No, you’ll know them by checking on the country on their profile. There are very few non-Muslims in Pakistan and the Arab countries. You’d probably be surprised by the number of Muslims who support her if you just check.

[MrColigings]

By region. I know of many Muslims, by the way, who support her. She's a Muslim too, after all.

Go Malala. Rock it!

That person might say it... Like, openly. Instead of practicing taqiyya and be happy about her assassination attempt.

How would anyone know someone's religion or atheism based on a YouTube user name?
