Swat

Maulana Sufi, the conqueror of Swat has succeeded in bringing the formidable Government of the Frontier to its knees signing an agreement in principle with the ANP leadership, ordering the withdrawal of the Pakistan army, and the establishing of his Sharia throughout Swat.
This has sent anxiety ripples throughout the other religious sects Shias, Agha Khanis, women etc etc, all worried that their rights may be trampled as not in consonance with the diktat of Maulana Sufi.
This does not include the latent threat of the Maulana in claiming that he will not stop till his brand has been established throughout the Province, and then the whole of Pakistan. Not only is this a tall order, but it could trigger the breakaway of other similar preachers with their own brands.
For instance there is one faction that allows Haj at one point in Balochistan, and this Haj they claim will bestow two and a half of the regular Hajs. Thus what Maulana Sufi's brand may do to the beliefs of the others will remain to be seen.
The other important point being that someone will have to enforce whatever law is subscribed, be it Roman, English, Islamic Shiite, or Sunni, r now Sufi. Who will be the enforcer?
As the Pakistan Army has been ordered to with draw by the elected Government then who will be the keeper of the faith, or will the Maulana's Taliban control the streets, and the people? Will the Taliban laws as practiced in Afghanistan be proscribed for Pakistan? What will be then the Army's role? These are the multiple layers of problems facing Swat, with consequential ripples radiating outward from Mingora.
For the time being the Western powers including NATO, US and the Allied forces are voicing their serious concerns. The Polish Government is still asking for the arrest and punishment of the murderers of their Polish citizen who was recently beheaded on camera, with the Video sent to Pakistan for good measure.
