Taliban's Invasion

By: Almas Khan

The Taliban has taken over a small town known as the Burner district near Islamabad, Pakistan. The Taliban has taken over this town to enforce Islamic laws, according to Moulana Mohammad Khalil. The Taliban set up rallies in Swat Valley demanding Islamic laws all across Pakistan. They have their men with guns patrolling around the town. Mian Iftikhar said that they have already violated the peace agreement and he would not allow the Taliban to form a government there. Talibans consider democracy and Pakisatan's judicial system as un islamic. The Pakistani govenrment seems passive and not aggressive with the Taliban. The thing that the US government fears the most is that Pakistan is a country with nuclear weapons and if the Taliban take control over the country there is a huge threat to USA.
