18- year old Nobel prize winner and education advocate Malala Yousafzai has something against leading U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump in his call to "temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States."
Earlier this month, a radicalized Muslim couple shot and killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California. Following this tragedy is Trump saying that the United States should ban foreign Muslims from entering the country "until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses," USA Today reports.
The Nobel laureate said that Trump's rhetoric full of hatred will only spark more terror attacks. She said in an interview with Channel 4 that the more we speak against all Muslims, the more terrorists we create.
"If your intention is to stop terrorism, do not try to blame the whole population of Muslims for it because it cannot stop terrorism. It will radicalize more terrorists," Yousafzai said.
Meanwhile, Trump offers support to the surveillance of certain mosques and in coming up of a watch list and database of Muslims in the U.S. who could be part of terrorist groups.
She told Agence France Presse that it's tragic for her to hear Trump's comments full of hatred and discrimination towards others.
Yousafzai, a Pakistani education advocate said that the only thing that will change a terrorist's mindset is education. "A gun can kill a terrorist, but it will not kill his thinking." Her amazing story full of hope can be recalled in 2012 when she was shot in the head by the Taliban.
Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Prize laureate in history. The 18-year-old activist is mainly known for her human rights advocacy for women and education in her native province at Northwest Pakistan where the local Taliban used to not allow girls to attend school.
