Hundreds of residents in northern Pakistan attacked villages suspected of sheltering Taliban militants following a mosque bombing last week, authorities said Sunday.

It's such a pity that the Government had previously agreed that deal with the Talaban to give them Swat.

It's a pretty stunning development. The Taliban is getting their butts kicked by villagers; Hamas got the their butts kicked; it appears that moderates may win in Iran; Moderates won in Kuait; and etc. Could it be that Muslims are taking back their religion and land from the death cults?
