Lost Budgie alerts us to what happens to those who try to become more moderate Muslims- or perhaps just retire from jihad to spend more time with their families.
From Thailand:
A couple and their seven children were massacred yesterday in southern Thailand, where a Muslim insurgency has killed more than 1,000 people in two years.
Officials said around 30 Islamist militants surrounded a house in the village of Bo-Ngo, firing bullets and grenades before shooting those inside with handguns.
The victims were Luteng Arwarebueza, 44, his wife, and their seven children, aged from one to 20. Nine other people in nearby houses were injured.
The governor of Narathiwat province, Pracha Tearat, said that Mr Arwarebueza was a former rebel who quit the insurgency five months ago.
He “had received constant threats from militants and the massacre was to set a precedent for other defectors,” said Mr Pracha.
