ZIAUDDIN:
Love marriage

in America

and love marriage

in Pakistan...

are very different things.

You can't have dates,

you can't have

romantic meetings.

You onIy see someone,

she sees you...

and the next step is not

any dating or any meeting.

The next step is to tell

your father and mother,

''I want that girI.''

(FAZLULLAH SPEAKING

OTHER LANGUAGE ON SPEAKERS )

IsIam has given us the right to

defend ourseIves.

Any poIice or soIdier that attacks

MusIims are infideIs!

ZIAUDDIN:

ln the very beginning,

Fazlullah was not violent...

but he became stronger

and stronger and stronger.

(FAZLULLAH SPEAKING

OTHER LANGUAGE)

I am a seeker of knowIedge searching

for the right path.

As a MusIim, it's my duty to ...

spread what I have Iearned to the pubIic,

in the name of God.

ZIAUDDIN:

They started killing policemen

and blasting police stations.

MALALA:
Taliban are

a small group of people.

They think that God is a tiny,

little, conservative being.

But for us,

God is not that tiny.

God has sent us to this world

to see how would we live.

Would they choose a bad way

or a good way?

My name is Shettima Harouna.

My daughter

is Margaret Shettima.

My daughter is 17 years.

Her name is Sarah Samwell.

My daughter's name is Aisha,

I'm not going to say my daughter's name

because whenever I do

I have a Iot of emotion and break down.

REPORTER 1:

REPORTER 2:
The abduction

of the Nigerian schoolgirls

continues to dominate

the national conversation.

REPORTER 3:
For three months,

MALALA:
l'm still 1 7.

What should l do?

How can l help?

''You are

the eIected President.

''You need to fuIfill

your responsibiIities.

''And your responsibility

is to listen to your people. ''

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

lt is so hard to get

things done in this world.

You try, and too often

But you have to continue,

and you never give up.

said something

openly against the Taliban...

they would be warned.

Bakht JamaI ...

MiaguI Jan Pacha

Dr. Haider AIi

We know about you.

You'll face the music.

They would go early

in the morning...

and next day

he wouId have been killed.

(FAZLULLAH SPEAKING

IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

MaIaIa Yousafzai targeted IsIam.

So, we tried to kill her.

GUGGENHEIM:
Who was the person

who shot Malala?

It was not a person.

It was an ideoIogy.

MALALA:
When l'm in a car,

looking through the window...

l like just to be silent

for a while.

Sometimes l feel

that l am in England

but it's just

for a short time.

l'm not going

to live here forever.

When l think of Swat,

l think

that it's just a story.

lt's something that happened

and l can

never see Swat again.

GUGGENHEIM:
What would happen

if you went back today?

If I wouId go back,

wouId I be shot?

Of course I wouId be.

They said, ''If you come back

we're going to shoot you.''

l just want to go once

just to see that house.

Just once.

Just look at it.

AtaI.

Just Iet me do something eIse.

This is boring.

She's Iooking at the pictures.

GUGGENHEIM:
Who's that?

Shane Watson.

This is Shane Watson and he's

a really good cricket pIayer.

And there's another one

as well,

who is one of my favorites.

GUGGENHEIM:

I think you Iike him

more than just for cricket.

No, I just Iike him

for cricket.

And I aIso Iike Shahid Afridi.

GUGGENHEIM:
Yeah?

MALALA:

He's the Pakistani cricketer.

He is an amazing cricketer.

One of the best cricketers.

And he had the Iongest

and the biggest six

in history.

ATAL:
Oh, this one!

It's this one!

-See?

-(CROWD CHEERING)

COMMENTATOR ON VIDEO:

He smashed it miles!

It went miIes away.

ATAL:
But he's

not good anymore.

He is good.

He's getting oId.

He can't even pIay. (LAUGHS )

GUGGENHEIM:
Do you think

you couId ever ask

a boy out on a date?

(LAUGHS )

My brother can tell me

that he has got

a girIfriend...

but I can't tell him

that I have got a boyfriend.

MaIaIa says

that you can have a girIfriend

but she can't have

a boyfriend.

I think she's wrong.

It's all up to her.

GUGGENHEIM:
Who's that?

ATAL:
I have no idea.

MALALA:
Brad Pitt.

GUGGENHEIM:

lf there's a boy you like...

why can't you pick up

the phone and ask him,

''Let's go to a movie''?

(LAUGHS ) No, it wouId be

quite embarrassing.

And the other thing is that

if my famiIy wouId know,

it wouId be

a surprise for them.

And they wouId be astonished.

''MaIaIa asked a boy?''

And there is Roger Federer.

-GUGGENHEIM:
You Iike him?

-Yeah.

GUGGENHEIM:
You Iike tennis

or you Iike his haircut?

(LAUGHS )

I Iike his haircut.

MALALA:
It's aIways changing.

One of my friends,

the Taliban

stopped their car...

and showed them

the head of a slaughtered man.

They said, ''lf you don't

follow the real lslam

''that we're showing you...

''then you can be the next

person like this man. ''

They were not about faith.

They were about power.

ZIAUDDIN:

They are cruel people

who are misusing

the name of lslam.

They are the enemies of lslam.

They used to bring innocent

people to the square...

sometimes shoot them

in the square

and sometimes slaughter them

in the square.

They used to leave a note

on the body...

''lf you go against

the Taliban,

''this could be you tomorrow. ''

Many people, they thought

that if they speak...

they will be killed

the very next day.

I was feeIing that if I don't

speak, I wouId be the most

sinfuI and the most guiIty man

in this worId.

As a schoolboy,

the hardest times...

were the moments when

a teacher asked me to stand

and read a passage

from a book.

GUGGENHEIM:
Tell me about

your father's stammer.

When he taIks?

Yeah.

Mmm.

(STAMMERS ) MaIaIa. MaIaIa.

MALALA:
One thing that

l noticed in my father...

even if he stammers

for one minute,

he will try to say that word.

He never stops.

The first time

you can just stop it.

And you can say

another word instead.

But my father never does that.

ZIAUDDIN:
My father

was a very passionate

and emotional speaker.

A fiery speaker.

The most eloquent man

l have ever seen in my life.

He used to give sermons

in the mosque every Friday.

My father would be shouting
