The clergy are failing all of humanity in not calling out the hate patterns in the middle east from all across the world. People need to stop grey-rocking Malala and promote her teachings.

“If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, October 8, 2013

“In his pocket he kept a poem written by Martin Niemöller, who had lived in Nazi Germany. First they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist. Then they came for the socialists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak out because I was not a Catholic. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, October 8, 2013

The clergy have a hard time historically calling out abuse by monarchs/dictators. They aren't too be relied on for moral guidance.
