Two Buddhists shot and killed by suspected Christian fundamentalists in southern Thailand -- no, wait...

It wasn't Christian fundamentalists, you say? It was Islamic jihadists? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?

"Two Buddhists shot and killed by suspected Muslim insurgents in southern Thailand," by The Associated Press, with thanks to Twostellas:

BANGKOK, Thailand: Two men were killed Wednesday by suspected Muslim insurgents in southern Thailand who apparently targeted the victims because they were Buddhist, police said.

The first victim was identified as a 55-year-old rubber tapper, who was shot three times while driving his motorcycle by a gunman on the back of another motor bike, said police Maj. Suthas Noosrikong of Lammai police station in Yala province, where the attack occurred.

Fifteen minutes later, a gunman pulled up on a motorcycle to the home of a Buddhist man in the same village. The attacker entered the home and fired three times, killing the man, aged 69.

"We believe that Muslim insurgents are responsible for the death of the two Buddhist men today," Suthas said, saying police believed the killings were premeditated. "The attackers mean to scare Buddhists away from the area."

As many said yesterday, the cure for Islamophobia is simple-get rid of Islam, one way or another.
200 years ago nobody would have thought smallpox would ever be wiped out but by and large it has. Time to make the cult of death just as relevant.

I have a Chinese friend working in Bangkok for GE, and when the recent coup happened she was worried but everything seemed to be clearing up. I think she needs to start worrying again. She's Taoist and not Muhammadan -- she's too clever for that -- which makes her a target.

This is part of our war, my friends.

We must support the Buddhist people of Thailand.

The fool king put a muslim general in charge ?

Well that should fix things, shouldn't it ?

To overcome the insurgency, the non-Muslim Thais must retaliate with similar jihadist terror tactics on the local Islamist populace. Anything less will not work.

In fact there were 5 slaughters reported today on local radio station. Not confirmed yet though.

Hence the following development

In a separate development, police said letters apparently mailed from Pattani province warned Buddhists in parts of next-door Yala province they could be harmed unless they pay a monthly tax, and identify their payment publicly.

The letters demanded that Buddhist villagers pay a monthly tax of 500 baht at mosques, in return for a green piece of cloth. The letters said the cloth should be tied in front of the homes of Buddhists, so villagers would be safe from insurgent attacks, the police reported.

I nearly forgot

The same letters demanded that authorities and private firms hold no New Year parties.

What threat does a 55 year rubber trapper pose to anyone. THis man probably lived in a shack, with no electricity, no running water, HE probably has no money,jewels,his motorbike is probable a moped (the luxury model-it actually ran). I suspect he did not participate in murdereous raids on anyone, made no threats to anyone, did not enlave anyone and probably did not preach to anyone.

Like most of Islams victims, he was just trying to live life.

As Usual Islam cares not for life and thrives by power at barrel of a gun.

The Islamaniacs must really have it made-from what I understand Buddhists are peaceful in the extreme. The crazies must really drool at the prospect for easy slaughter here. I hope the king has a good evacuation plan ready-he'll probably need it.

This may seem to some as an isolated incident, by some smalltime people, in some far away place. But it is not. This incident is directly connected to every other violent act done in the name of Allah.
All muslims share the common insanity caused by contact with the demon Allah. The Quran or a cleric somewhere, gives these people their marching orders and like faithful little slaves, they obey.

Well who can blame the poor persecuted Muslims for killing the Evil Violent Buddhists!

LOL

Death to Buddhism! (jk)

my bf is thai and I know a lot of thai people -- dont worry about them, they will not pushed around. unlike in the west thai people are fiercely proud of their buddhist culture and the concept of political correctness hasnt reached their shores. most of the thais i ve met openly state their disgust with islam, and i m aware of condo buildings who have an open policy of not selling or renting to muslims. a british muslim dr recently filled a complaint with the government, and they said the buildings have the right to do so. thai people are among the worlds friendliest, but they re not swallowing any bs about the religion of peace, etc. by the way many of the thai muslims thay dont lve in majority muslim provinces in the south are imbued with the influence of majority buddhist culture and are truly moderate and lovely people

My wife is Thai and we stay in the south. Our province is 99% percent Buddhist and about 1% Muslims. Everybody i knows fears and dislikes Muslims, so if they every push out of their majority provinces and pull the jihad stuff it will get ugly. It truely is a nice place to visit and the people are nice as can be, plus our area lacks alot of the sleaze of places like Phuket and Pattaya. I worry about Bangkok though. There are is large muslim areas starting to form. We have an apartment in BKK too and all the buildings there are full of resettled muslims from Nigeria, Sudan, and bunch of Muslim countries. Why can't they resettle them in Malaysia?

The whole islamic crime against humanity thing can be solved easily,it goes something like this.

Dear saudi royalty,dear iranian lunatics.

It has come to our attention in fact some time ago ( this part is a bit thin since the political spectrum is clueless) that the religion/politics of islam is to enslave the world into it's hypocracy.We have noticed a substantial amount of bodies stacking up and they have been done in by the most inhumane tactics concievable by a human being,with out remorse and in fact considered to be the work of heroes and mighty men.One slightly more inteligent person could say and does say that most of those victims are women and children.

The free world,yes the part of the world that has been feeding your hungry and oppressed people (caused by islam itself,none other )have come to a decision.One warning shot is to be shot over your bow,so to speak.I assume you have heard of the m.o.a.b? It is a bit nasty of a bomb accurately nick named "the mother of all bombs".This bomb will be modified to explode well over your heads so as to not cause harm.This bomb,in case you do not know is able to be detnoted just before hitting the ground preventing the making of a hole,instead it decimates all that it within it's very wide range,this bomb is the size of a city bus of which the jihad warriors and martyrs are aware of thier size.

This bomb will go off near medina,as i said it will not cause damage it will just be an example of what will be to come if the message is not recieved.The U.s and the free world have said they would not use nukes ever again because of it's mass destruction and we are not a people intent on such undertakings.If you look at the real record of the free world you should be able to agree.However we will not sit idley by and allow your foolishness and egomanical and carelessness for others lives and freedom to not believe in your ideals.We are aware of your plans and tactics as i have stated above and we cannot allow it to go any further.At what point do we know when enough is enough?

Consider your options,think real hard before you answer but the time we will wait will not be long.The U.N. has absolutely nothing to do with this situation therfore this is the only line drawn in the sand ,so to speak.

I will add that the free world does not wish such things but in this century and in future centuries there is no place for your century.The whole of the world is your oyster from which to learn but not to conquer.The end of islam could be your next move or the next level of islam could be achieved.Take it to the umma,take it to the hierarchy time is running out,the sand empties quickly from the hour glass.

It wasn't Christian fundamentalists, you say? It was Islamic jihadists? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?
.................

Here in the US there has been a huge recent furor over a new video game based on the "Left Behind" series, called "Left Behind: Eternal Forces". The game includes a scenario where players shoot and kill those who don't convert to the particular sect of Christianity that believes in the Rapture. The players do lose points if they have to resort to this (i.e. can't convert their opponents), but can regain points by "praying".

I actually do find this pretty offensive.

As this takes place after the "Rapture", though, it is probably less dangerous in terms of actual real life copy-cat behavior than games such as "Grand Therft Auto".

So what's my point? As ugly as this game is, for most people the idea of Christian fundamentalist violence is largely restricted to fiction and games.

Islamic violence against unbelievers is ongoing and widespread, but I believe much less well known to most Americans than this game.
