Pakistani teenage activist Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for girls' education, poses for pictures before an event launching her memoir, "I Am Malala".

Private schools in Pakistan have banned 'I am Malala' due to its alleged 'anti-Islam' and 'anti-Pakistan' content. The book has been written by the youngest Nobel nominee, Malala Yousafzai, Pakistan's own daughter who has been appreciated all over the world for her indomitable fighting spirit against all odds to ensure education for everyone.

Kashif Mirza, the chief of All All Pakistan Private Schools Federation, confirmed the ban to AFP. He has said that the ban was ordered as the book carries certain content which is against the Islamic values. They are also against the ideology of the country, he said. On the other hand, he also said that they had nothing against Malala. He described Ms Yousafzai as confused about what she wrote on the book. Her father instructed the publisher to take the paragraph away from the book where she talked about Salman Rushdie. He also instructed them to write Peace Be Upon Him after mentioning Prophet Mohammad, Mr Mirza informed.

Mr Mirza further informed that around 152,000 private schools in the country were showed solidarity in protest when Malala was shot by the Pakistan Taliban in the Swat Valley. However, her opinions, as clarified in the book, are not acceptable for the use of public schools. He also mentioned that private schools would not buy Malala's book as a library collection. They would not buy the book for any co-curricular activities as well.

'I am Malala' is about Ms Yousafzai and her family's decision to leave Swat Valley. They were among a million other people who left the place in 2009 due to political unrest. The book also talks about the Talibani influence on banning music, television and dancing.

Ms Yousafzai has often been accused of being under the influence if the West since she started living in the U.K. along with her family. However, Malala has already responded to the allegations. She has said that she considers herself to be a Pakistani and she is absolutely proud of being a Pakistani.
