		<description><![CDATA[The Taliban have apparently been fighting for the institutionalization of the Muslim Sharia law, imposing extremist views on the population.

		<description><![CDATA[Pakistan does not only have the image of being ground zero of today’s insurgent militant terror, the country also comes across as being on the brink of defeat to Islamist jihadists.
