Bad news that the government has given in to demands of the scoundrels in Swat...they say that Nizam i adl is to be imposed in Malakand/Swat now...thus giving in to the mullahs by the authorities...a black day, sad and shameful...how could you let murderors and criminals to have their way like this...instead of crushing them like pests and vermin that they are, they're being rewarded by giving in to their medieval, absurd, and contorted demands. Way to go! Be that as it may, looks like this cancer will spread and spread until it will eventually remove the smug smirks from the faces of johnies who call themselves arjuns, jaypees, ajeyas, nkgs and stuff...and all their baniya's hard painstaking work that they have done for themselves in business finagling would eventually come down to aught!

khyber #10 This is indeed a shameful day, when the elected representatives of the swati people were ignored and the state put under the tender mercies of the scoundrels who wear the mask of "islam" and "sharia" to hide their power-grab.

Kakakhel mentioned that due to the deteriorating law and order situation, the human rights in the area had suffered a fatal blow and there was no writ of the government in the areas and that the Constitution of Pakistan was partially in abeyance. He stated that the worst sufferers were the jail inmates who were rotting in confinement without trial and protection of courts as due to Taliban attacks and military operation the prisoners confined in jails of Swat and Dir were not having adequate food, shelter and medical treatment.

The petitioner stated that not only the high court had directed that no trial of accused shall be held before the regular courts in Swat and Dir but also the prime minister had reportedly stated that due to law and order situation, the courts in these area would not be able to resume its proper functions in about 5 years time. The lawyer said the high court was duty-bound to look after the interest of the citizens of the NWFP and their fundamental rights.

The war in swat is over. Even the paki PM has declared that there no paki law in force in wat and all prisoneres should be released.

Kamal, take it from me, a new swat has come into being and more of pakiland will become like swat.

India’s role
Observers in Washington say that if a regional approach leads to inviting India to join the hunt for militants in the tribal areas, it cannot be acceptable to Pakistan.
US officials have indicated that while they do not want to necessarily involve India in the tribal fight, they do believe that India has a role to play in bringing peace to Afghanistan.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, however, indicated earlier this week that the United States was finding it difficult to encourage greater cooperation between Pakistan and Afghanistan in fighting the militants along their border.

I wonder why hillary is finding that teh pakis are not really interested in huntingjihadis. Take it from me Hillary, teh paki army and jihadis are the same, driven by the motto of jihad. Paki army can fight only kafirs, full stop.

Re: # 6

Hmmm .... Islam is never responsible for all this for the past 1400 years.. Let me see who all are:

- International Drug mafia (Latest on the billboard)
- False muslims like Taliba
- Hanoods
- Yahoods
- Evil Christians
- Islamophobes (curiously, muslims kill those who leave Islam, but these 'islamophobes' don't kill their own if they stoop to joining Islam. So who has the phobia here ??)
- Columbia
- Mexico
- Ahmadis
- Russia
- Mungerilal

Mogambo khush hua ......

It is very likely that the Taliban are in direct engagement with the international drug mafia. This would provide them critical independence from their earlier paymasters : the Pak army. This would also mean they will be willing to engage in violent crimes for monetary rewards.

Two incidents make sense :

(1) The occupation of Swat, which is severely against the wishes of Pak army (the strategic interests of Pakistan are served as long as the Taliban infest Afghanistan, not the interior of Pakistan) was probably done to find a safer haven for the cultivation of poppies as the earlier areas are under threat from the NATO offensive. The kind of brutal terror that the Swat Taliban is engaged in is definitely reminiscent of the doings of drug mafia in Colombia or Mexico.

(2) The Mumbai attacks, which are clearly a ploy (or an excuse) to divert the Pak army onto the eastern frontier could have been truly been arranged for by non-state actors .. which are the international drug mafia. The mafia definitely has the money and skill to engage in such an operation (though the training and mental brainwashing could have been done in close concert with the Pak army)

LeT = Sarkari funded Jehadi,

Talibanis = non-sarkari funded Jehadi


Now there is going to be an automatic merger of the two.

Paki Elites thought that their sarkari funded jehadis are going to follow their dictats.

Now this illusion is breaking and soon the monster is going to go after them .including th esarkari ones they once trained and funded!!!

General Hamid Gul Zindabad!!
Hamid Gul for the first PM of Taliban Republic of Pakistan!!

The people of Orakzai say that the government and the military should have done more to help the tribe, especially when it had decided to take on the Taliban by raising its own lashkar. They say that had that help been forthcoming the situation perhaps would be different to what it is today – where the government's writ is confined only to the agency's headquarters and the Taliban control most of the rest of Orakzai. Every day, people are kidnapped, killed, beheaded or publicly insulted by the Taliban, who like in other parts of FATA, have also set up their own so-called 'sharia' courts. In recent weeks, a mentally ill man was even beheaded by the Taliban – he was a Shia and had mistakenly entered an area which the Taliban had banned for all Shia tribesmen.


//////from jang of today///////and it is about another place orakxai under taliban control. Onceagain what is noticeable is the support of the paki militay for teh taliban.

Time is not very far when large sections of the paki army will join taliban/

That is when the pakiland will be de-nuked

Kamal bhai,

Youi will have to write a lot more requim artcles for a lot more places in pakistan. Years and years ago when I have repeatedly posted that the k for kafir education and the madrassas will deliver a jihadic pakistan no one beleived.

It was said that madrassas are not producing violence and the jihadis are a small fraction. The fact is that jihadis and such elements are alawys small fractions, but the majority supports them and that is what has happened in pakistan. More nd more areas will come under taliban and they are supported by the army, which can figh only against the kafirs because of the jihad doctrine of the army.

Nothing can be done and posters are coming up in islabad that their next target is the cities of pakistan.
