Corrupt Politics in Pakistan- A Look into Small Extremist Groups

In today's paper there was an article on a small extremist group that calls themselves Islami Jamiat Talaba who bludgeoned a professor to near death because he expelled some of the members for violent behavior-ironic?Yes. Sad? Incredibly.
Despite a three week protest by fellow professors the group remains on campus who's antics include beating other male students for sitting next to female students, stop music from being played and any western products from being sold or used. In addition they are extremely vocal on their support for the Taliban, their desire to "keep women in their place" and their disgust for the Western world.
So why do they remain in Pakistan's strongest university filled with scholars? Because they have political connections. Politicians find it very helpful to have such groups in their back pockets in order to get their way and be permanently protected.
This story is nothing new, and we even see lesser forms of such here in the US with administrations such as the Bush administration having power for so long.
Honestly though, someone has to be willing to step up and take a fall to their career or whatever it may be for the greater good, sacrifice unfortunately must be made at this point and by innocent, hard working individuals.
