In an audio message allegedly posted by al-Qaida in Pakistan, a young girl jihadist
calls on Malala Yousafzai to renounce Western education and
adopt the path of Allah as laid out in the Muslim holy book Quran and the
Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet Mohammad).
Yousafzai's activism on behalf of education for girls made her a target
for radical Islamists. She was shot in the
head by a masked Taliban gunman in 2012 while riding her school bus
home.
In 2014, Yousafzai, then 17, became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize for
standing up against Taliban attacks on western education in her hometown in
northwest Pakistan.
The new recording indicates Yousafzai remains a target, and that
jihadists are indoctrinating children into supporting terror and opposing
education.
"It takes a person close to Allah, only creator, and guides us to
fulfill the purpose of our creation and that is to establish Khilafah on
the earth of Allah," the girl jihadist, identified as Hafsa Khurasani,
can be heard telling Malala.
Blogger Carol Anne Grayson identifies Khurasani as the 5-year-old daughter of
Taliban commander Adnan Rasheed.
Only "following the law of Allah can bring happiness in our lives
and peace in this world" and is the "right education," the
girl said.
"The one you call education is not the right education because you
got it from the Kuffar [infidels] who are jahil [ignorant]."
The education Malala promotes "promoting is producing men and women
who are destroying the world," Khurasani said, while her path creates
"men and women who are constructing the world" and "aspire
to make the world a peaceful heaven."
The message concludes with Khurasani calling on Malala to "come
back home" and join her and her sisters at their madrassa in Khorasan,
a region dominated by hard-core al-Qaida jihadists that relocated to Pakistan following
the 2001 defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
