his was just one of several signs in the past ten days that a creeping campaign to “Talebanise” Pakistan has spread from tribal areas on the Afghan border right to the heart of the capital. And to judge from the Government’s response, even here it is reluctant to confront the radical clerics who openly preach jihad (holy war) and defy the writ of the state.Read the rest here.

There's very little good news from Pakistan these days. Time is on the side of the Taleban, and as y'all know, Pakistan has nukes. So if the Taleban take over Pakistan (which is getting more likely with time), they'll have nukes. And once the Taleban has nukes, al-Qaeda will have nukes. And once al-Qaeda has nukes, all bets are off.

1 Pakistan is nothing more than a pseudo-country carved out of the ancient India civilization by a bunch Muslim bigots.

The name itself is a made-up one also which means "The province of the clean" since Mo-slimes consider non-Muslims unclean.

For this reason, not only is Pakistan not going to confront Islamists;
in fact quite the opposite, Pakistan needs Islamism to justify its
existence.

2 My trigger finger is starting to itch.  Sounds like a little "civil engineering" of the mountain range (and surrounds) with some thermal "imaging" might help improve the quality of the neighborhood.   A sort of urban renewal.

3 Trusting Pakistan is trusting muslims. You just can't do it. We are at war with this gutter religion.
