Two public school teachers killed in Thailand's Muslim-majority south

Thailand Jihad Update. "2 public school teachers shot and killed in Thailand's restive Muslim south," from the Associated Press:

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Suspected Muslim insurgents shot dead two public school teachers Tuesday in Thailand's insurgency-wracked south, police said.

Now, that's much more descriptive than "restive."

At least two attackers hidden in the brush stepped out on to a narrow village road in Narathiwat's Rue So district and shot the two teachers with pistols while they were riding motorcycles home, police Lt. Col. Thanapol Meechai said.
The two had been part of a group of six teachers guarded by a village defense volunteer, which is normal practice in the south. But the two who were attacked had fallen behind the others, he said.

Thailand's jihadists have established a distinctive pattern of targeting teachers. For additional examples from this year alone, see here, here, and here.

Beyond the fact that diversity is something we need to control, we can sometimes learn culturist lessons from muslims. Notice the way that they will not stand for even a sliver of a nation - Israel - to be in their realm. Also note - (and this is not an endorsement of killing teachers!!!) - that having schools propagate your message is essential to controlling the culture.

Young people are not designed to be rational. Rational scrutiny would undermine a primitive fledgling culture. Young people are designed to drink up the culture they are born into. The culture must teach its values to the culture if it is to succeed and continue. In the absence of culturist guidance bad things can happen. In the absence of learning about Western virtues and history, youth will not intuit it.

Academia Watch: People, please read this pabulum in which the callow youth refers to al-Qaeda as "just a few guys in caves." It's unbelievable.

A posting from September about that "restive Muslim south" and Muslims, everywhre in the Bilad al-kufr, "tanned and restive and ready":

"The Muslim minority in Thailand, or anywhere at all in some region incorrectly identified as "Muslim" ("Thailand's troubled Muslim south" is the phrase in the AP story, when it is, more accurately, "Thailand's south, where Muslims are intent on dominating and throwing off all aspects -- military, legal, administrative, pedagogic -- of the Infidel nation-state." But that would be a bit too complicated. So it becomes "the troubled Muslim south" and readers think -- tiens, it's the "Muslim" south, so it must belong to the "Muslims." End of story.

Just as in Thailand, Infidel nation-states all over the world face revolts, some employing terrorism, some guerrilla warfare, some the Money Weapon, some their new-found political power, some campaigns of Da'wa, some demographic conquest, to weaken the authority, of every aspect of the authority, of the Infidel nation-state, which in Islam makes no sense, and cannot permanently stand.

Those Muslims within Infidel lands may not all be beheading Buddhist monks and schoolteachers and farmers, but they have other Infidel targets, and other instruments of Jihad. But they are to be found all over the Bilad al-kufr: tanned, and restive, and ready.

When the parents bring an AK-47 to the teacher conference, then you know there's jihad in the neighborhood.

I hadn't noticed. But now that I see it, this pattern of attacking teachers is significant and interesting.

It sounds deliberate and meaningful, but I can't quite make sense of it.

Hmmmm ........

Of course, those Thai school teachers are notorious Jewish Zionists.

Not to mention oil-hungry imperialist invaders.
