Villagers fight Taliban after Pakistan mosque blast

Hillarious ! The people of Pakistan turning on the Taliban ! Well it is what they get , You just can't go around forcing people to do what you wish , they usually will push back ! now the only people that the Taliban have on their side is ,Themselves !

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Villagers in northwest Pakistan have attacked Taliban
militants killing seven of them in revenge for a bomb attack on a
mosque that killed at least 40 people, a top government official and
residents said on Sunday.

It was the latest in a series of instances of people turning their guns on the Taliban
in recent weeks and trying to force them out of their areas and will
encourage the Pakistani government which needs public support to defeat
the militants.

One resident of Upper Dir said the militia had demolished houses where Taliban were known to stay.

"We
are Muslims, we pray regularly and read the Koran. We don't want them,
they have to go," resident Samiullah Khan said by telephone. "Attacking
a mosque is not Islam. They're not Muslim."

Ethnic Pashtun tribal elder Mohtabar Khan said letting the Taliban stay was asking for trouble.
