Thai teachers desperate to leave south

As the jihad escalates there. From AFP, with thanks to Nicolei:

BANGKOK - More than 1,000 teachers and education officials have sought transfers out of southern Thailand following the latest shooting of a teacher by suspected Islamic separatists, an official said. At least 200 teachers in Pattani, one of three provinces wracked by violence this year, have petitioned the authorities for immediate transfers after a deputy school principal was gunned down on Wednesday and left fighting for his life, a Pattani education department official said. About 1,000 others in Narathiwat and Yala provinces are also believed to have requested transfers.

The authorities are unable to provide sufficient security in the region, where more than 310 people including teachers have been killed this year, the official said.

'We are terrified. We don't know what will happen to us,' she said.

'Even though I was born here, I want to leave and work somewhere else because we are living in fear here.'

Southern Thailand 2005 = Northern Nigeria 2003 = Western Kashmir 2002... everywhere they go they bring terrorism, murder of innocents, rape, assassination, intimidation. I wonder if the people FORCED to leave will be considered "refugees." Well, of course they won't. See, only a Muslim can be a refugee, and then only if forced to leave because of non-Muslims.

And so the peaceful muslim jihad continues. How much longer are the five billion going to be terrorised by the one billion ? We have to take a leaf from the deathcult's book - an attack on a non-muslim by a muslim ANYWHERE in the world should be seen as an attack against ALL non-muslims .

For those of you that didn't get sucked in by
Jane Fonda's rhetoric and grandstanding,this style of attacks is much like the Communists
assaults on Christian based schools in Vietnam.
The thought police that were given the job of ending any anti-Communist teachings were oh so brave to raid a childrens class and shoot the teacher in front of the students,this was followed
by the pro-communist thugs bashing sharp pencils into the ears of several kids as a lesson to the others that their ears can not be used for the anti-communist propaganda.

No doubt Jane Fonda overlooked this terrorism
to schoolkids and now it repeats itself in Russian because the media doesn't want to offend Muslims by calling Muslim terrorists Muslim Terrorists.
The North Vietnamese loved Jane's stunt and made it much easier to justify torturing schoolkids,her visit certainly looked well intended,but then,she got to go back home to the
luxury and comforts in the Country that protected her kids from having pencils hammered into thier ears. Michael Moore and her must get along really well since they have the money to visit the poor
and oppressed so they can tell us how selfish we are to not share our wealth with them.

It was the Korean forces that sent fear through
North Vietnamese soldier,the Koreans were well trained in martial arts to get infomation out of
prisoners in the field,they also weren't so soft with them since the seasoned officers from the Korea War knew that you can't re-educate a
Communists,so killing them wasn't a big loss.
The world will get fed up with the endless beheadings which are followed by Muslim denial and paranoia that everyones an Islamophobe.

NO ISLAM - KNOW PEACE

Tom Brokaw had one of those uninformative interviews with Musharraf the other night, in which he kept pushing Musharraf -- who did not need much pushing -- to describe the whole little misunderstanding between the Muslim word and everyone else as, of course, attributable to that little affair in "Palestine." Had Brokaw bothered to learn something about Islam, and had he not been so intent on reinforcing this idea, along with Musharraf himself, for the millions of viewers, he might have asked a question:

And how does the Arab-Israeli dispute cause the attacks on Buddhists in southern Thailand? On East Timorese Christians? On Hindus in Bangladesh? On Christians in your own Pakistan? On Christians and Hindus and Confucians in Bali? In Ambon? In the Moluccas? In northern Nigeria? In southern Sudan? Had Israel retreated to the 1949 armistice lines, would that have prevented the attack on the school in Beslan? The attack on churches in Karachi? The blowing up of the Bamiyan Buddhas? The requirement by the Taliban that Hindus were yellow garb so that they could be easily identified? The "Bumiputra" system in Malaysia? The expulsion of 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits? Or perhaps these texts -- then Brokaw could read from Sura 9 -- could these possibly have something to do with it? Please, President Musharraft, explain all this, could you?

Attention is now being focused on Dan Rather. But what about the fact that Brokaw did nothing of the sort? What about the fact that for all the talking-head phony experts making out like gangbusters on the networks which retain them to utter some misleading banality about the MIddle East or "terrorism" -- infuriatng to see the smarmy likes of Fawas Gerges getting paid for his "analysis" of events, given his own views and easily-discovered record of absurd misstatement, there is not a single person discussing the tenets, the teachings of Islam --and that even the word "hadith" or "ahadith" remains as practicaly unknown as the adverb "epassyterotically." Until those tenets are understood, until what it is that moves many Muslims, inspires them, consoles them, offers them a world-view that makes things so simple: in this corner, wearing white trunks, is the Muslim (Good), and over there, in the black trunks, is the Infidel (Bad). End of story -- which is why American soldiers are somewhat confused as people try to kill them even though they are in Iraq only to lavish (foolishly, one might add) tens of billions of dollars of aid on a country that has done nothing to deserve such aid (Allawi and the layer of genuinely "grateful" Iraqis cannot be, amon gthe Arabs at least, more than 5% of the population --the rest are divided between those who will pocket the aid, without any real or lasting gratitude to the Infidel, and those who will try to kill the Americans instead of letting them lavish the aid first.)-- until that becomes a constant topic on the evening news, we will contninue to be offered guides to confusion, and out of confusion, of course, comes a misallocation of resources, of men, materiel, money, and attention. Out of confusion, the civilization of Europe can, in a few decades, be irretrievably damaged.

Anyone at the networks worried about this? Just an eensy-weensy bit?

" Thai teachers desperate to leave south "

Might seem a tad rhetroical but which nonmuslim wopuld elect to voluntarily live/work in a muslim dominated community? Give me one freakin' generic example? From mullacracies like Iran to focibly secularised Turkey to mild-sufist islamic malaysia to moslem ghettos in European cities to bloddy anywhere on earth.... where moslems congregate in sufficient numbers, nonmoslems perforce pay a jiziya (non-muslim tax) - whether it be monetray in form or psychological.

I slam islam.

Why is it that these islamist muslims can't live in harmony and peace with Buddhists. What are these muslims afraid of..that buddhist priests will kill them with kindness!! Nope these muslims arn't reacting to oppression, they are acting according to their belief that buddhist are inferior human beings unfit to be in the same vicinity or country as themselves. Buddists are getting in the way of their master plan. These muslim islamists see themselves as the religous and ideological master race. Hitler has come back wearing a cloak and turban.

A tip for FOX News:

Want even better ratings? Interview Robert more often and let Hugh write the questions for your "War On Terror" correspondents.

NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN will be absolutely blown away.

And do it NOW. Be first to market.

Can you hear that sound? CA-CHING!
