Malala: is it really a hero at age 15?


The young Pakistani blogger became famous worldwide. But is this a good idea? It is built into heroin. Malala Yousafzai, a young blogger 14 years that the Taliban tried to kill on Oct. 9 , has become a national icon in Pakistan but also the symbol of resistance against extremism, everywhere in the world. But is it desirable, above all, Malala wants it really?
A modern version of Joan of Arc
The father of this young 15 year old girl was pleased to see his country finally respond to the oppressor. "When she [Malala] fell, Pakistan has risen and the world too. This was a turning point," said Ziauddin Yousafzai, arrived Thursday in the United Kingdom, where Malala is neat. But this notoriety she makes service young blogger? This is the question that arises columnist Andrew Keen, on the site of CNN"If we should all be horrified because the Taliban have done, we must also ensure that they do not, in our vulnerability, make this girl a" martyr-celebrity ", a kind of Jeanne d'Arc in modern times" he warns. The editorial goes even further by blaming the BBC hosted blog Malala and the father of the girl who erected the teen heroes. "Our image of an ideal childhood is that of a childhood free from all problems of the adult world," said Andrew Keen. For the columnist and writer, it is clear that children do not have to wear the fighting major.

What do you think children can they also be the ambassadors of fighting for freedom?
