Nov 2013

She talks openly about the struggle against extremist, mostly the Taliban, and their imposing of hard-line rule. Examples include women are not allowed to go out in public without a male relative, men must have beards, and girls not being allowed to go to school.

At the same time she says how much she loves the area she grew up in and wants to return someday.

I think if she did the Taliban would kill her. On the other hand, she'd make a wonderful president of her country someday.
