However, the ceasefire agreement broken by the Taliban applied only to violence between the insurgents and the military. It said nothing about Taliban violence directed at the citizens of the Swat Valley, which is now unfolding in time-honored fashion: the subjugation of women and girls is proceeding apace, churches have been attacked, and businesses that sell music are being bombed.
It’s business as usual under sharia, and people are fleeing the region by the thousands. According to Asia News:
Muslims Attack Christian Community in Punjab- - - - - - - - -
One woman has been killed, and 28 people have been injured at the Presbyterian church in Songo. Violence is on the rise in the Swat Valley and in the northern regions. Thousands of people are fleeing after the introduction of sharia, including many teachers and entire families. In Takhtbhai, in the district of Mardan, there have been bomb attacks on 16 music stores.
Peshawar (AsiaNews/Agencies) — One woman has died and 28 people have been injured in an attack on the Presbyterian Christian community in the village of Songo, in the district of Gujranwala, province of Punjab. The attack took place on the evening of March 2: at 8 p.m., a group of Muslim inhabitants opened fire on the faithful who had gathered in the church for prayer. The woman, named Shakeela, died on the spot, while other members of the faithful suffered injuries of various kinds while they were seeking to flee from the bullets or to protect the pastor. The attackers broke the windows of the church, destroyed the Bibles and the other prayer books, and removed the cross from the roof of the building.

The attack in Songo is added to a long list of violent events that are now being seen more or less everywhere in Punjab and in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). The attacks are carried out by the Taliban, but also by ordinary people, and they are not coming to an end in the Swat Valley, where a fragile ceasefire has been attained by the government, thanks to the concession of introducing sharia in that district and in the district of Malakand.
During the night of March 5, the Taliban blew up 16 CD and DVD stores in Takhtbhai, in the district of Mardan northeast of Peshawar, the capital of the NWFP. It is one of the many places in the province that in recent months have come under the grip of the Taliban. In February, it was the theater of attacks against girls’ schools, carried out by Islamic fundamentalists, and in spite of the fact that the agreement between the Taliban and the government provides for the reopening of schools to girls, many are afraid of fresh violence.
Since the beginning of the year, people have been abandoning the Swat Valley by the thousands. These include many families and a number of teachers, who have formally stated that they are going on vacation. One mother who left the district recounts: “All the best teachers from my children’s schools have left. I do not think they will go back. According to my relatives there, many children have gone back to school, but there are now too few teachers.”

I reported yesterday on the Swat Valley hudna, which had predictably evaporated as soon as the Taliban found it expedient to attack Pakistani army forces.
Is there anything more precious than watching Muslims attempting to establish a hudna amongst themselves? How can such vivid examples of Islamic perfidy—within their own circles, no less—fail to inform Western thinking? The mind boggles.
However, the ceasefire agreement broken by the Taliban applied only to violence between the insurgents and the military. It said nothing about Taliban violence directed at the citizens of the Swat Valley, which is now unfolding in time-honored fashion: the subjugation of women and girls is proceeding apace, churches have been attacked, and businesses that sell music are being bombed.
Yet the world continues to willfully delude itself that shari'a is not one massive violation of human rights. How many more people must die, how many more churches must burn, how many more relics will be pulverized into gravel until people finally concede that Islamic law is a gigantic crime against humanity?
Baron this is OT
As you well know, NuLabour’s policies in the last decade have been so disastrous for Britain, not just economically, but more crucially, have put the very existence of Britain in jeopardy. Such policies, one after the other, cannot be coincidence, but a deliberate attempt to destroy historic Britain. Given the Marxist aspirations of Nulabour, and its desire for a socialist world government, it comes as no surprise that Brown goes on and on about global solutions to the current financial crisis. In Britain, this NuLabour government sees the current financial crisis in a positive light, and as a means to bring back socialism into the open.
As long as America stayed wedded to free markets, I knew that NuLabour’s aspirations could never be realised. However things are different now. Here is Diana West
I thought I was going to take this week's column to launch my new pet theory about how Obama is indeed a war president--only his war is against the USA. I came to this admittedly diabolical notion after reading countless financial stories in which assorted analysts wondered how the new president could do this--"this" being spend trillions we don't have to fix a problem caused by spending trillions we don't have, whack the top brackets, raise capital gains taxes, punish charitable giving, etc., etc.--because doing "this" is sure to deepen the crisis. It suddenly occurred to me that the president wants to deepen the crisis. He doesn't want the markets to recover.

It is indeed pleasant to see Hudna being practised among Muslims. However, along with the implementaion of sharia, comes the usual murder and ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims.
One woman has been killed, and 28 people have been injured at the Presbyterian church in Songo. Violence is on the rise in the Swat Valley and in the northern regions.
Muslims attack Christian community in Punjab
This will happen in parts of Britain, Europe and America, where sharia is recognised. There is no evidence whatever that we will be exceptions to the general rule.
DP111: This will happen in parts of Britain, Europe and America, where sharia is recognised. There is no evidence whatever that we will be exceptions to the general rule.
Precisely. That is why it is so important for these Muslim goons to continue providing their usual internecine freak show of murder and mayhem.
Most disgusting of all is how the, "If it bleeds, it leads", Mainstream Media so adamantly ignores the spectacular bloodshed and violence that would normally be 60 point banner headlines above the fold, if only it were incited by Whites or Christians.
Instead, Islam's gruesome juggernaut continues to slide along its gore-slicked path beneath Western radar, cheered on by our Muslim Fifth Columns and Liberal deconstructionists.
The only question remaining is whether there will be conventional or nuclear Hell to pay. Each day's delay in aggressively responding to Islam's predation only removes more of our conventional options from the table.
Zenster,
read sometimes intermuslim discussions. They accuse each other of being takfiris, or someone else.
The job of fighting kuffaar continues
- the Paki army personal is obviously "takfiri".
