Taliban situtation getting worse in Pakistan

Or is it Polk-ee-Stan. The Taliban in Pakistan have issued a direct challenge to the legitimacy of the Pakistani government, by declaring the country’s entire legal system “un-Islamic.” From Communist News Network:

“Let the judges and the lawyers go to Islamic university,” said Muslim Khan, a Taliban spokesman in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. “(After) they learn Islamic rules, Islamic regulation, they can continue to work.”

In a telephone interview Tuesday with CNN, Khan demanded the imposition of Islamic sharia law all across the country. He also called for the creation of jaziya, an Islamic tax, to be levied on all non-Muslims in Pakistan. And Khan denounced any Pakistanis who disagreed with his interpretation of Islam, calling them “non-Muslims.”

The Taliban militant echoed statements made by Sufi Muhammed, an Islamist fundamentalist leader who helped broker a peace deal between the Pakistani government and the Taliban in Swat Valley.

Last week, the deal led to the implementation of sharia law in Swat, an alpine region that was once one of Pakistan’s most popular destinations for foreign tourists.

WTF?! Polk-Ee-Stan has popular destination for tourists? Well, maybe for our President Hussein Obama.
