The Arab Tweet: Proud of Malala

Despite cartoon Muslims on Family Guy flying into a rage at the sight of a girl reading, Arabs responded with pride to Friday’s announcement that girls’ education activist Malala Yusuf will share the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. Some typical tweets:

Malala Yusuf .. Congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize

That Malala was honored with the Nobel Prize this year amounts to an honor for all the children of the world struggling on the road to learning.

Happy that Malala got the Nobel prize .. Let this girl be an example to anyone with an atom of humanity in his heart, to reject the evil ideas of the enemies of life.

No Twitter conversation would be complete without the obligatory conspiracy theorist, albeit this one may be joking.

American spy Malala Yousuf won the Nobel Prize HAHAHAHAHAHA

And of course there’s always that one tiresome person who, regardless of the topic of conversation, must make it about something else.

Malala Yusuf was given the Nobel for Peace because she was shot inside a school bus. The award is political, for how many children were killed by America in their mothers’ arms?

Michael Isenberg is the author of Full Asylum, a novel about politics, freedom, and hospital gowns. Check it out on Amazon.com
