Malala was shot in the head at the age of 15 for daring to speak against the Taliban and suggest that girls had rights to an education. However, this by no means stopped the young activist, and it instead made her voice stronger. She took on the responsibility of trying to make sure all the girls of the world had equal access to an education.

The Gatestone Institute explains this quality in him when they say, “Thus el-Sisi, who, with towering vision and courage, dares to speak openly about the tree of radical Islam and its fruit, when others are afraid, is a truly great Islamic hero” (Tawil 7). This quote summarizes almost everything that Sisi is. It points out how, with his vision, as mentioned earlier in this essay, and ‘towering’ courage, he challenges Islamic extremists and tells them that Islam is not meant to be hated by the whole world and that they are ruining the reputation of it. Sisi is not afraid to say these things even though he knows he is endangering his life by acting against the 2% of the Egyptian population that
