Do You Think Pakistan Is Being Governed by Taliban?

I hate to say this but I believe I have read enough about the Taliban's brutal repressions on their women and their followers to condemn them. Being a Islamic militant fundamentalist who has been responsible for their notorious interpretation of Islam and enforcement of the Sharia Law, I have to wonder for Pakistan's reasons to support them despite their notoriety and links with the Al Qaeda.
What is Pakistan thinking or not thinking here? How could Pakistan do such a thing?
I am speaking about the recent gunning down of Malala Yousufzai, a 14 year old girl student in Islamabad, Pakistan by the Taliban. The girl is simply a child and 14 years of age and the Taliban sought her out, fatally shot her for her trivial activist blogs and boldly claim responsibility.
What a bunch of cowards and losers! Pakistan is really looking for trouble if they continue to support and harbor such a bunch of notorious group of people. I believe this is another reason for good Muslims to stand up and do something about these radicals.

Thanks a ton for sharing the discussion. Well yes u are absolutely right. Pakistan is really going through a terrible phase thanks to the Taliban rule that is prevalent in most parts of its country. It is not only bringing shame to the country
but is also ruining people's life. There have been many news recently where the Taliban have enforced so strict rules that even woman find it difficult to move on the streets. i think something should be done very soon to get rid of this brutality and thereby give people a new lease of life.
What say?

Well, thank you for responding too.
I agree with what you have posted here and believe that there's really nothing stopping Pakistan from associating with such extreme group. But. time and again Pakistan has been denying such support and association even till today. The world has already seen how it has been making their place a safe haven for these terrorist organizations.
This shooting of a young girl student is unacceptable and an outright abuse to the laws of Pakistan. Time and again, we have seen how Muslims have FAILED in general, sympathizing with these radicals behind peoples' backs and at the same time, openly denying and condemning (literally) when atrocities like these happen. Yet, nothing seems to go beyond these verbal voice and these radicals will live another day to carry out another act of terrorism.
I suppose this is an open act of playing with the devil here. Just hope these people will eventually wake up before they meet their fateful consequences.

I can understand that the Taliban could have migrated in Pakistan over the years, however as all citizens of a country including Pakistan - they will need to abide by the by-laws of the country.
In Pakistan's case, I feel (opinionated) that the Taliban did not abide by their country's law but instead made up their own Sharia laws. The group has been outright with their crime to the extent of intimate associations with and support to known outlawed terrorist organizations.
Despite all these, Pakistan did not only not arrest the problem and the criminals concern but letting them free to this day. So, I do not blame you for drawing the same confusing conclusions that I have as well. Worse of this conclusion is that it leaves an impression that Pakistan as a whole is in cahoots with the Taliban.
