There are vast numbers of important Buddhist sites in Swat and other areas of northwest Pakistan," she writes. "At this point, all of them are under threat of destruction, thanks to the influential voice of the Islamist leader Mullah Fazlullah."
Mullah Maulana Fazlullah is currently the strong man in the Swat region, notwithstanding his youth: He is only 28 years old. He thinks of himself as part of the Taliban movement and accepts only one authority: Mullah Omar. He has even proclaimed an "Islamic emirate" in his area of influence, and he commands a militia estimated to comprise some 4,500 men.

He might be wrong. But you and your article are even more wrong than him Mr "Neutrality". Maulana Fazlullah is just a bandit, a crook, he's been forced out of his area. Most people are against his ideology. and he only had control over parts of Swat area (very tiny compared to NWFP, and miniscule compared to Pakistan).
