I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.

Pakistan is a peace loving, democratic country. Pashtuns want education for their daughters and sons. Islam is a religion of peace, humanity and brotherhood.

When I look at my goal, my goal is peace.

If we want to end terrorism we need to bring quality education so we defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred.

I think that the best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue. For me the best way to fight against terrorism and extremism... just a simple thing: educate the next generation.

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

I think of it often and imagine the scene clearly. Even if they come to kill me, I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong, that education is our basic right.
