First brutal public killing of a few theives in Karachi where they were burned alive and now this :
=======================================
LANDI KOTAL, May 20: Militant group Lashkar-i-Islam publicly executed an elder belonging to a rival group in Bara tehsil on Tuesday.
Maulana Mastamin had been kidnapped on Dec 20. Initially, the Lashkar denied it had kidnapped the maulana.
The execution was watched by hundreds of people in Gogrina village of Bazaar-Zakhakhel area near Tirah valley.
A squad of Lashkar-i-Islam gunned the maulana down after the ‘death sentence’ was announced by the Lashkar’s Shura based in Gogrina.
The maulana was blindfolded with his hands and feet tied with ropes.
Maulana Mastamin was associated with several peace committees formed in Bara on different occasions.
Sources said the self-proclaimed amir of Lashkar-i-Islam Mangal Bagh was in Gogrina at the time of the execution.
The maulana had been receiving death threats for a long time and Mangal Bagh had been demanding his surrender.
A spokesman for Lashkar-i-Islam alleged that Maulana Mastamin was an agent of the United States and involved in the killing of scores of people during clashes with Ansaarul Islam in Tirah.
Maulana Mastamin’s father Mohammad Amin criticised the local political administration for having failed to protect his son. http://dawn.com/2008/05/21/top7.htm
It is a sad incident indeed, under no circumstances it can be compared with beating and burning of Dacoit in Karachi, yes u can compare it with mass murders executed by Islamic and ethinic militants in all over Pakistan and later in Karachi.

^ It's all about taking law in your hands and publicly executing people....What people did in Karachi was also taking law in hands and constitute extremism and terrorism. Burning people alive since when is part of educated societies. Similarly in this case executing your opponents in front of the public without following any rules of law is an example of barbarism.
Yes parts of Pakistan are very uncivilised still upholding stone-age rigid views and beliefs
These self-styled mullahs are the worst dictators of all, really evil....Just calling yourself lashkar or sipah this and that does not make one noble or great.

So far only the "uncivilized" parts of the country have shown "executing" people who didn't conform to their views/values. But as recent lynching of dacoits in Karachi and Lahore (?) shows, people are getting frustrated due to lawlessness around the country. If law enforcement does not improve society will fall into hands of anarchists, "might is right" will be the only law, it will be truely a jungle... right now we only see jungle in some parts of the country only.
Sad but true, that Pakistan is becoming increasingly lawless and it is not co-incidence that the islamic law lobby has grown louder in the same period. Civilized and developed countries separate religion from government but in Pakistan you find religion in not only government but also in military, which is frankly more powerful than government.
Crooks using Islam as a cover and clerics using Islam as philosophy have become increasingly indistinguishabe in terms of actions they undertake or sanction.
The result is a foolishly aggressive population that tends to look for ways to blame foreigners for all ills, even while committing the crimes themselves.
Given the size and level of radicalism, I'd put Pakistan worse than Afghanistan under Taleban regime, in terms of danger.
…I disagree and here is proof positive:
