Two women killed in a bombing at a tea shop (no doubt a tea shop identified as a hotbed of anti-Islamic activity). Two police officers killed elsewhere. Attacks designed to sow terror in the larger population. "Seven Killed by Thai Gunmen," from World News Australia, with thanks to JE:
Seven people have been shot dead in separate attacks by suspected Islamic militants in Thailand's restive south.Six people, including two police officers, were killed in three separate attacks in Yala province, one of three predominantly Muslim provinces in the south.
Another was shot dead in Pattani province.
In Narathiwat province, two Thai women and a Malaysian man were slightly injured when a bomb exploded at a tea shop.
Murder and mayhem is what Islam is all about. thet wish to dominate the world not live in it peacefully with others.
One day the world will tire of this vile thing and we will put it down but good.
There are 10,000 reasons why Thai Buddhists are being murdered by the local Muslims:
1) The American forces have not punished those Rafidite dogs, the Shi'a, for treating Sunni prisoners badly.
2) The American forces in Iraq serve pork products to the troops.
3) That Danish newspaper. Those cartoons.
4) The Israeli refusal to give advice to the "Palestinians" about how to make proper use of the greenhouses (now destroyed).
5) The Israelis not preventing the "Palestinians" from destroying those greenhouses -- knowing full well that that was likely to happen.
6) The refusal of the Dutch Parliament to remove Ayaan Hirsi Ali from its ranks.
7) The refusal of the Dutch Partiament to allow local Muslims to punish Ayaan Hirsi Ali for apostasy, which is in effect preventing one religion, Islam, from dealing as it has every right to with those it considers its own members, and therefore Muslim courts have jurisiction over them.
8) The refusal of the Canadians in Ottawa to allow Muslims to be governed by Shari'a courts.
9) The cruel and completely baseless prosecution of the entirely innocent Sami al-Arian in Florida.
10) The cruel and completely baseless deportation of the entirely innocent leader of the largest Ohio mosque, Fawaz Damra.
11) The cruel and completely baseless attacks on the arrangements, the funding, the people behind or supporting the building of the Boston Mosque.
12) The cruel and completely baseless attacks on Islam by apostates from Islam such as Ali Sina and others at www.faithfreedom.org, none of whom have any right to remain free from just punishment as apostates.
13) The nasty word -- "racaille" uttered by Nicolas Sarkozy, Minister of the Interior, in France.
14) The complaint by the Spanish nuns in Granada that the muezzin's electronically-enhanced wail five times a day, from the gigantic mosque that was built on the height overlooking the nunnery, has been made so deliberately loud as to destroy their ability to function.
15) The refusal of the Italian state to remove all crosses from all public places everywhere in Italy, as was justly demanded by the head of the Islamic community, Adel Smith.
16) The refusal of the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera to fire Magdi Allam, an Italo-Egyptian, for his negative remarks about the Muslim Brotherhood.
17) The refusal of the University of Geneva to renew the temporary contract of Tariq Ramadan.
18) The refusal of the head of the Christian Party in Norway to cease to express sentiments sympathetic to the state, and people, of Israel.
19) The insistence of the government of Great Britain of observing a Holocaust Day ceremony, and not including Muslims as victims of that crime at least as great, Islamophobia.
20) The insistence of the German state of Baden-Wurtemmberg on adding certain questions for Muslims wishing to obtain citizenship.
Numbers 21 through 10,000 -- you make the list yourself. There's plenty of material.
More origami needs to be delivered to the Jihadists, then they will surely love the Thais!
Has this Kingdom no knowledge of history? Islamists view them as filthy infidels, case closed.
By the way, under a strict interpretation of the Quran, is origami (of animals) even allowed as a "toy" animal. After all, such might bring joy and thus is probably strictly verbotten. Does anyone have a link explaining the Islamic stance on toys? I read (with disgust) Granny's article about BMI. It contained a Suadi prohibition on stuffed teddies (and heaven forbid- stewardess dildos) and would be curious how Suadi Islamofacists came to the conclusion that they ought to ban stuffed animals. I wonder if "banned toys" to southern Thai jihadists might include origami swans from the King.
Kafir Nonbeliever - one of the pieces of evidence that Aisha was only aged 9 when Mohammed took her to bed is that he remarked on her toys afterwards. Her own account says that she was aged 9 but some Muslims when challenged will insist that she was older. Then you bring up the matter of her dolls (and a horse with rag wings, can't you visualise it, heartbreaking!) which a child is permitted so as to instruct her by role play for care of a home, to demonstrate how young she really was.
So the religion of peace is on the brink of hitting another 'milestone' - the 4,000th fatal terrorist atrocity since the up-to-now daddy of them - the 911 atrocity. They've already chalked up 3,994 fatal terror atrocities in the 52 months since that dreadful day, and the likelihood is that they'll breach the 4,000 mark some time tomorrow.
How many other faiths have run up anywhere near so many in the last four years, or have cost the global community so much in a vain attempt to prevent more?
On Islam's slate is not only those office workers, commuters and innocent travellers killed on 911 itself, but we've also had commuters murdered in London and Madrid, tourists in Bali - twice, and schoolchildren in Beslan. We've had murders at hotels in Amman and Jakarta, Westerner compounds in Saudi Arabia, and others in Istanbul and Delhi.
Those were the headline makers, but there are many more which haven't grabbed the headlines. The slaughter of Christians in churches in Pakistan, the beheadings of Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia and hostages in Iraq, the murders of Buddhist monks and other innocent civilians in Thailand and terrorist outrages in the Philippines, not to mention atrocities carried out by Zarqawi's thugs in Iraq. And lets not forget Israel - that perennial target of Muslim atrocities and outrage, because that country is the one vibrant oasis of civilization in a vast desert of Islamic intolerance, civilizational retrogression, and the descent into barbarianism in Islam is on full view as seen in the atrocities run up in the name of their devil God.
We have forgotten painful lessons learned by our ancestors, and chosen to ignore the warnings of countless statesmen, clergy, philosophers and soldiers. The wise words of Winston Churchill, John Quincy Adams and John Wesley ought to be ringing in our ears by now, as did the words of Bishop Fulton J Sheen from 1950 and Hilaire Belloc from 1938 - written in an era before political correctness, when people could use plain old common sense without fear of being labelled as bigots and rabble rousers. But then, our leaders live in an era where using common sense as regards Islam amounts to political suicide, thanks to the PC weenies of the MSM and the press.
Take the words of Sheen: "Today (1950), the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming hatred against Christianity itself. Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world Power." Was he wrong in his analysis? It certainly doesn't look so. If he thinks it was bad in 1950, heaven knows what he would make of things were he alive today, in the aftermath of 911, Bali, Beslan, Madrid, London and a whole host of other outrages. And what would he make of our leaders telling us "Islam is a religion of peace" against this dreadful backdrop. Unlike Bush who described Islam as a religion of peace whilst the dust from the WTC towers still permeated the New York atmosphere, Roosevelt described Pearl Harbor as a day in infamy and swore revenge in full. And lets look at Hilaire Belloc from 1938 when he wrote: "Will not perhaps the temporal power of Islam return and with it the menace of an armed Mohammedan world, which will shake off the domination of Europeans -- still nominally Christian -- and reappear as the prime enemy of our civilization? The future always comes as a surprise, but political wisdom consists in attempting at least some partial judgment of what that surprise may be. And for my part I cannot but believe that a main unexpected thing of the future is the return of Islam." And this at a time when we were on the verge of war against Nazi Germany.
Like Hitler, who made no secret of his ambitions - he set them out in Mein Kampf almost a decade before coming to power in Germany, the Islamic enemies of civilization don't hide their genocidal ambitions. Barely a day goes by without Ahmadinejad making threats to nuke Israel and create another Holocaust on a scale Hitler hardly dared dream about, or some Islamofreak threatening to detonate a nuke in some American city, or if a US city is too difficult, a Western European or Australian city will do in their eyes and diseased minds. And this will happen until the entire world submits to the will of Allah and becomes a global Sharia state run on the lines of Taliban Afghanistan, with all its attendant horrors - no music, no pubs or bars, no televisions, no computers, no electricity, misogyny and the humiliation for women of wearing burkas and stonings for adultery - in other words, back to the Dark Ages. Is this one way ticket to barbarianism our 'gift' to our children, their children and so on? Because our weakkneedness in the face of tyranny is sending us there. Victory in the battle for our civilization cannot be achieved without the severest examination and criticism of Islam itself. Describing it as the religion of peace hides its glaring deficiencies from Muslims themselves. They must be shamed into giving up their faith and its obligations to Jihad. They still think they're superior to us despite the infidel worlds' scientific and cultural achievements over the last 500 years. They describe Jews, with hundreds of Nobel Prizes between them as "sons of apes and swine", whilst the Islamic world is not noted for anything other than terrorism, suicide bombers, sadism and intolerance towards infidels. But when it comes to destroying civilizations, Islam is an old hand. In 1,400 years it has destroyed advanced civilizations - for their time - like the Chaldeans, Maronites and Byzantines, who like ourselves, thought they were invincible. Today, we're the latest in line, and one of their chief weapons is simple demographics and staggering birth rates, which threaten to give France a Muslim majority within a human lifespan. Thanks to us and our PC-weeny ways, heaven help the class of 2100.
Granny:
As I read it, toys appear to be “idolotry” and are a form of cultural expression that do not glorify allah (capitalization not required). Music and art are of course extremely limited. Is this the origin of restriction of toys?
How cute that Aisha had dolls. I suppose she was able to play with them as she awaited the late-night arrival of her stinky long bearded prophet husband's arrival into her tent. What a beautiful love story.
If she was older than 9, why did Iran reduce the age of marriage to 9? Surely the Iranians must be more "scholarly" about Sharia than you or I. There is something magical about age nine: it is generally only 2 to 3 years years more before menstruation begins!
Everyone knows that "Teddy Bears" are named after Theodore Roosevelt in honor of his refusal to shoot a baby bear dragged into his camp during a hunting trip and tied up for him to kill.
He didn't think t was very "sporting", and his humane act resonated with the public. And the teddy bear was born.
Muslims clearly cannot understand NOT killing something tied up and dragged in from of you. And thus they refuse to allow such a symbol of compassion into their barren land.
It might spread some seditous notions in the cruel kingdom.
(Plus, Roosevelt was a crusader for social justice, reining in monopolies and encouraging the press to take on political and business corruption, which is also verboten in the land of the Sacred Bag Ladies.)
How much a little toy can symbolize!
(And they may also be afraid that the bear's stuffing might have a cross or mini-Bible secreted within it, also. Those cunning Western devils at the Beanie Baby plant, you know!)
The truth is that the Thais didn't come up with the stupid origami idea. It was "suggested" by US military advisors at the embassy in Bangkok. Thaksin went along with it to keep the Americans happy.
Most Thai military officers as well as many high officials in the Foriegn and Interior ministries would prefer an all out assault but their hands are tied. They believe that the Muslim insurgency must be crushed exactly like the Communist insurgency was crushed in the 1960s but they fear "Human Rights" criticism from the US and Europe.

Illuminating stuff. An Iranian friend, on a recent visit home, took a suitcase full of soft toys - I hadn't appreciated the significance. Agencies collecting relief aid following natural disasters ask us to resist our instincts to send cuddly toys as they can be sourced locally. But perhaps the next time allah punishes his Victims we should pay more heed to the emotional well-being of their young; and let the Red Crescent et al supply food, medicines, tents and Islamist literature. These people NEED happy thoughts.

I'm also noticing how, perhaps due to the Cold War or post-Nazi ethnic sensibilites, we forgot the serious concerns of many during the WWII era regarding the Islamic threat. Someone posted here recently a suggestion that the current spate of "final battle" epics seems awfully prescient of the longer term conflict. Last week a BBC drama/biopic on CS Lewis' Narnia trilogy revealed (at least to me) that JRR Tolkien was a long-time friend of Lewis, who was compelled to write the stories for the London evacuees he temporarily fostered during the war. As a child I had all three books, and remember distinctly the picture on the paperback cover of The Last Battle (circa 1970s) - the (Christian) animals of Narnia in the heat of battle against blatantly depicted Turks - sabres, turbans and all. Who incidently, are referred to throughout as "Darkies". But then God was on our side and PC hadn't been invented... Hopefully the upcoming film will be followed by Christmas releases of both sequels. Maybe Hollywood is picking up where the old Pathe news reels left off - Good vs Evil is so much easier to digest than imperialist / Zionist / corporate globalisation conspiricy theories. I sense a slow but inevitable softening-up process by the free media. The (kid) gloves will come off soon enough.
And in anthropomorphic terms, we have the Eagle, the Bulldog and the Tasmanian Devil to their snakes & lizards.
