Pakistani Lawmaker attacked and subsequent ban on the Taliban!

[THX_1138]

While the attack on those who play a vital part in upholding democracy and a judicial system is much regretted, Pakistan in an unexpected turn of events has banned the militant, right wing islamic organization: the Taliban. Notorious for their oppressive regime in Afghanistan post the displacement of the Soviet Union endorsed government in Kabul in the late 80s, the Taliban gained world wide notoriety for their so called Islamic regime which was tantamount to an oppressive 'Big Brother' state where women, and members of other religions were relegated to second class citizen status. Furthermore, they bred Afghanistan into a training ground for the terrorist organization: Al Queda. Using Afghanistan as their, Al Queda managed to launch numerous attacks on western, democratic nations such as the United States, Spain and possibly Great Britain. However, following their removal by a coalition of Afghanistani warlords from the north east and an American lead coalition, democracy was restored in Afghanistan and the Taliban pushed into hiding in the Tora Bora region along the Pakistani-Afghanistan border. A region that might possibly be the hideout of the world's most wanted scumbag: Osama (fracked in the head and a leak in the kidney) Bin Laden. However, with the Musharraf regime steadily pushing back along the border and a NATO peacekeeping force raiding their hideouts, the Taliban attempted to extend their sphere of influence into North West Pakistan with their hardline message and militant opposition to democracy and secular reform. A previous confrontation between such ideals was witnessed when the Lal Masjid was under seige by Pakistani law enforcement, a move that considerably wrecked the popularity of the Musharraf government. Nonetheless, with Musharaff stepping down and a number of hardliners in the current government, the ban on the Taliban comes as a surprise, though a welcome surprise to most observers. However, one might argue that such a ban is coming rather late... the Taliban and their sympathizers are deeply ensconced in the Pakistani fabric and removing them might prove to be more tedious than a dried up stain!

It took them this long!:giggle: Anyway it won't be a big help, Pakistan was and will remain breeding ground for fanatics who view the Hindus, the Christians, the Jews, the Buddhist or anyone who is not a fanatic Muslim as their enemey; their goal remains creating chaos because of their ignorance. Even if they get rid of these "kafirs", they will then fight over Shias vs Sunnis, Pathans vs. Pushtos etc etc
