Thai Jihad Update. "Three-year-old boy shot dead in Thailand," from Agence France-Presse:
PATTANI, Thailand (AFP) - Suspected separatists shot dead a three-year-old boy in Thailand's restive south Sunday, police said, hours after hundreds of Muslims gathered to protest the killing of a retired teacher.
The child was killed when insurgents in a truck opened fire on the home of his father, a Muslim village headman, police said. The father was also injured in the attack in Narathiwat province.
The shooting came after suspected Islamic rebels threw a grenade into a crowd of people who were leaving the mosque in Pattani after evening prayers late Saturday.
Moments later, the insurgents opened fire on the crowd outside the mosque, police said, killing a former teacher and injuring three people.
[...]
Police said more than 100 veiled women and their children staged a short protest demanding peace in the south, where more than 2,100 people have been killed since the latest insurgency erupted in January 2004.
"Mostly women and children, hiding their faces behind veils, came to protest and call for peace. They only protested for one hour before leaving," said police colonel Thawal Nakrawong.
That sense of urgency, even from fellow Muslims, notwithstanding: "OIC urges Thailand to be patient in tackling insurgency," from United News of India:
Bangkok, Apr 27: The Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) has praised Thailand’s handling of insurgency in the country’s Muslim-majority southern border region but urged patience ahead of an OIC team visit here.
Ekmeleddin Ishanolgu, Secretary-General of the 57-Islamic nation grouping is scheduled to arrive in Bangkok on April 30 leading a delegation which will travel to Thailand’s troubled south.
An OIC advisor who met the top official in the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs here yesterday in preparation for the visit, said Thailand’s approach to the over three-year-old southern insurgency showed recognition of its root causes.
As defined and approved by the OIC.
The OIC found this encouraging and this was the reason the grouping has deferred discussion on the Thai insurgency till next month’s OIC foreign ministers’ conference in Pakistan which takes place after the OIC secretary-general’s Thailand visit, OIC advisor Sayed El-Masry told Thai foreign ministry’s Permanent Secretary Virasak Futrakul.
However, the OIC official added that it could take a number of years before the approach produces results and the Thai government must be patient.
[...]
It is, however, not correct to equate the Thai insurgency to similar situations involving Muslim minorities in other nations, Mr El-Masry, a former OIC assistant secretary -general added.
"Each situation has its own dimensions and different cases have different paths," he said.
The OIC has "to take care of one-third of the world's Muslim population of 1.8 billion who are minorities under the principle that we respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country we are working with. But please note that the OIC has never supported separatist movements," the OIC official said.
Through action or inaction?

1.8 Billion now? What happened? Does the extra 600M assume Eurabia and Londonistan? (Why wait for 2050)...

"OIC urges Thailand to be patient in tackling insurgency,"
...If you are being attacked, patience should be replaced by calculated active response...The response should be highly visible and it meaning clear...
...failure to respond will ensure further attacks...

Somehow this image reminds me of Condi and Dubya when they go to the Mideast.

It's impossible to show oversensitivity to Islam or to be too circumspect when dealing with Moslems.
All they need is understanding, funding, and time --- lotsa time & lotsa money --- to work their ineluctable magic.

"Thailand's restive south"
That's a cliché by now. Reality is this is a Koranically inspired war against non Muslims. I thought liberals liked Buddhists?
Well, they like Muslims more because they like their mythical noble savage with a "compelling" narrative to sell. That Buddha meditating under a Bodhi tree stuff, discovering the four noble truths, is BORING!

"Thailand's restive south" -
gets 23,600 hits on google. Talk about a hackneyed phrase!
JOURNALISTS ARE SUCH BRAIN DEAD CONFORMISTS! LAZY LAZY LAZY INTELLECTUALLY LAZY AND INCURIOUS!

..."hundreds of Muslims gathered to protest the killing of a retired teacher...."
....these hundreds of Muslims need to do a neighborhood search, locate the Muslims terrorists and turn them in to the police....protesting produces no results...action produces results...

"Restive"? I hate to see it when it becomes violent
Posted by: Elric66 at April 30, 2007 9:24 AM
Wow! I'm sure the Thais are so grateful for the OIC's backing of their approach.
After all, this is the same organisation that defines "terrorist crime" (Article I, paragraph 3 of the CONVENTION OF THE ORGANISATION OF THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE ON COMBATING INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM, located at http://www.oic-oci.org/) as: "any crime executed, started or participated in to realize a terrorist objective in any of the Contracting States or against its nationals, assets or interests or foreign facilities and nationals residing in its territory punishable by its internal law."
So, if you haven't signed up to this convention (which I think its safe to assume Thailand hasn't), then the OIC doesn't view it a terrorist crime to carry out, start or participate in, any terrorist objective against you.
More threatening is the OIC's declaration of human rights which ends with the following two articles:
"ARTICLE 24: All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Shari'ah."
and
"ARTICLE 25: The Islamic Shari'ah is the only source of reference for the explanation or clarification of any of the articles of this Declaration."
These articles make crystal clear that the OIC's view of human rights is completely subordinate to Sharia. How long will it be before the OIC announces that the root cause of the problems in Southern Thailand is that Sharia isn't in place for the muslims living there?
We can only support Thailand in its efforts to stand up to the Islamic nazis. Why don't Malaysia and Indonesia stop the trafficking of arms & ideology across their borders? Oh, that's right, they're both OIC members.

Of course the OIC advises patience. That way, Islam can swallow all of Thailand-why eat only a slice when the whole cake is available?

You've just hit on the essence of islamic doublespeak. Whle they talk about one thing they'll sneak in some disinformation about another.
islam is the dirt under my shoe. pigs be upon it. Pity the pigs.

Snake handler advises rabbit in serpent's mouth to be patient with python.
You are getting sleepy.... sleepy.... sleepy!
Wake up, it's 2060, and Sharia rules.
Posted by: profitsbeard at April 30, 2007 3:14 PM
I don't see CAIR condemning this or even calling it a tragic mistake as Muslims only blow up little girls and this little boy only died by mistake.
Only silence.
Posted by: Lame Cherry at April 30, 2007 4:05 PM
Thai government must be patient.
well does not that sound typical muslim talking points. the only patience l would expect from my government would be at how fast can they round up those muslims back to jail.
at April 30, 2007 5:00 PM
It's time for anti-moslem death squads.
This kind of barbarity can no longer go unanswered.
Where ar Human Rights Watch, "Doctors, Lawyers, Reporters without borders"??!!
Where the HELL are they?!
Too busy worrying about "palestinians" and gitmo?!
Dixie Dicks should have a solidarity concert for the innocent VICTIMS of islam! Oh I forgot there are no innocent victims. They didn't believe in "god" so they are guilty in the eyes of the moonFoes.
Therefore the Western Dhimedia and the Dhimartists stay SILENT!
SHAME ON THEM ALL!!

Memo to the Thai government:
You need to keep your own citizens alive, even if it means making the OIC upset.
While Buddha recognized death as inevitable, he never advocated suicide as a path to peace.
Posted by: Infidel Pride at April 30, 2007 8:31 PM
Of course the OIC likes the Idea that nothing is being done. The leadership of Thailand understands what is going on and is not to interfere. The OIC need to see things get worst before they can take the matter seriously. Just observe their handy work in the mean time.

Uh, excuse me? Was I the only one to notice:
"the OIC has never supported separatist movements"
Unless it's in Israel, Russia, Serbia, Cyprus, India, Nigeria... Why should Thailand be any different?
Posted by: Surak at April 30, 2007 9:00 PM
Nope...
We're just so accustomed to their twisted lexicon (opposite of ours) that it flies by with a yawn.

"However, the OIC official added that it could take a number of years before the approach produces results and the Thai government must be patient."
Yes I suppose it would take them about 20 years to outbreed the native population. And then sharia would be the defacto law of the entire land. I was visiting some muslim neighbourhoods in my city yesterday and boy, are they breeding.

The first sentence of the article:
Suspected separatists shot dead a three-year-old boy in Thailand's restive south Sunday, police said, hours after hundreds of Muslims gathered to protest the killing of a retired teacher.
"Suspected separatists" did the shooting. "Hundreds of Muslims" protested the killings. The "mass media" created the distortions and omissions.
Why do they not identify the shooters as Muslims, but they do identify the people protesting the killings as Muslims? Why is it unacceptable in the first case, but acceptable in the second?
If the victim is a Muslim, that fact is highlighted in bold flashing red letters in the first sentence of the story. If the perpetrator is a Muslim, that fact is glossed over, softened as "suspected", and mentioned offhandedly in the 3rd or 4th paragraph on page 11B, if it is ever mentioned at all.
By the way, has the Korean gunman's manifesto been released yet? Or are they still poring over it?

Breeding.. and paid for by the REST OF US. We can no longer be responsible for the upkeep of the UNPRODUCTIVE sworn enmies of ours.
They HAVE to carry their own weight. And weight they are... dragging us all down with them.. into the vortex of sharia..
I am afraid this will only be resolved by utmost violence.
They cannot be talked to. They cannot be reasoned with.
Their demands are absolute and inransigent.
Therefore we MUST RESIST at the barrel of the gun!
We have no other choice. We cannot apply our Enlightenment ideals to these savages.

Muslims throwing grenades at muslims leaving a mosque after prayer with other muslims saying be patient with the muslims throwing grenades at muslims killing muslims, killing muslims, killing muslims, etc.
This would be similar to snake-handling Christians trying to kill every other Christian on the planet because they wont take up snakes while the real "snake" behind all evil lurks in the shadows and laughs with glee.
A long time ago I was standing next to an older man and we were watching two teenage boys wrestle in the dirt outside a business we were both at; and the man said "If ida had two boys born that dumb I would have pinched the heads off both of them a long time ago". lol
Hmmmm--Time to pinch the head off the snake that makes all those "boys" try to kill each other over there before they come over here.
A long time ago God came down and drowned every one on the planet because ALL mankind was ALL evil ALL the time. Its that same evil spirit thats trying to get us back to that same place again. He doesnt win, of course, read the back of the book, we do!

True. But even among JWers you will find people who do not understand this. What I do know is that there is no humane solution to jihad. The choice is binary - them, or Us.
