Within that inch, we are free...

You shot a small girl because she felt she deserved the right to study.

You shot her because you felt that her concept of secularism was a crime.

You strongly believe that what you are doing is going to get you into heaven because it is the will of God. You still bay for her blood as she struggles on ventilatory support in an ICU. 

Rape. Plunder. Pillage. Beheading. 
Everything is justified, after all, once you add the phrase 'It's written in the Holy Book.' That's been the excuse of humanity across all religions long before we learnt to even make those bullets you used. Why should we learn from other's mistakes, right ?

And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends, stolen forth of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
- William Shakespeare, Richard III

I'm sorry if I'm quoting humans while you quote God. The fact is, I can't play religious antakshari with you. You can instantly quote paragraphs, page numbers and verses ad verbatim. Apparently, the fact that you are an index and glossary combined of a single book makes you more religious and hence more likely to get into heaven. Me. I'm just a normal guy who knows shooting a child is bad, irrespective of religion. 
But, like you, I do believe in some quotes above others. Like the ones below which I would like to share with you.

"Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. 

It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free."

"I shall die here. Every inch of me will perish. Every inch but one. 

An inch... It is small, and fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. 

I hope that, whoever you are, you escape this place. 

I hope that the world turns and things get better. 

But I hope most of all that you understand that even though I will never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. 

With all my heart, I love you."

This is not from any religious book handed down from thousands of years ago. 

It is from a slightly more recent book. I want to say a graphic-novel but it wouldn't make sense to you. So let me make it easier for you.

A comic book. It's from a comic book.

And you know what's funny ? I believe, with all my heart, that the simple lesson from this comic book is more likely to get me closer to God than any interpretation of religion you will ever conceive of in your demented minds.

A 14 year old girl stood up to you for three years and did not give up on what she knew was her right - the freedom of education and the freedom to love all mankind. She lived alongside monsters but did not flinch. She and her classmates showed the world what generations of your fanatic kind could not - the value of integrity. 

You shot a small girl for going to school. It made you think you won because you silenced her. That's funny. Because the same comic has another quote that I think you will find suits you more as the days pass by and your own allies turn against you. 

Like you, it involves a person with a gun shooting someone point-blank and yet not being able to kill them.

Creedy :  Die! Die! Why won't you die! Why won't you die?

You shot a small child. You may or may not have killed her. But you will never be able to kill the idea she instilled - of courage,  of justice... of how to defeat you. 

In the days to come, you will find that it is not your misguided religious interpretations but my dusty old comic book which will prevail.

In the days to come, while you are being hunted down one by one, you will find that it isn't God but doubt and fear that will be your only companion.

In the days to come, you will find that by pressing the trigger on one small girl, you revealed to everyone that which you were so desperate to hide and which a small girl knew all along - how irrelevant your ideals truly are. 

And oh yes, in the days to come, you will be forced to face one more bitter truth.

That. Ideas. Are. Bulletproof.

Addendum :
( 10 November 2012 ) : I was proven right. None other than the United Nations has declared November 10 as 'Malala Day' worldwide to honour this girl's courage to stand up for the basic right to education.
