Suspected Muslim insurgents set fire to Thai rubber warehouse

A cornerstone of the regional economy. Watch for protests to any anti-jihad resistance the government may mount (if it mounts any at all): "No blood for rubber!"

From AP, with thanks to Twostellas:

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Suspected Muslim insurgents in southern Thailand set fire Wednesday to a large warehouse for rubber -- a cornerstone of the region's economy -- with firefighters unable to control the raging blaze for hours, police said....

The fire followed a bold, coordinated assault by separatist rebels which killed eight people and wounded nearly 70 in a 24-hour period beginning Sunday night. Three people were arrested shortly after the attacks, Lt. Gen. Viroj Buajaroon, regional commander for the south, said Tuesday.

Police said suspected rebels set fire to the largest rubber warehouse in Yala, owned by the Southern Land Rubber Co., shortly after midnight and it was still burning more than eight hours later.

Sarcasm on - When will we Americans wean ourelves from foreign rubber and get our own supply?

… bold, coordinated assault by separatist rebels

If they’re gonna separate from Thailand, what’re they gonna merge with, Malyasia? Or, do they plan to continue to press their separatist Jihad war activities northward so as to incrementally pull Thailand into Dar al-Islam?

Most likely both.

The Buddhists better get ready to pay some serious Jizyah and perform obsequious Dhimmitude upon Moslem command. This is what happens when one side is peaceful and the other on a permanent war footing.

Sarcasm...on and on...And what about the increased global warming effect from all that smoke? Oh you careless Jihadis! Where is the protest from the left and the rest of the islamosymps?

Geez-o-peetez, just my luck. I need new tires for my work van.

Islam, the nihilist Moloch cult of destruct and destroy what you cannot have, what you cannot rule. Destroy those whom you cannot subjugate. Make their lives fearful and miserable

Mohamed - "I have become victorious by terror(cast into the hearts of the enemy)"

Just because you don’t know how to build a shack, does not necessarily mean that you can’t tear down a Cathedral.

needlessly killing people is not much of a job skill....It appears to me, most jihadists do not have jobs....

Pig Farmer, don't you understand? The muslims are the victims here! They are just defending THEIR land from the Bhuddist oppresors. The Bhuddist warmongers are the new Nazis. They are trying to take over the world and lay their hands on the muslim's rich natural resources. Haven't you read the Protocols of the Monks of Budda?

Surely another case of discontent and desparation owing to an occupation by Zionists or other unbelievers.

There is payback for this outrageous economic blow. Level one hundred of the most virulent mosques in Thailand. It's absurd to punish just the Muslim arsonists

Forbes report:
World Condom Futures Market sags!

Good thing that muslim general who engineered the coup last year is in charge. he sure is relating to those "insurgents".

Our friend Dinesh would be quick to point out the decadence of the rubber trees that produced such shameful polymer.

I get it now - global warming is caused by too much of the wrong kind of smoke - so the radicals in Thailand set fire to a RUBBER WAREHOUSE in order to cause lots of smoke and cause the downfall of the evil western regime ..

OmegaMan, that's it. Condoms promote adultery and other forms of illicit sex. Uses of condoms for contraception are limited. Rubber trees are evil.

I have always searched in vain for some 'rationale' for this separatist movement. Some endless list of complaints about opression by the Buddhist majority or some such. There is only one rationale: Islam Must Rule.

I am serious in this analogy, for the question is what is the difference between anarchists setting fire to Thai rubber plants, Jihadists in Iraq destroying oil pipelines, Hillary, Teddy, Kerry, Rather all being part of a Molotov Mob like Jason Leopold, Alex Jones, Jeff Rense to Steve Quayle?

They all are anarchists bent on tearing down the existing governmental structure so they can not just impose their ideology, but gain needed attention and the all important money factor.

Just look at George Orwell's Animal Farm. It is not communists or islamists, but anarchists who destroy the nation and then like in Putin's Russia rush in and take billion dollar control over all resources and industry. Ortega did it in Nicaragua as did Castro.

I submit the Islamocommunist does not have a religion, but an anarchist view of chaos to gain power.

There is no difference between bin Laden and Hillary Clinton in results. He wills to impose his theology and gain control over all the wealth (he talks of oil often) and Hillary wills to impose her theology and gain permanent power by implementing healthcare for all. Americans already have to work till June to play taxes and live on the rest. With Hillarycare you will work until October and then have 2 months for your mortgage and living expenses. In effect that is communism, so until people start realizing enslavement is just as bad under Islam as Hillary with the same devastating results to the masses everyone is going to suffer.

Where are we going to run to? Russian slavery? European slavery? Indonesian slavery? African slavery? South American slavery? Chinese slavery?

Anarchists are the problem. They overthrew the American government here in the last election and it is not just Islam cheering.

I have to agree with dennisw. They are the masters now because we are reluctant to use disproportionate force. 100 to one seems about right. Let Islam add a 6th prayer - Allah, please don't let me piss off anyone today. Don't allow Muslim men out without a note from their mothers, require them to wear a blind hood so they won't sear their eyes with the sight of a woman. Nice don't work with them. Let the first 99 mosques blown down be empty, then pick one full one to show them which way we can go. No more mister Nice Guy.

Lame Cherry:

A bit over the top, but you are definitely tapping in to something that I absolutely agree with.

Taking the analogy of leftists/islamists one step further, you can also chew on the following question:

Instead of trying to change our system, why don't they just go somewhere else that already practices their worldview? Conservatives have no where else to go, now that Hong Kong is part of China. Leftist American's can move numerous places and things be the way they want.

People like Hillary/Kerry would much more at home in France, Sweden, Italy, than they are in the U.S. They spend all of their time trying to make us more like those countries? Why not just move? Similarly, all of these Shariah loving immigrants leave Pakistan and come here?

A couple of thoughts as to why they try to change the US rather than go someplace that already adopts their worldview:

(1) They know life is better here, but don't make the connection that life is better here because of our system. Thus, ironically, they try to transform the U.S. into place that future generations wouldn't want to immigrate to/stay in.

(2) They want the "glory" of reducing the U.S.---they want to bring the U.S. down a notch or two.

I used to think it was (1), at least with regards to U.S. politicians. I am now starting to suspect it is (2)--which fits with your anarchy analysis.

Muslims obviously think their mass murder and mass destruction will be treated criminally instead of communally. You don't just prosecute the one or two mass murderers or arsonists. You punish the Muslims communally. Because that's precisely what they are doing to the Thais. Striking at them communally when an important rubber warehouse is torched. Doing random beheadings and murders to drive Buddhists out of Muslim areas

So how to reach Muslims? You hit what they hold most dear. Their mosques and houses. Obliterate them. Start with the worst ones and the rest will get the message

Good point, Dennis...Islam is a tribal mentality. However, when people act tribal with them, they whine "you killed innocents"...but 9/11 was ok from their tribal perspective.

I think what we are really witness is the final class between tribalism and agrarian society. Tribalism being what I control I own and I can plunder anything that is not in my tribe and make it mine. Agrarian being property ownership...by economic transaction rather than raiding and plundering.

I don't like the word insurgents at all. There is a recognition that they are defending something that is already theirs. I think a word that is associated with overthrowing governments and plundering would be better. Maybe Muslim seditionists and thieves would be better.

Or better yet Muslim imperialists.

Or maybe just the Borg.

Re: Lame Cherry and JSobieski:

Top 10 things on which Marxists (Hillary, et al) and Moslems agree

1) Olympian council — Decisions are made centrally by a paternalistic ruling elite

2) Suppression of liberty — Individual freedoms are subsumed by the collective good

3) Suppression of free speech — The collective good cannot tolerate disruptive thinking

4) Globalism — The nation-state is obsolescent, the rules of law and commerce should be set globally

5) Multiculturalism — All races, cultures, and language groups should be woven into a single cloth

6) Socialism — Except for the ruling elite, wealth should be shared equally (single cloth)

7) Predeterminism — Outcomes should be predetermined and arranged (inshallah)

8) Centralism — The all-encompassing rules of Marxism and Islam each derive from a small number of immutable texts

9) Mysticism — Marxists take their mythology from the fraudulent numbers cooked up by Engels and Marx in Das Kapital; Moslems take theirs from the various frauds in the Koran and Sunnah

10) Certitude — Becoming a Marxist or Moslem necessarily entails the cessation of critical thought, and the slavish unthinking acceptance of received wisdom

DennisW-
"You punish the Muslims communally"

I agree! What an important idea. But it needn't be as barbaric as beheading but the local branch of the 'ummah' must be responsible for its terrorists - they are PART of the Islamic body-politic and live in it 'as a fish in water' to borrow from Mao. Isolation. Segregation, intense scrutiny, financial penalization. Guilt by association and so forth. They are answerable for what is done 'in their name' if they do not vigorously try to stop it.

An absolute must read article in Frontpage.

Warner: We cannot win by writing another book, putting up another website or blog. Those things are individual in nature. We must move to the political phase. This means boots on the ground, people meeting in the same room, people talking to people. Politics. Groups. Meetings. Real people. Not just computer screens, or books. We must have action against the near enemy in our town. This is the battleground we will live or die on as a civilization.
It is impossible for individuals to win this revolution. Our first step must be to build community. So how do we build community? Of course, there are many ways to go about this. Some people can build within a present group. An example would be forming groups within a church or synagogue. Conventions must be held to form strategies.

Coincidentally I posted something similar

The reasons for this catastrophe are clear enough. Islam’s mandate is to rule the world, it cannot accept being under Kuffar domination, and this has to be achieved with democratic pressure as well as violence and intimidation. The violent bit is necessary, as Islam and Muslims know that for conquest to be acceptable to the victor as well as the vanquished, defeat of the Kuffar by the sword is a necessary requirement. Hence the threat from Sacranie of two million Jihadis in the UK ready to go on the Jihad.

As it is well known that no group of people are going to hand over power to an alien group without a fight, civil war in the UK is now a distinct possibility. I have predicted of a civil war in Europe in the near future since 9/11.

What do we have to do? We have to prepare for this firstly by informing everyone we know, of what is happening. Next, we need to form self-supporting groups around the country. Have no doubts that Muslims are already doing this. In fact they are well along the road of having disciplined groups that can respond to any perceived threat by force. Note the way that officers of the Household cavalry in Windsor were thrown out of their house, or the many instances when a large force of Muslim fanatics have gathered quickly around a school, cathedral or any place to impose their view by force.

The Borg is a great analogy for Political Islam. It describes the strengths and weaknesses perfectly.

O.M.G.! Does this mean all the sex toys and condoms are going to increase in price ?

Please note how 'moderate Muslims' escalate war against Infidels as soon as any curbs on them are
removed.Late deposed Prime Minster Thaksin[think his name was]did try some control-he was booted out.So now we have a junta of 'Let's appease Muslims' which have led to record bombings,arson & beheadings.Will the foolish West never learn?
What is happening now in Thailand will be repeated in their countries.'ISLAM MUST DOMINATE,'SAYS MOHAMMED.

I don't like the word insurgents at all.

It's as bad as "resistance". I call them Muslim terrorists. Secondary descriptions are Muslim nihilists and Muslim anarchists. Tar then with all three words
