- My father is a headteacher at an Islamic school for girls and boys to educate them all equally.
- What the Taliban are doing is wrong. Girls should be allowed to go to school. My school is not unIslamic we teach the Quaran to everyone who comes.
- The Taliban started bombing schools. They thought that it was against the Quaran's teachings for girls to go to school. Malala's father spoke out against the Taliban even though it was dangerous to do so. He even went to the capital to plead with the government for help.
