“We can’t accept Islamic law at gunpoint,” said Farooq Sattar, a top party leader.

Well, obviously you can.

Key ally in the 'war on terror', harbouring yet more of the 'enemy' in said war. What an idiotic government.

to impose Islamic law...in exchange for a cease-fire between security forces and the local Taliban.

That deal should last about week.

As long as this ridiculous legalized rape law stays there and doesn't come to my hometown, then I don't think we should worry too much. If the Pakistanis want this law, so be it, but keep it there.

This is not a victory to the Taliban. It is the desire of the general population to have Sharia law, not the Taliban. This is true democracy for the traditional folk of the border region.
