A majority religious alliance in north western Pakistan supports remnants of the Taliban and unanimously voted to establish Islamic law.

CHICAGO (NFTF.org) -- On Monday, the provincial assembly in the North West Frontier province of Pakistan voted unanimously to establish Islamic law in the region, heightening worries that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan is actually increasing hatred and anger toward U.S. policies abroad.

The majority religious alliance in the province is against the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, and outspokenly supports remnants of the Taliban.

In addition to Pakistani society, Afghan society is also reacting more violently toward the U.S. presence in their country. Afghanistan has recently seen an increase in attacks aimed at U.S. troops.
