The savage leader of the Pakistani Taliban Mullah Fazlullah is dead. He’s pushing up daisies (what’s left of him) he’s bereft of life, he’s gone to join the choir of goatshaggers invisible and he’s gone to meet his maker courtesy of a drone strike by the Americans. He’s as dead as the famous ‘Norwegian Blue’ bird from the Monty Python ‘Parrot Sketch’. He is now, thankfully, an ‘ex-savage’. This dangerous and ruthless Islamic terrorist, a savage who had brought misery to Pakistan was wiped out along with four of his associates by the drone strike in Afghanistan.

The Pakistan Tribune said of Mullah Fazlulla:

Ruthless. Ruthless is what Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Mullah Fazlullah, killed in a drone strike in northeastern Afghanistan on Wednesday, enjoyed the reputation of being.

The slain TTP supremo, killed alongside four associates in a strike executed by a remotely-piloted American aerial vehicle in Afghanistan’s Kunar province, was forever willing to leave no stone unturned in his quest for enshrining an uncompromising interpretation of Islamic law. Fazlullah, infamous as “Mullah Radio”, presided over a two-year Taliban rule in Swat that saw offenders being decapitated and schools being razed.

Mullah Fazlullah presided over a violent and vile terror group that he inherited from his father. Mullah Fazlullah and his group presided over the transformation of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, an area once described by HM Queen Elizabeth II as ‘the Switzerland of the East’ because of its natural beauty, into a charnel house. It was his group that in 2009 attacked Malala Yousafzai who was at the time a young girl chronicling life under the Taliban.

I cannot help but think that there may be many Pakistanis living in areas where this group has held sway, who will sleep easier now that this savage has been removed from this earth. The death of Fazlullah may being relief and life to all those who have lived in the shadow of death in the form of Mullah Fazlullah.

Good bye Mullah Fazlullah and to be quite frank, good riddance. The world is a much better place now this savage is no more.
