Pakistan's ruined paradise - 01 Dec 07

For many Pakistanis it's known as "Paradise on Earth." Famed for its lush green meadows, pristine lakes and soaring peaks, the Swat Valley drew in thousands of tourists.

But in recent weeks, Swat's become synonymous with suicide bombings and political unrest.

Swat was a place, famous for its peace, natural beauty, environment friendly and culture oriented people.

These Mullahs and some vested intersts of international agencies destroyed our lush green area.

Swat was a peaceful place before she was forced to accept Pakistan administration in 1969..since then the standard of life in Swat has been degrading.Once" Paradise on Earth' is reduce to Hell. Swat must regain it's independence from Pakistan. Swat are Afghan not Punjabi..

I had heard that the prince of SWAT was killed by a suicide bomber recently. Today I found this video of the prince of SWAT suggesting that talking will solve problems. I guess the "taliban" thought it would be better to kill a muslim rather than talk. Now, no one can talk with the prince of SWAT again. It just makes me so sad. When my Christian neighbors ask me about these murders how can I defend it? I can only say, it is not Islamic.

committing zulmoona on them. Swatis must take guns and clear their land from these scums. I agree that we should also get rid of prostitution and other social ills but not through the Mullahs but ourselves.
