Another monk murdered in Thailand. Thai jihad update from Bangkok's The Nation, with thanks to Lek:
An elderly Buddhist monk and four soldiers escorting the monk were seriously injured when a remote-controlled bomb exploded as they were leaving a temple in Bacho district of Narathiwat province, early Wednesday, police said.The bomb which was planted 100 metres from the temple was detonated by mobile phone at 6:00 am this morning, as the 78-year-old Pra Thammajaro Buddhist monk, and soldiers were leaving the temple.
Morning all!
One wonders why a Bhuddist monk needs protection? Was he a supporter of US policies?
No. His temple stands on islamic land. In some people's minds.
I wish I could hold this to associate with a more pertinent article, but:

Gary,
His temple didn't stand on Islamic land.
It stood on THAI land. Southern Thailand, where this is happening, has a sizeable muslim population. The Thai's only fault is having a sizeable muslim population.
The muslims are a separatist group. They want Southern Thailand to be Islamic. They have been killing people - monks, schoolteachers, market vendors, police, soldiers - creating mayhem, destabilizing society, to make that happen.
This seems to be routine now, everywhere muslims have landed on the planet, when their population is big enough in the society, they agitate to impose their Islam on the society.
Here, they murder, maim, destroy, shoot monks and school teachers. Monks! Teachers! Then whine that they are victims, fighting to overthrow their oppressors.
Sigh.
This is a good time to say 'Bloody Bastards!!!' but I told John I won't call them names, respect them as human beings, so I won't.
But I'll resist them like hell.
Gary,
The muslims have been killing monks. My guess is, he had been threatened, or was informed he was a target, hence his police escort.
skidd:
Gary was being ironic.
"One wonders why a Bhuddist monk needs protection? Was he a supporter of US policies?
No. His temple stands on islamic land. In some people's minds."
I was being sarcastic, guys. Isn't the whole world islamic land?
Thanks guys. I see it.
The thing that makes one choke is they'd say what Gary said, with a straight face: Isn't the whole world islamic land?
skidd:
but that's what the "faithful" believe -- that the whole planet should be one big happy umma.
An acquaintance of mine who was asked to attend a primary school class in Hamilton, Ont. Canada, to talk about some major Jewish holiday tells the story of a Muslim child of no more than seven (his clothing made it obvious), apparently of Syrian background, ignoring the teacher's instructions about political statements and asking her why Israel won't leave and wouldn't the world be a much better place if everyone was Muslim. Wonder where the kid got a notion like that.
Waterdragon~ That's practically in my backyard. Closer than that, I shall not say. But it does make me want to do some more research on things in this region...
They cannot be assimilated. Wherever they go they reproduce like locusts and attempt to create a sharia state. The answer is to return them to where they came from. Freedom of religion does not include freedom to be terrorists.
"The answer is to return them to where they came from. "
5thColumn,
I've always wondered how this can be done. Any ideas?
Gary:
They are everywhere -- Wahhabi imams -- and they have children, and lots of them, who will naturally parrot whatever they hear at home.
They breed and breed. Ever wonder about the fertility rate, the 4 wives deal? One man can have 4 offsprings developing at the same time. It's a doctrine for demographic conquest.
All they need is to be let into the country. Then they breed the natives out of it.
