It must be the Taliban's worst nightmare.
Malala Yousfzai, the girl that they shot through the head and left for dead nine months ago, stood last week and addressed the United Nations.
She was eloquent, dignified, powerfully persuasive and exuded the authority of pure conviction.
When I heard her speak of her mission to bring education to millions of girls in the Muslim world, denied it because of the stone-age dogmas of Islam, I stood to my feet and applauded her.
The man who shot her was probably promised eternal bliss with the virgin of Allah's choosing.
But here was one sixteen year old virgin who promises to bring the whole of that house of lies crashing to the floor by one invincible instrument: education in truth.
John 8:32.
