They are still trying to impose their brand of Islam on the nation:

Tehreek-e-Islami Taliban Pakistan (TITP) has distributed a fifteen-days notice to several “un-Islamic” businesses in Kot Addu to shut down or face dire consequences.
The TTIP wrote threatening letters to owners of CDs shops, Internet cafes and cable service providers urging them to close down their activities.
Similarly, the group warned that women must wear hijab to ensure their safety.
[…]
Acid: The second paragraph said that within five days of the receipt of the letter, every woman not wearing Hijab would be disfigured with acid.
Very soon we would cleanse earth from the traitors of Allah, the third paragraph said.

While we’re praying for the Iranian Christians, we should pray for the women in Afghanistan as well, they are a particular target of the Taliban. Pray that the Lord will protect them and that any attempts to disfigure the women will lead to the arrest of Taliban members.
