Pakistani girl shot by Taliban arrives in the UK

(London) Young 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai, shot in the head by the Taliban for blogging that she wanted an education, arrived in London today for medical treatment she couldn't receive in her own country.

What makes this story even more damning is that Pakistan not only has more nuclear warheads than the UK, more front-line modern fighter jets and more main battle tanks than the UK, but the UK gives Pakistan £1 billion in aid each and every year. Not only that but the present British Government intends to increase the money it gives to Islamabad.

Yet for all the money Pakistan receives from the West, instead of spending it on the people (roads, hospitals, houses, etc.) they squander it on weapons. So much for being a religion of peace. The thing is, each and every Islamic country spends more money on weapons than it does its own people. Must be why the biggest export to the West from these countries are their own citizens.
