Malala death threat dropped in UK
UK Muslim extremists have withdrawn their threat to behead a teenage girl who is recovering in a British hospital after she was shot by the Taliban in Pakistan.
The group, Shariah4Pakistan, lifted its threat of a death sentence on Malala Yousafzai, for her efforts to promote education for girls.
Malala, 15, made headlines around the world when Taliban fighters shot her in the head because she defied their bid to impose strict sharia law.
Fundamentalists in Shariah4Pakistan accused Malala of apostasy - a capital crime under some interpretations of Sharia. Fanatics accused her of failing to wear a hijab, failing to wage jihad, or holy war, and of helping US forces in Pakistan.
