"Taliban Influence"A painting outside a cinema is defaced to appease
Islamic extremist sensibilities in Mingora November 18, 2007 in the Swat
Valley of Pakistan. According to conservative Islamic clerics, depictions of
living creatures, specifically showing faces, is prohibited by the holy
Koran. Islamic militants had taken over much of the scenic valley before the
Pakistani army launched an offensive late in 2007 to drive them out.
