Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Thailand: Muslims injure 7 police officers and 2 civilians with jihad car bomb, Islamic State cell active in south

Feb 27, 2016 5:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“More than 5,000 people have been killed since an insurgency erupted in 2004 in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces, the only ones with Muslim majorities in the predominantly Buddhist country. Last year, the level of violence dropped, according to official figures, but peace talks have made little apparent progress.” What a surprise.

Thai car bomb

“Car Bomb Explodes in Pattani, Just Days after Gen. Chavalit Says IS Affiliate in Deep South,” Chiangrai Times, February 27, 2016:

PATTANI – Police in southern Thailand were injured Saturday by an improvised bomb hidden inside a parked car exploded leaving seven officers and two civilians injured.

The attack in Pattani province was believed to have been carried out by Muslim insurgents who targeted the outpost used by special forces, said police Col. Keerati Waeyoosoh, the Pattani police superintendent.

Keerati said the bomb, made from a cylinder gas tank, was placed inside a car that had been stolen earlier Saturday from a tire shop whose owner was shot three times but survived. The car was then parked before it exploded outside a roadside restaurant adjacent to the police camp, which was destroyed by the blast.

More than 5,000 people have been killed since an insurgency erupted in 2004 in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces, the only ones with Muslim majorities in the predominantly Buddhist country. Last year, the level of violence dropped, according to official figures, but peace talks have made little apparent progress.

The insurgents are known for drive-by shootings and bombs placed on parked motorcycles and cars.

Meanwhile, Thai security authorities quickly dismissed a claim Thursday by former prime minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh that an Islamic State (IS) cell was active in the far South of Thailand.

Gen Chavalit said he was wondering if the government was aware that a group calling itself “Black Swan” which, according to him, is an IS affiliate, was establishing a presence in the deep South….

    These people are not native to Thailand and basically should be sent home.

    Need I say it? Nothing to do with Islam!

    I wonder if the press in Thailand is effectively censored from making the connection between Islamic terrorism and Islam. Do they keep pushing the “nothing to do with Islam” stuff too?

      From Thailand– yes, they do! The Buddhist shrine bombed in Bangkok a month ago was denied as a terror attack UNTIL the perpetrators were identified as muslims.
      Even then the police investigators tried to pass it off as a reaction of Chinese Uighurs who had been deported.
      Bangkok Post follows the Guardian/BBC model of denial/appeasement.

      The southern tip of Thailand is western Malaysia, muslim and from where the [usual] slaughter emanates.

        The Bangkok bombing was done by Uyghur terrorists. Uyghur terrorists whom western imperialists support. The Grey Wolves backed by your CIA.

        The Malays keep their violence restricted to the Malay provinces in Southern Thailand and never attack in northern areas like Bangkok.

          And what’s the most widespread religion among Uighurs? Islam. Concidence?

      NO, muslims are ‘upset’ by EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING that suits their supremacist policies of conquest and subjugation- jihad, in a word.

    Nothing says “peace” like a car bomb.

    Southern Thailand is a buffer zone of militancy between the real Thailand and Malaysia – A Malaysia whose constitution makes Malaysia a secular country and guarantees freedom of religion, while establishing Islam(70% muslims) as the “religion of the Federation” .

    A secular, “freedom of religion” country that established Islam as the official religion. Confused yet? Expect more trouble if you live in Thailand.

    Is muslim-on-muslim violence islamophobia? If so, the islamophobia industry can really make a killing…

    The Thailand jihad makes a mockery out of the argument that if the Israeli Palestinian issue was worked out – or the latest – if western ‘Islamophobia’ [free speech] could be curtailed – it would end the Muslim violence around the world.

    But even if you could legally jail everyone in the west who criticized Islam – and worked out a two state solution in Israel – you still have the Southern Thailand jihad, you have Boko Haram and the Somalian religious forces in Africa. Go north there is the Pakistan and Afghanistan Taliban.

    That is not even counting ISIS – and the myriad of groups in Syria/ME.

    1° Degree Higher

    The western ‘Islamophobia’ argument – as a reason for the cause of Islamic terrorism – is no different – from the climate change argument. Where the Islamophobia argument sticks – is that controlling people is much easier. Compared to arguing – if we can just get over there and control climate in Syria the region would return to normal.

    All these arguments are baseless.

    Who controls speech around Islam more than Pakistan and there is a bomb a minute.

    What’s described as Islamophobia here is the west – is an expression of religious freedom in places like Saudi Arabia – where a person can be jailed or beheaded for.

    Islamic violence is called terrorism for a reason – they want an Islamic state – and will do most anything towards that end. That is what they are fighting for in Southern Thailand. It never has had anything to do with the west.
