“This made me cry,” Madonna said, according to Entertainment Today. “The 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot on a schoolbus for writing a blog about how important education was to her. The Taliban stopped her bus and shot her … Do you understand the sickness and absurdity of this?

“Support education! Support the people who support women!” she shouted.

She proceeded to strip down while performing. “Malala” was written on her back. Now there are reports that Pakistan citizens are finding it tasteless, and Entertainment Weekly provided some tweets:

“Get it Right: Associating #Madonna with #Malala IS DISRESPECT TO #Malala!!! Plz. Give #Malala a rest!” wrote @OHPakistan to NBC News’ Amna Nawaz on Friday. Also weighing in was user @bijm30caahm, who wrote, “Not the right way to pay Homage to Brave Malala. Its a way to earn cheap self popularity.”

A friend of Yousafzai told Christian Science Monitor that a group of Taliban militants stopped their school bus. One militant, hooded, boarded and shouted, ‘Which one of you is Malala? Speak up, otherwise I will shoot you all. She is propagating against the soldiers of Allah, the Taliban. She must be punished.”

The militant then recognized the blogger and shot her twice at point-blank range. She remains in critical condition.
