Thailand: Muslim official arrested after running checkpoint in pickup

Maybe he was just on the way to fertilize his garden. Yeah, that's it. Thai jihad update, from Bangkok's The Nation, with thanks to Twostellas:

Police arrested a local Muslim official in Narathiwat on Sunday night following a high-speed chase after the man ran a checkpoint. In the pickup, the officers discovered a large amount of fertiliser that could be used to make bombs.

Meanwhile, three men were fatally shot in a grocery store in Yala’s Yaha district by armed intruders. One man died at the scene and the two others at hospital. In a separate incident, two men on a motorcycle shot and injured a Muslim man in a drive-by shooting in Yala’s Raman district.

The driver of the pickup in Narathiwat, Somchai Arwae, maintained his innocence. He was held for further questioning.

Police said the Muslim man was found to be carrying 11 bags of fertiliser concentrate weighing a total of 220 kilograms. Suspicions arose over the intended use of the chemicals after the man ran a police checkpoint in Muang district. During a subsequent search of Somchai’s house, police located another 33 bags of similar highly concentrated fertiliser. Each bag weighed 20kg, investigators said.

Many of you have claimed that Islam is not a religion at all, and I have come to the conclusion that you are right. However, most of you have labeled it as a cult, whereas I have come to the conclusion that it behaves more like a chronic disease, slowly eating away at the portions of the brain responsible for morality and impulse control. Not everyone infected becomes sick. Some are just carriers. The disease can be contagious, and is, in the worse cases fatal, causing the host to "spontaneously combust."

Strange that I would use the term chutzpah to describe these people but it seems appropriate when someone is caught with almost 2,000 lb. of bomb making ingredient. Must be one hell of a garden.

"Maybe he was just on the way to fertilize his garden. Yeah, that's it. "

And in a hurry too

LOLS!

It IS a religion. There are MANY religions. Religion includes worship - even false worship. It is dovotion to a cause.

Jam 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. {No false worship, murdering, lying, stealing, cheating, coveting...while speaking the Truth - knowing before hand - that the world will hate you for it, because you are testifying of its deeds]

True - ALL of it!

And that is why it is important to take a good look at what the Koran really does teach.

The New Testament thoroughly condemns ALL violence between ALL humans.

The Koran incites vicious violence between humans.

The 'tree' is known by its 'fruit'

Good primer on the sociology of religion.

It looks as though they left this one out:

Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

1Sa 8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre [money], and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

There are many gods.

There is ONLY ONE God of Peace - and He demands that we be peaceful also - fearing His Auhtority - and His Authority ALONE - over the Judgment.

The god of the Koran does not teach that. The 'allah' of the Koran teaches his followers to carry out judgment - BEFORE the Judgment Time that was Appointed.

Kuffir Islam is neither a religion nor a cult,it is an ideology of Arab Imperialism, in guise of a religion. In fact that's precisely why the Caliphs starting with Abu Bakr created it, they were in competition with the Jews and Christians to find a "godly" justification for their conquest,and to justify the supremacy of the Arab over the non Arab.

The "because I said so" doesn't hack it, so they pulled out the Arab Chief God (al ilah) formerly known as Hubal (the moon god - the crescent moon, venus or al Uzza, is the star in the Islamic flag), dressed him up in imitation of the Jewish god, and propped him up like a ventriloquist dummy.

For ninety years the Umayyads ruled from Syria, using the existing Byzantine Bureaucracy. Islam they regarded as a racist Arab movement. Therefore they tried to convert all Arabs-Christians, Jewish and pagan-to Islam, but they made it hard for non Arabs to convert. They wanted a Muslim Arab aristocracy to rule a non-Muslim, non Arab tax paying population
