You mean descendants not decedents. We want them to be decedents--if they are decedents the world would be a better place. Your article could have been summed up short and sweet as follows: The Taliban, descendants of the mujahidin heroes, should be converted to decedents and sharia/Hadood laws should be abrogated to salvage Pakistan. Keep hoping. Pakistan is an Islamic state. It has no wish to become a secular state and the Pakistan Peoples Part has no power to make it so. The Taliban will hide among the people, mingle with the civilians, look no different, speak no different, who can tell the difference; they will lie low in their sleeper cells, the US will be lulled into security, Saudi Arabia will feed the Taliban's maws as usual and then BAM bombs and bullets will rain again. The sharia and the Hadood and all the other Islamic mumbo jumbo, which you yourself, an erudite man, are loath to relinquish, giving belabored religious explanations for what the Prophet meant in previous posts, are great tools in the hands of the plutocrats of Pakistan to control the people and keep them ignorant. The bread and circus of Islam is a political tool in the hands of the rich to keep the poor thinking that the Prophet wanted it the way the oligarchs want it. This keeps the rich rich, the poor living in hovels busy with their sufferings and Pakistan rolling along as an Islamic nation. America is an ignorant fool for imagining that years of political exploitation of the poor will cease and Pakistan will change for the better with the SWAT valley sweep. Unless Pakistan treats its poor with equity and justice, unless it really behaves as a democracy, unless it stops splitting hairs about what dead prophets meant about this or that millenniums ago, it will continue to harbor terrorists. And let's not forget Kashmir, an eternal bugaboo in Pakistan's flesh. Pakistan needs her terrorists to keep bothering India.

You are indeed a good speller. Thank you for commenting and correcting my spelling mistake.

Pakistan through its various dictators acting as mercenaries in the interest of self-preservation is now populated by a large number of extremist Muslims.
The ancestors of the Taliban, the Mujahideen were collected from all over the world and trained by Pakistan Army & the United States to fight the Soviet infidel. Madrassas were built all over Pakistan with America's nod and Saudi money.
This has been going on for thirty years and the end result is mad Taliban and disruption of civilian life.
Sharia/Hadood laws are the backbone of Taliban Ideology. The enforcement of these laws and setting up a government with a spiritual head/Caliph /Khomeni is the goal of these mad zealots. They would like to go back 1400 years and will eat “Manna” for dinner. Supported by drug-money and thugs Taliban are not as simple and ordinary as they appear. They have taken a leaf from the Inquisition in Christianity and use fear and public humiliation at the end of gun to enforce their brand of made-up Islam

While controlling Swat these crooks used Robin Hood tactics by seizing land from wealthy owners and giving it away to poor tenants. Of course the land was never theirs to give away in the first place, but through this fraudulent move they were able to convince some locals.
The Taliban through their madness have finally offered Pakistan’s government a chance to repeal Sharia & Hadood laws and transform Pakistan into a secular country like Turkey where the majority religion is Muslim.
Pakistan police must be re-trained and Judiciary organized to deliver quick justice. The Shariat courts should be dissolved and merged into the regular court system.

India must remove its forces from Kashmir and allow the Kashmiris' to prosper and lead a normal life. This will automatically marginalize fighters in Kashmir.

India cannot move the Earth- plates away from Pakistan. India must capitalize on making peace with Pakistan. After all it shares, language, culture, food and a history of thousands of years. The British colonized India and ruled by dividing Hindus & Muslims and turning them against each other through clever manipulation, and finally culminating in massive bloodshed in 1947.
