The following reveals the attitude of the Taliban who are growing stronger in Pakistan and Afghanistan.  Behind this statement, we believe, is a world of individuals longing for something that satisfies.
“We hate democracy,” Sufi told a crowd of thousands of followers in Mingora after the ratification of the Malakand Accord was announced in mid-February. “We want the occupation of Islam in the entire world. Islam does not permit democracy or election.” [Sufi Muhammad, spokesman for an organization believed to be a front for the Taliban, quoted by The Long War Journal] http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2009/04/analysis_pakistani_t.php

Instead of reacting with fear to the strong statement-see the desire in it.Pray that God will work among the people of the tribal territories of western Pakistan.

Include in your prayers  government and zealous religous leaders who have strong beliefs about the best system for their people, hoping for a more perfect state system.
