The mass murder has been identified as a Muslim named Mohamad Museyin. “The motive behind the attack remains unclear,” says the Herald Sun, but in reality the motive is only unclear to those who refuse to admit that there is a global jihad. The motive of a Muslim who leaves a backpack with a bomb in it at a Hindu shrine that is frequented by Buddhists in a country that has been battling jihad violence for years now is unclear only to those who are willfully ignorant.
“Bangkok bombing: Thai police name blast suspect as Mohamad Museyin,” by Stephen Drill, Herald Sun, August 21, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):
THAI Police have named a man in connection with the Bangkok bombing that killed 20 people.
Authorities have revealed they are searching for a Muslim man called Mohamad Museyin, The Times of London reported.
But the bespectacled man, who was seen leaving a back pack at the Erawan Shrine shortly before the explosion, remains on the run.
There are fears he may have fled overseas after being dropped off by a motorcycle taxi driver at Lumpini Park, in central Bangkok after the attack on Monday night.
Two other suspects who were identified on security footage and believed to be accomplices have been questioned and cleared by police.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Police have said the bombing was not linked to any terrorism group, and no-one has so far claimed responsibility for the deadly blast that also injured 125 people.
The reward for information leading to an arrest has doubled to 2 million baht ($76,000), as police hope for more help from the public.
Police suspect up to 10 people were involved in the attack that may have taken a month to plan….

My girlfriend (Thai) has been worried for days that this was an attempt by some secular group or individual with the intention of making the Thai king look bad, due to the prominent yellow shirt (yellow = supporters of the king, and red = supporters of the corrupt former PM and his equally scumbag sister). Thank you for at least allowing me to put her mind at ease on that one.
Off topic, but stand by for more from Mr. Spencer on these (just got back from reading the local newspaper): IS claims responsibility for the bomb attack on the “apostate government” in Aden, and IS also set off a chain of explosions against security forces in Cairo.

Could this have something to do with the bombing of the shrine? It might be a stretch – of one or two microns:
Muslim (969) narrated that Abu’l-Hayaaj al-Asadi said: ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib said to me: “Shall I not send you with the same instructions as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent me? ‘Do not leave any image without defacing it or any built-up grave without leveling it.’”
Muslim (832) narrated from ‘Urwah ibn ‘Abasah that he said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “With what were you sent?” He said, “I was sent to uphold the ties of kinship, to break the idols, and so that Allaah would be worshipped alone with no partner or associate.”
It was also a “twofer” in that: “Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people.” (Quran 9:14) was carried out by killing infidels.

Yup–Hindu or Buddhist or Christian images (as well as secular ones, of course)–are targets for pious Muslims. Add to this that Hindus are “polytheists”, and this is a “twofer” indeed.

When I heard about this bomb blast on CNN I knew it was a jihadi attack. Nothing else would make sense. Muzzies want to destroy all civilisations and they hate the Thais because they crack down the jihadis in the South of Thailand. I can only hope the Thai police will catch this muzzie and his accomplices soon, so that Thailand becomes safe again. The Thais need their tourists and I wish the Thai people all the best in this time of mourning

I hope the Thais string up this monster. I love Thai culture (not to mention the food!) and this sort of thing upsets me no end.
GD Muslims want to destroy anything associated with history or another culture. That’s because they have nothing to offer the world.
Qur'an is Haram says
It took a few days, but I figured that it was a 50% chance that the terrorist was named Mohammed since in 2015 virtually 100% of deaths caused by terrorism were caused by Muslims (also in 2014).

Violence is contrarian to core Buddhist beliefs and Lord Buddha’s core philosophy where he said ” even if some one tears you from limb to limb you will not commit an act of hate or violence”. Core principle of Ahimsa.
It is a beautiful aspect to practice but in present world circumstances very difficult to implement.
Look what happened to Afghanistan and Pakistan. These former Hindu and Buddhist societies haven turned into an Islamic hell hole (Islamic paradise for muslims) through violent and barbaric conquest.
Better even Christ philosophy of love your enemy is not practically implementable. Look at Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon etc. All christian societies that have been plundered and pillaged by evil Islam.
Afghans lost they final vestige of humanity when Taliban blew up Bamiyan Buddha statue. I actually know of Afghan Hindus and Sikhs living in Afghanistan even after all this and living as Dhimmis. Because they know what Islam is all about even though they are still being persecuted.
ISLAM IS UNSUSTAINABLE AND MUST BE ERADICATED TO ENSURE SURVIVAL OF HUMAN KIND.

Mazo says
This man is a Turk. A foreigner.
This is totally unrelated to the insurgency waged by ethnic Malays in southern Thailand. They never target Bangkok and have a de facto agreement with the corrupt Thai military that they would only engage in violence in the three southern Malay provinces. In exchange the Thai military largely does not give a damn about bombs going off in the south as only low level conscripts and junior officers die.
Thai speaking Muslims and Chinese speaking Hui Muslims in northern Thailand have good relations with the Thai monarchy and never engage in violence. The Thai Kings have appointed the Thai speaking descendants of Persian Muslims to high positions like Grand Multi and commander in chief of the Thai military like General Soonthi and thrt held important positions in the Thai court.
This terrorist bomber had a Turkish surname and most likely planted the bomb because Thailand deported terrorist Turkic Uyghur suspects back to China to face punishment for their evil crimes instead of sending them to safety in Turkey.
The Syrian Army is fighting against Uyghur terrorists in Idlib who crossed into Syria through Turkey. They call themselves tge “Turkistan Brigade”. These Uyghurs were trained by Al Qaeda and supported by dirty westerners. Westerners who massacred and raped Native Americans and who call Uyghur terrorists as “freedom fighters”.
voegelinian says
“the Thai military largely does not give a damn about bombs going off in the south as only low level conscripts and junior officers die.”
Mazo is either ignorant (but presuming knowledge anyway) or lying — probably the latter. A simple Advanced Search on Google, typing in “thailand” and specifying jihadwatch.org, yields pages and pages of stories (each page approximately ten links) recounting the women, children, elderly, and Buddhist monks and nuns, as well as fishermen and rubber tappers (humble ordinary Thais trying to make a modest living by harvesting rubber from trees) who have been targets of Mohammedan terror attacks over the years.

Mazo says
These monks and rubber tappers must be high ranking officers. I heard all the five star generals in the Thai military were rubber tappers. You know what I was getting at and you are deliberately trolling about semantics.
Mazo says
Westerners are very devious, snake like, and wicked. israel and the West have supported Turkey for decades since the Cold War in savagely repressing the native Kurdish minority, Armenian Genocide denial, implementing racist and discriminatory policies, banning non-Turkish languages and names, supporting racist Turkish ultra nationalists like the Grey Wolves in massacring leftist Turks and Kurds.
Then these westerners cry that Turkic minorities in countries they don’t like are being oppressed, “oppressed” as in not being able to carry out terrorist bombings and mass murders. Their language isn’t banned, neither are their names, and they are recognized as ethnic minorities (unlike in Kemalist Turkey where Kurds were called “mountain Turks” and ultra nationalist brainwashing was taught in Turkish history books), so it can’t be any of those issues which are causing “oppression”.
I remember the Ahl e Yahuda assisting the Turks in genocide denial like Abram Foxman, Shimon Peres, Avigdor Lieberman, while Arafat and the PLO were training Armenian ASALA militants to carry out attacks against Turkey. Theodore Herzl lobbied on behalf of the Ottoman Sultan after the Hamidian massacres of Armenians.

…………………………..
Grimly hilarious. Mazo holds that the West is wicked for not doing more to oppose *Muslim* barbarism; notice that he has no words of condemnation or even criticism for the Muslim savagery itself.
This is especially grotesque when it comes to the Armenian Genocide. Reading this history, the West should have done more to oppose this atrocity–but in the end Westerners were the only ones opposing it at all.
Apart from a very limited amount of help from Russia at the very end, most of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide survived due to the West.
And then Mazo has made the ludicrous claim before that they main deniers of the Armenian Genocide were the Jews. Israel was more apt to ignore past Turkish crimes, just because Turkey was–until recently, with their own resurgence of Islam–one of the few Muslim countries that wasn’t bent on the destruction of Israel.
But the denial of the Armenian Genocide has always been driven by Turkey itself–they don’t want the Infidels to know that they mass-murdered virtually all of their non-Muslim population a century ago.
As for the rest of the West’s supposed denial, I live in San Francisco. The cross on her highest point, Mt. Davidson–a monument that can been seen from virtually all parts of the city–is a memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, an atrocity perpetrated by Mazo’s own savage coreligionists.

Mazo says
Cretinmirage. Ahl e Yahuda are long time allies of Turkish barbarians, from Sinan Reis, to Joseph Nasi, to Benjamin Disraeli. Allied with them against Christian Europeans. Long before the creation of israel.
There is no western cluelessness. There is deliberate evil and malice by westerners who think they can “use” Turkic peoples like Uyghurs against their enemies.

……………………………………
What rot. It doesn’t matter whether this Jihadist is ethnically Thai or not. He is waging Jihad against Thais nonetheless. This might be “revenge” for Thais fighting back against the Jihad insurgency in the south of the country, or it might just be a high-profile Infidel target. I doubt it much matters–especially to the injured and the families of the murdered victims.

In exchange the Thai military largely does not give a damn about bombs going off in the south as only low level conscripts and junior officers die.
……………………………………
As Voegelinain points out, the victims are not just “low level conscripts and junior officers”, but all sorts of ordinary Thais. The idea that the only victims are Thai military is utterly false.
Moreover, even if Thai authorities *were* so corrupt–a very questionable assertion–would that actually make the murderous Jihad terrorists any less barbarous? Of course not.
More:
Thai speaking Muslims and Chinese speaking Hui Muslims in northern Thailand have good relations with the Thai monarchy and never engage in violence. The Thai Kings have appointed the Thai speaking descendants of Persian Muslims to high positions like Grand Multi and commander in chief of the Thai military like General Soonthi and thrt held important positions in the Thai court.
……………………………………
More of the same–the implication that since not every Muslim in Thailand is murdering Buddhist monks and blowing up Hindu shrines, that this bloody Jihad terrorism is–somehow–not really a problem. Try again, creep.
More:
This terrorist bomber had a Turkish surname and most likely planted the bomb because Thailand deported terrorist Turkic Uyghur suspects back to China to face punishment for their evil crimes instead of sending them to safety in Turkey.
……………………………………
Let’s assume this is the case–why does this matter? Just another Muslim “grievance” that leads Mazo’s pious coreligonists to slaughter innocent people.

These Uyghurs were trained by Al Qaeda and supported by dirty westerners. Westerners who massacred and raped Native Americans and who call Uyghur terrorists as “freedom fighters”.
……………………………………
More crap. The idea that Muslim savagery is all the fault of the “filthy Kuffar”, especially Westerners.
Just as with accusations against Thai authorities, this would matter little even if it were true–which it is not. Western or other Infidel cluelessness–or even outright corruption–would not render Muslim savagery any less vicious.
More, in reply to Voegelinian:
These monks and rubber tappers must be high ranking officers. I heard all the five star generals in the Thai military were rubber tappers. You know what I was getting at and you are deliberately trolling about semantics.

More bs. Mazo’s implication was that the victims were entirely military; Voegelinian rightly pointed out that most of the victims of this Muslim insurgency are unarmed civilians. Of course this is an important distinction, though Mazo pretends it is not.

He was a Moroccan (therefore, pretty much 100 percent certain to be Muslim).
he had a weapon, knives, loads of ammo.
He went into the train toilets (presumably to put his gun together and load it) and came out firing.
Upon which, he was promptly tackled by three unarmed US Marines who happened to be on board the same train…..He wounded one of them pretty badly, but…they got their man. He was brought under control, disarmed, and very firmly sat on until the train could stop and the French police arrived to take him into custody. Me, I’m just sorry that he didn’t get killed resisting arrest…I am sure the Marines could have arranged it, easy – but maybe the Marines thought it worthwhile to keep him alive for purposes of interrogation and extraction of information about any *other* jihad gang members and gang bosses he may be connected with.

The shooter was Ayoub el-Qahzzani, a Moroccan–clearly a Muslim–who was “known” to European authorities, He had lived in Spain, then went to Syria (presumably for Jihad training), then was using France as a base before his Jihad rampage.
The US Marines were not even armed, but were brave and quick-thinking enough to tackle a JIhadist armed with an automatic weapon.
God bless these men! Who knows how many lives they saved?
SpiritOf1683 says
I reckon the name Ayoub el-Qahzzani rules out the Amish. Of course, according to the BBC’s political correctness, it could be just as likely to be an Amish as a Muslim Jihadi. The open door immigration policy towards Muslims that Europe has had for over 50 years seems to be ‘working’ well as usual.

Their time to be vanquished is fast approaching and Islam will end as it began through death and destruction to herald a new beginning for human existence that us increasingly driven by now by immorality and sin.

The Thai government won’t admit it is a terror attack by internationally linked jihadis as it would be bad for the tourism industry. So they will continue to talk about local political groups like the “Red Shirts”.
But smart observers will have noticed that the motorcycle taxi man said the suspect looked to him like he was “middle eastern”, couldn’t speak Thai and that he talked on the phone in a foreign language (not English, perhaps Arabic?).
As for motive, either it’s linked to the Southern Thailand muslim insurgency. A bomb at the tourist island of Koh Samui was linked to them some months ago. Alternatively the deportation of the 100 muslim Uighars back to China may be the motive. The Thai Embassy in Turkey was attacked shortly after that occurred and this latest bombing may be connected.

An update about the Bangkok bombing
Police Refute ‘The Times’ Report Naming Suspect
BANGKOK — Police have denied a news report earlier today claiming two witnesses who said they interacted with the suspected Bangkok bomber had positively identified him in a passport photo shown to them by authorities.
While one suspect remains the singular focus of intense scrutiny and speculation behind Monday’s deadly bombing at the Erawan Shrine, police refuted a report from correspondent Richard Lloyd Parry claiming one witness was “100 percent sure” the suspect was the same man whose passport photo was shown to him.
“I don’t know who the source in this story is, but let me insist that police are working based on the evidence that we have,” outgoing national police chief Somyot Pumpanmuang told reporters this afternoon when asked about the report.
Somyot denied the man named in the news report was a person of interest. Asked specifically if investigators have linked any name to the suspected bomber yet, Somyot said “not yet.”
Kasey says
And the police say they are unaware of his motives? Surely they know it just comes naturally to any Muslim who has been indoctrinated with the radical verses found in the Koran to kill all non-Muslims.
