people educated enough to know that there are good people in every culture of the world. i myself have befriended many muslims and i can say are very pious and are running away from this terrorism bullcrap, and no their women are not oppressed not by them, the girls i know dont even wear the veil they are that free.

[@johnstergios1129]

The Jews accept the father the Muslims accept the father they just don't accept the SON.

[@ericfaith2810]

That, unfortunately, is absolutely true. That belief is also written upon the Dome of the Rock that has the name of the Noble Sanctuary. Jesus is seen only as a prophet which, if one reads the Gospels, it is quite troubling because He obviously seems to be claiming much more than that. John, if you do a study of the differing branches of Christianity at the time of Muhammad being around the 7th century, I cannot exactly recall which heresy of the time it might have been, but some of the Christians that Muhammad knew might have actually held the belief that Jesus was not divine or seen as being the Son of God. I have read this somewhere but cannot recall where. It is this erroneous view of Christ that carried over into the belief of Islam and so they state that God having a Son would mean that somehow God was lowered to the level of the human family. Maybe it was the Nestorian heresy, but I am not sure. I have heard of some Muslims however, and they are very few, that have a kind of 'agnostic' view of Jesus being the Son of God, meaning, they might 'hope' that what we believe could be true.

[@johnstergios1129]

The Koran says Christ is not the one but when you write a book 1000 years after the Holy Bible then you can say Christ is not the one. You see the things that are Holy are the things the Bible says is Holy. Example A holy kiss a holy child a holy unction the holy men any land the Ark of the covenant passed over was called holy. The Koran calls itself Holy doesn't make it Holy.

[@ericfaith2810]

John as a Catholic Christian I am taught that it is not for me to judge the writings of any other religion as being holy or not holy at face value. One MUST take into account the era of history in which sacred writings were written as well as the differences in cultural and literary expressions. Even good Jewish and Muslim scholars believe that. Sadly, anyone can impose their own meanings upon ancient texts and misuse them in such a way as to support even a radically political or militarized ideology. I have listened to audio books of the Holy Qur'an (and I say this out of respect, i.e., the Golden Rule) and I have a copy from an Egyptian translator. Now, I am no T.S. Elliot (Lawrence of Arabia), but I read in English some very beautiful prayers in the Qur'an and I choose to respect how they pray. Saint Francis did too when he met with the Sultan Salahadin. I also choose to believe that even if people could be so mistaken in this life about Jesus, His Divine Mercy endures forever, and where humanity cannot find God's Way, God's Way has His own Way of finding humanity.

I wrote an english paper about this so i felt like I needed to comment that what you said is so true and made me kinda happy because a lot of people dont even consider "islamophobia" a thing! They deny it so i was pleasantly surprised by this comment

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Islam is also a political ideology with a legal system. A truly terrible legal system. In 2014 Brunei went from modern European secular law to Sharia law and they will now stone gay people to death. Stone women to death for adultery, kill people who wish to leave the religion of Islam or for blasphemy. And these laws are of ALL nations under Islamic law. So I strongly oppose Islam.

[@ryanzarmbinski7446]

Robert J. Williamson You're thinking of Islamism i.e. the system of governance based on some interpretations of the teachings of Islam. There is not even a consensus within the Muslim community of what is and isn't allowed under sharia law. I believe that traditions are the more likely culprit for violence and not the religion itself.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Ryan Zarmbinski - Well, all nations under Islamic law have death for apostasy (leaving Islam), death for blasphemy (criticising Islam) and death for adultery, so they seem to agree that this is Islamic law. 11 Islamic nations have death for being gay. So there is a consensus over these things. And I disagree with them all completely.

[@bonedaddy5]

***** I second this statement 100%. UFCMania98 is obsessing about the drone strikes and trying to insert his outrage about it into a discussion about another issue of equal or greater importance to Malala, which is education in Pakistan. But his tunnel vision about drone strikes is distracting from a discussion about Malala's primary issue of concern - education - when she's already done more to effect the drone strike issue than he has or will ever do - she confronted President Obama about drone strikes personally: politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/10/11/obamas-meet-with-malala/ So, +UFCMania98, Malala is on your side on the issue of drone strikes. Now, show her some respect and assume that since the Malala Fund is about education and not drone strikes, she's more concerned about education in her country than drone strikes. Learn to compartmentalize, and recognize that what you're most concerned about is not the ONLY problem in the world, and then you won't inadvertently do (slight) harm to someone who is on your side.

[@saraoligny5629]

Such a brave, well-spoken girl, wise beyond her years. It's hard to believe she is still a teenager. She obviously understands the concept and importance of peace, equality and justice in a way that not even our world leaders have even been able to grasp. She's also pretty darn cute.

[@bigjilms]

she's my inspiration. there's still hope, people.

[@aimal666]

*EDIT:* a lot of people have been misreading my original comment. I am not bashing on Malala, nor am I denying the bad in Pakistan. Much of Pakistan's infrastructure has been damaged because of extremism, corruption and poverty. And yes, I realize that I am privileged because I received an education and lived a good life, and I'm not ignoring the people who are not able to do so. If I say that Pakistan has good that is widely ignored, that does NOT mean I am turning my back on the bad. What people fail to understand is that that's not all there is to Pakistan. Malala is a brilliant woman; she has done a lot for the education of Pakistan, and I am grateful. But it disturbs me how the Western MEDIA has picked up her story and is circulating it over and over again, while failing to mention everything good in Pakistan. Has anyone heard of the world's largest welfare organizer? Abdul Sattar Edhi. He's a Pakistani. How come he's never gotten any attention? So before you go on a rant about how I should be "ashamed" of myself for my "stupid" comment, maybe you should step back and read my comment from an objective point of view. - Malala is an inspirational young woman. She is extraordinarily brave, and she has stood up for what she believes in in a way that I never could. Looking at her makes me feel kind of worthless. I respect her and I admire her and I am inspired by her. BUT. The attention she's getting from the Western media and Western organizations is slightly problematic. I recently moved to the United States from Pakistan, and because of her story, there's a very negative view of Pakistan as a whole going around in the US. Whenever I tell someone I'm from Pakistan, I get one of two reactions: 1) "Oh, where that girl Malala was shot?" or 2) "Oh, how do you know English if girls there are shot for going to school?" Hmm. I don't blame these people at all, because that's the image the media projects of Pakistan. Let's see. Malala was shot in Swat, a rural area in Pakistan where poverty is rampant and poverty is a breeding ground for terrorism. But in bigger Pakistani cities, an increasing amount of girls are getting an education. The view people have of Pakistan is that girls don't get an education at all. That's not true. Look it up. There isn't such a huge gap between the male literacy rate and the female literacy rate. I am literate. My mother was literate. My grandmother was literate. My cousins are literate. My cousins' children are getting an education. ALL of the women in my high school have gone on to pursue higher education (whether in Pakistan or abroad). Another thing. The official language of Pakistan is English. Not the national language, but the official language. Most schools teach English, and some major schools have begun to teach English as a first language. So Malala, even though I think you're a brave woman, I think your story does more damage to Pakistan than it does good. :( And how about the 132 children killed in APS in December for being the children of soldiers fighting against the Taliban in North Waziristan? Don't they deserve recognition? Or does the fact that they were CHILDREN OF SOLDIERS FIGHTING THE TALIBAN not support Western propaganda of demonizing Pakistan as a whole?

[@crimsonleavesfalling5224]

What I believe is that we should not recognize a minority as a whole for a country, especially if we are dealing with terrorism and religion. Yet, we should give them the attention they deserve, in the case of uneducated women. Before I began teaching myself about other countries and their influence, I knew little to nothing. Unfortunately, the media decides to emphasize the terrible parts of human nature more than it does with the good parts. We tend to shut ourselves out as a country. As I began learning about other cultures, I realized that in the United States, we do not receive a full image of the many incidents that occur all over the place. It is truly disgusting when people label Islam as a terrorist religion. However, I do think Malala's cause is justified. Though there are many parts of Pakistan that educated, there are some that aren't. Those minorities should be heard and her message is needed for those who are blinded by hate. For your situation, I am truly sorry. I wish people didn't do things like this, or regard a person differently according to their place of birth. Sure, Malala's message may have been misinterpreted by those who only focus in the negative. She is advocating for equality, but human nature is making us focus on the hate that is being misread. I wish we wouldn't do such things, but is blatantly obvious that it is hard to spread love and peace. I hope those who died get the recognition they deserve. Malala could have died just as easily, but she was given another chance and she is taking it.

[@aimal666]

Aveyond Keiver I agree. I think what Malala is doing is justified. Her cause is nothing but inspiring, and she's a wonderful human being, and I will always defend her in front of people who criticize her cause; there is nothing to criticize. When the attack happened in December, killing 132 children, a lot of people criticizing Malala realized that those 132 children were all Malalas in a way, but the difference is, they were killed and couldn't raise their voice. But the fact remains that people are ignorant, and a lot of people will never do what you have done. They will never actively try to gain knowledge of other cultures and countries; instead, they will judge based on what they see in the media. And unfortunately, the media only associates Pakistan with terrorism and Malala, rather than a vibrant community who is diverse and vastly tolerant, an army that is laying down their lives in North Waziristan to fight a war on terror and a country that despite facing blow upon blow is still persevering. Again, I don't blame PEOPLE for this, but I blame the media. I wish it wasn't that one-sided.
