Malala YousafzaiMalala Yousafzai has condemned Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

The Nobel Prize winner said that Trump’s comments were “full of hatred” and that blaming Muslims for terrorism would only “radicalise more terrorists”.

Malala was speaking at an event to mark one year since a Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar, Pakistan left more than 140 people, mostly children, dead.

Pakistan’s President, Prime Minister and Chief of Army were among several top leaders who attended a commemoration ceremony at the Army Public School, where the massacre happened.

Malala also reiterated her call for quality education around the world to “defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred” that led to events such as the Peshawar attack.

Other speakers at the event include survivors of the attack, including a 16-year-old, who lost his younger brother, and a 13-year-old who was paralysed from the waist down from gunshot wounds.

Schools and colleges in some provinces in Pakistan were closed on Wednesday to mark the one year anniversary.
In 2012, Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban.
