ISLAMABAD ? Taliban militants have extended their grip in northwestern Pakistan, pushing out from a valley where the government has agreed to impose Islamic law and patrolling villages as close as 60 miles from the capital. Police and officials appear to have fled as armed militants also broadcast radio sermons and spread fear in Buner district, just 60 miles from Islamabad, officials and witnesses said Wednesday.

Pakistan's president signed off on the peace pact last week in hopes of calming Swat, where some two years of clashes between the Taliban and security forces have killed hundreds and displaced up to a third of the one-time tourist haven's 1.5 million residents.

Critics, including in Washington, have warned that the valley could become an officially sanctioned base for allies of al-Qaida ? and that it may be just the first domino in nuclear-armed Pakistan to fall to the Taliban. :shocked:

While I think a healthy skepticism is wise consider this:

Out of the country of Greater Arabia Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed,
He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
He will be the terror of mankind.
Never more horror.

I've seen people link the same quatrain with Saddam Hussein, and we know how that turned out...

I'm not saying the situation isn't scary, but it's easy to read too much into Nostradamus's ambiguous predictions.

Pro

ProTip: Nostradamus was high all the time and never actually predicted anything.

A medieval Christian was afraid of a Muslim invasion of Europe??!!!1!!!!!??? He must have been able to see the future, there's no way he could have thought of that on his own. Wow. You've just converted me.

I see you have a healthy skepticism. Good for you. :thumbsup:

But you cant deny the events in Pakistan do not bode well. I hope we can nip that in the bud, but I doubt Obama will have much interest in invading Pakistan if necessary.

Nostradamus wrote all of these vague predictions. You can find a way to make all of his predictions true.
