As I said before , once the Taliban get their way in Swat , they will spread out even farther !  They will not be able to control themselves , when they can see someone not following Sharia law, right across the street !   It is One of the main goals of Islam , they will not stop until they have subjugated , Dominated , Destroyed , And Killed everything and everyone that they deem Un Islamic !

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban are imposing their rule in a Pakistani mountain valley they took over last week, spreading fear in the area only 100 km (60 miles) from the capital, police and residents said on Monday.

Surging militant violence across Pakistan and the spread of Taliban influence through the northwest are reviving concerns about the stability of the nuclear-armed U.S. ally.

Pakistan is crucial to U.S. efforts to stabilize neighboring Afghanistan but the government has been unable to check militant attacks in its cities let alone stop insurgents crossing into Afghanistan from border strongholds to battle Western forces.

Clashes erupted in Buner district last week after scores of Taliban moved in unopposed from the neighboring Swat valley, where authorities struck a deal with Islamists in February to enforce Islamic law in a bid to end violence.

"They are everywhere," Arsala Khan, a deputy superintendent of police, told Reuters by telephone from Buner.

"They are visiting mosques, they are visiting bazaars asking people to help them in enforcing sharia," he said.

"Buner is fast turning into Swat."
