Maybe the mad mullah figured his vigilante strategy was becoming unviable, and it was time to try getting elected to office, copying a Pakistani transvestite who got elected as a city councilor.

More seriously, it's long overdue for the Pakistani government to forcibly take down those maniacs, though I suppose better late than never. They've been defying government authority for months now - issuing fatwas against Pakistani soldiers attacking pro-Taliban militants, using vigilante violence or threats of violence against those they accuse of promoting prostitution or pornography, and attacking police who try to rein them in.

This guy Abdul Aziz has taken the Hypocritical Coward trophy from Spider-hole Surrender-monkey Saddam (a.k.a. Hands-up Hussein), previously known as the brave leader in the "mother of all battles".

Hey, it looks like hypocritical cowardice and boastful bluffs run in the family. In today's news:

Aziz's younger brother, Abdul Rashid Ghazi, is in charge at the mosque now. He said in the past that his followers will fight to the death defending the mosque. But after the assault on Thursday, Ghazi indicated in televised interviews that he was willing to stand down if he and his students were given safe passage out of the mosque.
