Adnan Rasheed’s open letter to the outspoken defender of girls’ education shed light on the violent and paranoid mindset of the movement. But a growing backlash in Pakistan against Malala has raised fears that the Taliban’s extremist rhetoric may be uncomfortably close to mainstream thinking. On social media the 16-year-old, who last week made a passionate plea to world leaders at the UN to fund universal primary education, has been described as a western stooge, a CIA spy and even a prostitute. Pakistani analyst Raza Ahmad Rumi tweeted: “If I were to take the hate tweets against Malala seriously, I would be in an asylum. The shock, horror, the utter insensitivity & misogyny.” [B]Malala’s heroic reputation abroad does not sit well at home. [/B] Pakistani journalist Assed Baig wrote in a scathing Huffington Post comment piece that although he supported her cause, it had been “hijacked” by the “western saviour complex.” “Malala is the good native, she does not criticize the West, she does not talk about the drone strikes, she is the perfect candidate for the white man to relieve his burden and save the native,” he wrote, referring to the U.S. drone program that has killed hundreds of Pakistanis. The Taliban’s narrative also resonates with many people, wrote Zubair Torwali, head of the Centre for Education and Development in the Swat Valley, where Malala attended school and was nearly assassinated last October. “At the social level, Taliban apologists have quite successfully managed to spread a warped mindset among ordinary Pakistanis, which sees the militants as pious people striving to establish an Islamic state, and their opponents as Western-educated liberal heathens,” he wrote in Pakistan’s Express Tribune newspaper. Illiteracy and envy are fuelling many of the theories, including that the CIA staged Malala’s shooting to embarrass Pakistan, said Syed Irfan Ashraf, a columnist for Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper and anti-Taliban activist. “People want to see things in black and white. They want to believe the western people want to get hold of this region, the resources, that they are behind the militancy and terrorism,” Ashraf said in an interview. “If they accepted what Malala is saying and accepted her as a daughter, then they would have to admit they are wrong.” The Malala controversy also exposes confusion among mainstream political parties about how to tackle jihadist violence, which has killed 3,585 people so far this year, according to the South Asian Terrorism Portal database. The government has remained pointedly silent about Malala’s speech, said Omar Waraich, Islamabad-based correspondent for Time magazine. “The new government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif doesn’t appear to have any particularly clear ideas on how to deal with militancy,” he told The Star. “They wanted to negotiate a settlement with the Pakistani Taliban, but the militants don’t appear willing to talk.” But Rasheed’s letter should help lay one conspiracy theory to rest. “The letter at least rebuffs the conspiracy theorists and shows that the Taliban are responsible for the attack,” Waraich said.
