Thailand Compensates Muslim Victims

Will they compensate the families of all the Buddhists who have been killed by jihadists in Thailand? From IslamOnline, with thanks to PRCS:

BANGKOK — In a practical step in the course of addressing their grievances, the military-backed Thai government agreed Tuesday, November 7, to compensate the families of Muslims killed in army custody, while the world's pan-Muslim body offered help to solve the conflict in the Muslim-majority south.

"My clients are happy about today's outcome, which followed months of stalled negotiations with the previous government," lawyer Peerawat Praweenamai told Reuters.

In October 2004, police and soldiers shot dead seven Muslim protesters as they dispersed a rally in front of the police station in the Narathiwat town of Tak Bai, near the Malaysian border.

Another 78 were crushed or suffocated to death after they were stacked "like bricks", in the words of one survivor, in the back of trucks and transported to an army camp.

Families of the 78 victims have sued for compensation but the case saw little progress in a year-long court battle.

They would receive 42 million baht ($1.2 million) of the 107 million they had sued for, said Peerawat.

"They feel the government of Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont is really trying to reconcile with the people after he made a public apology, which I think will convince people to be more cooperative with the state."

I guess this pay-off to aggrieved Muslim families couldn't have anything to do with the recent military coup led by a Muslim general that ousted the former democratically-elected Bhuddist Thai prez...

The king of Thailand had better have his bags packed. I would not want to be in his shoes for all the money in the world with those devils steadily advancing.

A Moslem strogman rules Thailand.

The first Moslem ever is elected to the House from Mpls (where else?).

The nuke-tipped British Navy is ruled by a Moslem.

An openly Jihad terrorist government rules Palestine using Western welfare stipends.

A nascent version of the same is emerging in the Gaza, again dependent on welfare stipends from the same (see a pattern here?).

Despite being banned by the ruling gov't of Egypt (to save their stipend), the Moslem Brotherhood, the resuscitators of Jihad terror war, did very well in the parliamentary elections there.

A new nation is born under the control of al Qaeda and the ISI's proxy the Taliban: introduce yourself to the Islamic Emirate of Northern Waziristan, and watch it emerge as yet another Jihad terror war nation.

It is clear that Pakistan is under the operational control of Jihad war terrorists. This is a nation armed with world class military platforms by America in its vestigial pursuit of a long dead Cold War, that got the Nukes from a a flaccid Western nuclear controls.

The Phillipine gov't was recently slapped in the face by Jihad war terrorists when they offered to expand "Sharia zones" there to take the Jihadists up to 18% of all Phillipino territory. The Moslem activists want more, a lot more.

England has a Moslem knight, a Moslem activist no less.

Sharia zones have emerged in France and Sweden, and will soon emerge in other EUrabian nations.

Spain has surrendered to encroaching Moslems, again.

Add all that frosting and cake decorations atop the Islamic Republic of Iran, openly a Jihad terror war nation. And don't forget Saud, a furtive Jihad terror war nation. These two are the enablers, the funders.

Then, remember Prez Bush holding hands with the Saudi King in the garden.

Now, envision the next decade, with Hillary and Nancy in control. Those girls better buy plenty of knee pads, cuz they have some serious work ahead of them.

In a related development, the umbrella Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) reiterated Tuesday willingness to cooperate with the new government to resolve the unrest in the Muslim-majority south.

OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu welcomed the new tendencies of the government in dealing with the situation.

"The secretary-general welcomed also the Prime Minister's confirmation of his government's willingness to solve the problem on the basis of negotiations, and the reconstitution of the Administrative Council of the Southern Provinces," the 57-member pan-Muslim body said in a statement.

It reaffirmed readiness to help in peace negotiations between the government and the representatives of Muslims in southern Thailand.

PM backs Shariah law for southern Thailand

Published: Wednesday, 8 November, 2006, 08:59 AM Doha Time

BANGKOK: Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont, in another significant gesture to Muslim insurgents in the far south, said yesterday Islamic law should be given a bigger role there.
He also said the only condition his post-coup government would impose for talks with insurgents in the region was that there should be no discussion of separation.
Surayud told the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand that shariah, or Islamic law, should be allowed in the area, where 80% of the people are ethnic Malay and Muslim.
“They should have the Islamic law in practice, sharia, because the way they are dealing with the normal practice in their society, in their life, is completely different from us,” said the former army chief of predominantly Buddhist Thailand.

"In a related development, the umbrella Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) reiterated Tuesday willingness to cooperate with the new government to resolve the unrest in the Muslim-majority south."

Yeah, I can just see the OIC now. They tell the king if he wants to resolve unrest all he has to do is turm Muslim. Failing that, he will lose his head. That's called mediation, Islamic style.

The compensation to the Muslim "victims," as well as the apology, both tools of appeasement that will embolden the Islamists, are completely out of line.

In this post on Global Vent, "Appeased" Muslims show Gratitude with ... Bombs" I offer what I believe is a thorough analysis of the situation in the southern Thailand provinces, as well as an analysis of the Tak Bai incident for which the Thai government is apologizing.

My follow on post, Thailand Compenates Muslim "Victims" further counts the ways in which Thailand is driving itself down an inexorable path toward Islamic statehood.

The news isn't getting better ... after this incident we can expect even more Islamic violence now that the Thai government has officially instituted a policy of appeasement.

Yes, they are shameless plugs for my blog, Global Vent, but ... the information is solid, if any Jihad Watch readers are interested.
