Pakistan Radical Released from Prison, a Sign of the Beginning of the End of the Pakistani Government?

A Pakistani Islamic radical who led the Red Mosque in Islamabad was released from prison on bail. He was one of the key leaders in the Red Mosque, who tried to establish Taliban style Islamic Law in Islamabad, which ended in a bloodbath against the Pakistani Government two years ago. This continues the trend of the Pakistani Government to give in to Islamic Radicals. The government has been showing cracks for some time, that it might be just months before the Pakistani State which we know it collapses under Taliban pressure. Expect the Red Mosque to regain its Talibanic form and impose Sharia Law throughout the capital of Islamabad as early as October of this year. Stay tuned---NYT
