The PA is deeply worried. It can no longer take for granted the loyalty of its soldiers to the commanding officers. This uncertainty extends, even among officers, all the way up the chain of command to Gen. Kiyani. The PA therefore does not wish to involve itself in these matters at this point.

Only normal countries worry about worsening Law & Order. Pakistan believes that the worst conditions will bring out the best of Islam.
Well it seems to me that what I hoped and wished for in Pakistan might be coming true. Islam is truly set to discover itself in Pakistan. Anyone who can be declared anti-Islam or impure in any way is summarily executed by the Muslims of Pakistan.
What remains behind in Pakistan should be "pure Islam", practised by devout Muslims, shouldn't it?
In reality even a few kafirs will survive in Pakistan by doing the lungi dance of being totally supportive of the Islamists's actions, and being the perfect model dhimmis. And the presence of such kafirs will be used by the "pure Muslims" of Pakistan as "proof" that Pakistan and Islam are moderate and tolerant.
But I think it is important to utilize Pakistan's predicament and say that Pakistanis are striving for pure Islam and they are getting there and what Pakistan represents today is a purer variety of Islam than even before. We should have no ill will towards Pakistan, lest we be called Islamophobes. We Hindu fundamentalists and our munafiqoon compatriots have a bad enough reputation as it stands. A nation set up in the name of Islam for Muslims cannot be wrong in searching for purity in Islam.
