#1 She's not fooling anybody. The taliban may've shot her but the proper reaction of such a victim would have been to denounce islam. It has been argued that she remains muslim to influence an reform her society from within, and greatly helps the cause of women. But all her talk of the 'right islam' and 'extremist islam' has only helped lawfarers and infiltrators in western society. Her best friends are still hard core muslims and activists and she's been known to speak for paleos and rohingyas. Also see this :

#3 Her father was a student activist and now works for the groups seeking to bring moderate thinking to Pakistain. A voice of reason really. A lot of the revolutionary zeal required to shrug off the current system can be found in marxist ideas, so the Pakhtun Students' Union and others may use that. Also, he may lean left only because from the Pakistan State's perspective, it is itself a right-wing state. One man's left is another man's right and all that.

She may not be a villain, but whatever force seeks to establish islam as a religion of peace in the public eye, equating its ethic with feminism and modernity, is unwittingly dangerous.

She represents the insane feminist that says 'It's my right to wear a hijab and submit to sharia !'
