Radical Islamism & Jihad *Can Sufi Islam counter the Taleban? <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1218>*

But whether Sufism can be used to actively resist the spread of extremist Islam, or even whether it should be, is another question. -- *Barbara Plett* *[image: Sufi devotees in Lahore]* Qawwali-listeners at the Shah Jamal shrine *Some believe that Pakistan's mystic, non-violent Islam can be used as a defence against extremism* (Photo: Kamil Dayan Khan) More.<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1218> -- Islam,Terrorism and Jihad *Pakistan: Why death is not a tragedy anymore? <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1216>* As Swatis join the miserable lot, the world watches the peace deal with trepidation.

Whose war is this and at what price of human suffering? -- *Adil Zareef, *Islamabad. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** *Pakistani women rally against the Taliban in Karachi* More.<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1216> Syed M.
