I don't know why people have divided the whole world into two groups, west and east. Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it's the right of every human being.

Education is neither eastern nor western.

In countries other than Pakistan - I won't necessarily call them 'Western' - people support me. This is because people there respect others. They don't do this because I am a Pashtun or a Punjabi, a Pakistani, or an Iranian, they do it because of one's words and character. This is why I am being respected and supported there.

Every human being I know craves love and affection.

And every human being is precious.

Islam tells us every girl and boy should be educated. I don't know why the Taliban have forgotten it.
