The government of Pakistan has officially put a portion of the country under Sharia law. Sharia law, or Muslim religious law, is being adopted in the violent northwest Pakistan region. Swat Valley is the hub of Taliban activity in Pakistan and is in the new Sharia area.
This shows violent militants that their tactics work. If a nation incorporates Sharia into the national legal system, people will be punished violently for breaking laws that repress a person’s way of life.
I hope that non-extremists quickly leave the area for their own safety and security. Moderate Muslims often fall victim to the Taliban.
Pakistani lawmakers suggested the change after months of terrorism and violence from Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists. The Middle East is a changing place, and this change is not for the better for Israel or the people of Pakistan.
