Pakistan OKs Sharia Law -
04-13-2009, 08:25 PM
Appeasement rears its ugly head as the cowardly Pakistani government hands control over the Swat Valley region to the Taliban.

Pakistan deal enshrines sharia law
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari signed into law Monday a peace deal for the nation's violence-plagued Swat Valley, according to a presidential spokesman.

The deal implements Islamic law, or sharia, in the Swat Valley region of North West Frontier Province.
Last week, pro-Taliban cleric Sufi Mohammad announced he was pulling out of a peace deal for Swat Valley, saying the government was not serious about implementing Islamic law, or sharia, in the region.
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Saturday the peace deal remained intact.
Mohammad brokered a cease-fire in February between the Pakistani government and his son-in-law, Maulana Fazlullah, who commands the Taliban in Swat Valley.
Although details of the deal were not immediately available, it was understood that the area will come under the Taliban's strict interpretation of sharia.
The central government has little control in the area, but it launched an intense military offensive in late July 2008 to flush out militants from areas of the North West Frontier Province.
As retaliation for the military presence, the Taliban carried out a series of deadly attacks, beheadings and destruction of girls' schools. They also continued to gain ground, setting up checkpoints throughout the area.
Pakistan is under enormous pressure to control the militants within its borders. The militants are blamed for launching attacks in neighboring Afghanistan, where U.S. and NATO forces are fighting militants.
Swat Valley was once one of Pakistan's biggest tourist destinations. It is near the Afghanistan border and is 186 miles (300 kilometers) from the capital, Islamabad.

That's right, Pakistan is giving the Taliban, friends to Al-Quaeda, free reign over an area adjacent to the Afghan border . . . where Godly American troops are fighting these same terrorists!

Maybe I just don't care about that part of the world, but I assumed that it was already run by Mullahs and the Taliban. Is this news?
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Pakistan is supposedly helping the US deal with Taliban terrorists along the border with Afghanistan.
How exactly is granting them free rein "helping the US"?

You certainly have to hand it to the Mooselimbs, they are getting Sharia law enacted in country after country. Aside from our failure to get Biblical Law enacted in the US, we can't even get some decent regulation passed on mixed fiber clothing.
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

How appropriate that it is called Swat Valley, as the Lord will know where all the pests are!
BEHOLD!!!

May Jesus guide this Bus off a cliff and STRAIGHT TO HELL!

Jesus works in mysterious ways, sister. Ways more mysterious than a female mind can grasp.
I'm not allowed to say any more.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

The liberals would kick up a tremendous fuss if we were to just indiscriminately bomb an area that was supposedly populated by "friendly" ragheads. But now it's under sharia law, it's a legitimate target, so we can just carpet-bomb away, safe in the knowledge that we won't be killing any "innocent civilians", just enemy combatants.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Of course, why didn't I think of that?
