Her speech is just full of talk about the Invisible Magic Friend. She mentions him literally TWICE!!!

Through Malala, we see that real Islam, true Islam, her Islam, is a cuddly, fluffy religion, that believes in equality for all. It is a religion that never gets easily offended, even when people point out the all too human failings of a certain well known prophet. In fact, Islam is such a wonderful religion that I would convert to it myself if it weren't wrong.

I really don't see how education is possible without religion in the large parts of the world that still worship one or more Invisible Magic Friends.

Malala mentioned Jesus. Jesus was able to inspire people because he was the visible bit of the Invisible Magic Friend. She also mentioned Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela is not any bit of the Invisible Magic Friend. He still inspires people but not as much as the visible bit of the Invisible Magic Friend. I'm therefore not going to include Nelson Mandela. That part of her speech was clearly unimportant and not at all inspiring.

The Talibam follow a particularly wrong form of religion, which isn't really a religion at all and shouldn't in any way be confused with the kind of proper religion that I'm telling you about. They do not inspire anyone, not even the thousands of young men who constantly refresh their ranks and are willing to die for their wrong religion. They are very uninspiring and should be ignored like Nelson Mandela.
