Re: Areas are breaking away?
Hareem, that's utter BULL. What do you think the government has been doing for the past few years? These guys have been festering in NWFP since America went into Afghanistan, and since then they've been trying to engage them in peaceful dialogue. They have had MMA in the government for that reason - to be a go between to negotiate peacefully with these terrorists.
Walking in and taking Swat, taking down the Pakistani flag, and putting up their own flag, is a terrible sign. There is a limit to peaceful negotiations, and the Prophet's history shows this to us. The Prophet dealt with treason very intensely - he killed anyone caught committing treason. So, why is it that when it comes to some bearded guys in NWFP, you have a soft spot?
You just worry for your BI.
