Taliban won't give up arms in SWAT; Vows Sharia Law in all of Pakistan....
The government should never have made a deal with the Taliban...
A resurgent Taliban in Pakistan’s northwestern Swat valley on Monday vowed to enforce Islamic laws across the country while ruling out the possibility of laying down arms following the implementation of sharia in the region.
The sharia or Islamic law regime approved recently by President Asif Ali Zardari will not be confined to Malakand division, which includes Swat, and the Taliban wants the system to be enforced in other parts of Pakistan, Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said on Monday.
“(Sharia) is not only for Malakand division, it is for all humanity, for all Muslims. So we will go more for implementation of Quran, not only in Malakand division (but) other parts of Pakistan also,” Khan told Dawn News.
Asked about religious hardliner Sufi Muhammad’s assurance that the Taliban in Swat would surrender their weapons once sharia is enforced in the region, Khan replied: “We don’t know about that because we are Pashtuns and any Pashtun has a gun”.

The Pakistanis are learning the hard way what we in the west had better pay attention to...when you shake hands with the devil you had better count your fingers when he lets go.
I think they knew that all along, and still went and gave in to them.
You simply cannot trust an Islamist.
