“Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks…” (Qur’an 47:4). “Thai Buddhist beheaded in south,” from the BBC, with thanks to Susan:
The situation is tense in Thailand’s southern provinces
A Buddhist man has been found beheaded in the majority Muslim province of Pattani in southern Thailand.A note found next to the man’s head claimed the murder was carried out in response to last week’s arrest of a prominent Muslim student leader.
It was the fifth decapitation in a conflict that has claimed more than 700 lives in the past 18 months.
The note next to the severed head of retired teacher Kamol Chuneth carried a message obviously intended for police.
The note said that the authorities had arrested the wrong man.
