A crowd of 3,000 rallied, demanding President Asif Ali Zardari sign an Islamic law bill in Swat, Pakistan. (NAVEED ALI/ASSOCIATED PRESS)
They look like REGULAR PEOPLE to ME!!!!

See the YOUNG BOYS, readers?!!!!
Oh, Fatima, will you gather my tears if any of them are murdered by our abominable missiles? Will you collect the tears of a non-practicing non-Muslim for presentation to Allah?
"Pakistan agrees to Islamic deal; Valley put under strict religious law" by Asif Shahzad, Associated Press | April 14, 2009
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The country's pro-US president signed a regulation late yesterday to put a northwestern district under Islamic law as part of a peace deal with the Taliban, going along after coming under intense pressure from members of his party and other lawmakers.
Asif Ali Zardari's signature was a boon for Islamic militants who have brutalized the Swat Valley for nearly two years in demanding a new justice system.
Yeah, PAY NO ATTENTION to the U.S. MISSILE STRIKES!!!
It was sure to further anger human rights activists and feed fears among the United States and other Western allies that the valley will turn into a sanctuary for militants close to Afghanistan.
And CUI BONO, 'eh, Amurka! Better gussy up for more war!
Whatever criticism may come, Zardari can claim some political cover - the National Assembly voted unanimously yesterday to adopt a resolution urging his signature, although at least one party boycotted. Earlier, a Taliban spokesman had warned lawmakers against opposing the deal....
Even without the president's approval, judges trained in Islamic law began hearing cases in Swat, and witnesses say Taliban fighters are in effective control of much of the region. The provincial government also agreed to other measures under the peace deal, such as cracking down on prostitution and sales of movies deemed "obscene."
Supporters say the changes in the legal system will speed up justice, not lead to harsh punishments or restrict the rights of women. Critics say the agreement is a surrender to extremists whose tactics include beheading opponents and burning girls' schools.
I'm having a harder and harder time believing that coming from the Muslim-hating AmeriKan MSM! I believe Muslims love their women and children just like we do.
The events yesterday "strengthened the militants," said Mahmood Shah, an analyst and former top security official in northwest Pakistan.
We better invade now, AmeriKa!
Shah noted Taliban fighters in Swat recently staged a violent foray into the neighboring Buner district, possibly to put the heat on lawmakers and Zardari to support the deal. "They have really forced the government to do that," he said.
I heard they were hitting the 'frisco beaches next week.
Those brokering the deal have given few specifics about conditions placed on the Taliban in Swat, including whether they have to give up their weapons. But the Swat Taliban's spokesman, Muslim Khan, suggested after the parliament vote that disarming was at least an option.
"We had picked up weapons for the sake of a justice system, and we will put them down for the sake of a justice system," he said.
How unreasonable!!!!
Lawmakers from the Muttahida Quami Movement, a party based in the southern city of Karachi that has a strong anti-Taliban stance, walked out of the parliament session before the vote on the resolution. "We can't accept Islamic law at gunpoint," said Farooq Sattar, a top party leader.
They just said they are putting them down!
Expect a "suicider" any day now!
Muslim Khan would not say if the Taliban would target legislators who opposed the deal, saying only that a militant council would discuss the matter.
See?

Meanwhile, ABOUT THOSE MISSILES!!!!
"US missile kills alleged militants in tribal region; Strike follows Pakistani effort to halt attacks" by Nahal Toosi, Associated Press | April 9, 2009
ISLAMABAD - A US missile struck a car in a northwest Pakistani tribal region yesterday, intelligence officials said, killing two suspected insurgents and a civilian a day after the country again told visiting US officials it opposes such attacks.
FLASHBACK:
"60 drone hits kill 14 al-Qaeda men, 687 civilians
by Amir Mir
April 10, 2009
LAHORE: Of the 60 cross-border predator strikes carried out by the Afghanistan-based American drones in Pakistan between January 14, 2006 and April 8, 2009, only 10 were able to hit their actual targets, killing 14 wanted al-Qaeda leaders, besides perishing 687 innocent Pakistani civilians. The success percentage of the US predator strikes thus comes to not more than six per cent....
Most of these attacks were carried out on the basis of intelligence believed to have been provided by the Pakistani and Afghan tribesmen who had been spying for the US-led allied forces stationed in Afghanistan. The remaining 50 drone attacks went wrong due to faulty intelligence information, killing hundreds of innocent civilians, including women and children....
--more--"
Yeah, the Zionist-controlled, Muslim-hating, war-promoting, agenda-pushing AmeriKan MSM wouldn't want you to know that!!!!
Btw, the "Al-CIA-Duh" men are INNOCENT, too!!!!!
9/11 was an INSIDE JOB!!!!!!!
And about that "opposition" (wink, wink):
"Pakistani officials have made clear that they regard the Predator attacks as a less objectionable violation of Pakistani sovereignty"
So they get both!
The strike suggested that the Obama administration won't give up a Bush-era tactic that Washington says has killed a string of Al Qaeda operatives along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, even if it strains relations with Islamabad.
MORE NON-CHANGE!! In fact, this guy is WORSE than BUSH when it comes to mass-murdering Pakistanis with missile strikes!
Elsewhere in Pakistan's northwest, residents tried to force out a group of Taliban fighters who ventured into their community from a militant stronghold in the neighboring Swat Valley, triggering a clash that left at least five combatants dead. Signaling the militancy's reach, police in the south said they detained five members of an Al Qaeda-linked group who planned suicide attacks in the city of Karachi.
Yeah, "Al-CIA-Duh," yup!!
The missile strike occurred near Wana, the main town in South Waziristan tribal region, two intelligence officials said. South Waziristan is the main base of Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud, but there was no indication he was the target.
Killing a dead guy?
See: The Hallmarks of a False-Flag Attack at Pakistani Police Academy
A drone had been flying over the area, and the missile struck after people in the car fired at the aircraft, the officials said, citing informants and agents in the field.
OOOPS!! Let it slip, did they?
The attack damaged some shops in the village of Shin Warsak, wounding at least five villagers and killing one, they said. The slain militants were from Pakistan's eastern Punjab province, one official said. Both said Taliban fighters took away the militants' bodies. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media.
US officials rarely discuss the missile campaign, which has escalated since August. Several dozen such missile attacks, believed launched by unmanned, CIA-operated drones, have been carried out in the northwest. Pakistan has protested the strikes as a violation of its sovereignty, contradicting rumors that the two countries have a secret deal allowing the strikes....
I know!
The militants appear to be extending their reach far beyond Pakistan's tribal regions. Sometimes they meet resistance. A group of Pakistani Taliban fighters crossed late Monday from Swat into Buner, a previously peaceful district on the Indus River 60 miles northwest of the capital, Islamabad.
After the militants ignored appeals from community leaders to go back, armed tribesmen and police confronted them, sparking a battle that killed three officers and two tribesmen, local police officer Zakir Khan said. Khan said more than a dozen Taliban also died but provided no evidence to back that assertion.
Behramand Khan, another police official in Buner, said that the militants handed the five bodies to the police and that negotiations were under way for them to withdraw. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan called the clash a "misunderstanding" stemming from some Taliban fighters' desire to visit a local cleric.
Who knows what happened, and the last place I'd expect to find the truth would be the Muslim-hating, agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM!!!
Maybe the "Taliban terrorists" are attacking the "Al-CIA-Duh" assets, huh?
That would get you bad press.

More faces: AmeriKa Worse Than the Russians in Afghanistan
I Don't Want to Kill Them Anymore
U.S. Missile Range Extended in Pakistan
Update:
".... Federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said yesterday that the pact was little more than a tactical maneuver in the country's "long war" with extremists.
Translation: expect more death and destruction!
"Those people who want to hijack Pakistan and destabilize Pakistan, they used [the demand for speedy justice] as a propaganda tool," Kaira said....
CUI BONO?
He insisted the Sharia legislation would not bring in a version of Islamic law like that introduced by the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan.... A spokesman for the Taliban said the militants would cooperate. If the law is quickly implemented, "the world will see how much peace and prosperity comes to this region," Muslim Khan said.
Too bad we will never give you a chance, sir!
Many observers, however, doubt their ambitions end there....
Like who, jewsmedia?
Muhammad said his followers would tour all districts of Malakand, including Buner, to "ensure peace." He also said the courts would interpret civil rights according to Islamic strictures.
"Women will have full protection and rights under Sharia. They will live a better life - but behind the veil," he said.

Update II:
Did I CALL IT ABOVE ("expect a "suicider" any day now!") or what?
Hey, I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT, I'm ANGRY as HELL about BEING RIGHT!!
"Suicide car bomber hits Pakistan
A suicide car bomber has attacked a security post in north-western Pakistan, killing at least six police and two civilians, police say. The bomber set off his explosives as he pulled up at a checkpoint in Charsadda, a town near the city of Peshawar. There has so far been no claim of responsibility for the attack.
But correspondents say Pakistani Taleban militants, allied to al-Qaeda, have carried out numerous such attacks over the past two years. The bombing shattered windows of buildings near the explosion and destroyed power cables, plunging the area into darkness, police told the BBC.
I've seen this piece of propaganda before!?!
"We had information that some people from Swat wanted to get into Peshawar to carry out terrorist attacks, so we had beefed up the force at the check post," Peshawar police chief Sifwat Ghyur said. He said that the bomb left a crater about 3m wide, while the surrounding area is littered with blood spattered bodies and debris....
You beefed up security yet they got through anyway?
Will someone fix that broken record?

Yeah, "suicider," right!
That's what the Muslim-hating AmeriKan jewspress says about everything! I no longer buying or believing, guys, so time to change that tune or whooooooosh, flush!
