Watch for the "moderates" such as Hamas-linked CAIR to issued a detailed refutation of the idea that a murderous jihad attack on a church is in accordance with Sharia. Just don't hold your breath.

"Peshawar Church Attack was According to Sharia: TTP," by Sonia Rana for the Pakistan Tribune, October 5 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Peshawar: Proscribed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has once again denied having involvement in the attack on a Peshawar church last month but said it was according to Sharia.

“We didn’t carry out the church attack. However, we believe it’s according to the Sharia,” TTP spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid told BBC in a telephonic interview from an anonymous location on Friday.

He said that there are numerous component groups of TTP but the motives of all of them are same. He, however, refused to tell the exact number of component groups of the organization.

When asked who issues the orders for any attack, spokesperson said free hand has been given to all component groups to choose and attack the enemy targets but they can’t carry out an attack by deviating from the objective of the movement, adding if they do so, the are summoned and punished by Taliban courts.

83 people including five women and four children were killed and nearly 150 injured in twin suicide blasts on a historic church in Qissa Khawani bazaar in Peshawar on September 22.
