Signaling that there will be no let-up in the jihad against Thailand.
“Thailand’s Muslim insurgents mark new year with attacks,” UCA News, January 5, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The New Year has brought no let-up in terrorism in Thailand’s restive Muslim-majority southernmost region with a series of bomb and gun attacks targeted at security forces.
Suspected Islamist insurgents attacked a military checkpoint in the province of Narathiwat on Jan. 3, killing a ranger and wounding two others, according to official sources.
During a shootout that lasted around half an hour, armed men exchanged fire with rangers at the checkpoint before retreating, officials said.
On New Year’s Eve, meanwhile, six bombs set by suspected insurgents exploded in the province of Yala, another of three violence-ridden provinces bordering Malaysia.
The bombs damaged power posts and a mobile phone signal tower, among other targets, leading to a blackout in the area, but there were no reported injuries.
The Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), a shadow separatist group whose name translates as National Revolutionary Front, claimed responsibility for the blasts.
The group said on its website that its “warriors of a new generation” were making their mark against the Thai state, whose rule over the predominantly Malay provinces the insurgents have sought to end.
Despite various peace-building initiatives aimed at local Muslims and heavy-handed crackdowns on suspected militants, Thai security forces have been unable to suppress militant cells that appear to operate with impunity at times since hostilities erupted in 2004….

Really, Thailand, instead of being a refuge for Rohingyas, should take lessons from Burma on how to deal w/ muslims. Had Thailand done to Yala what Burma did to Rankhine, they would be free of problems. Oh, and one more thing – they ought to build a wall on their Malay border. It wouldn’t be too long

Thailand: Muslims set off six bombs on New Year’s Eve, attack military checkpoint
………..
The bloody Jihad never ends.
Fitna says
Sadly true Graven, and there’s just a handful of Muslims involved. What’s is going to look like if millions of them decide to wage jihad against us?
They’ll shut down cities and destroy economies. If Iran gets nukes, then there’s that issue as well, along with Pakistan.
Robert Corrow says
The “moderate” version we’re told most Indonesian Muslims follow really is, of course, a pick-and-choose version of a totalitarian theocracy; one not tolerated in that nation’s Northernmost province: Aceh.
When asked about that, many “moderate” Muslims there–as elsewhere–assign the “terrorist” and “extremist” labels to those of their more devout brethren.
They’re not fooling just themselves.
The Political Oracle says
Does the US Government have surveillance assets to help the Thai government and its security forces at the border? If so, I would like to move to Thailand and get involved with securing their border as my wife and her family are native Thais, living in Thailand. I am quite worried about the advancement of Jihad violence now that Al Qiada and Taliban are working in Southeast Asia.
OLD GUY says
And we are bringing these islamic followers to our American neighborhoods. How foolish is that? Its kinda like raising Wolves in the Chicken coop. Won’t work out well for the chicken. Islam won’t work out well in America either, they will shed our blood on the streets of our neighborhoods. All you have to do is look around the world where Muslim/islamic populations are living in close contact with other religions. Islamic followers attack their non-islamic neighbors to force them to follow islamic law on a regular basis.

Wherever there is Islam, it’s the same old vicious endless violence. Violence and bullying is all that islam is all about. And it has never been any different for 1400 years. And yet we have so many fools around who actually believe that islam is basically peaceful. Those clowns must live on some other planet.
The Jamaican Kafir says
Or they could just be plane insane and think Islam is some how going to cool down if we are really nice and turn a blind eye to all of its vile effects ,
tim gallagher says
Yes, The Jamaican Kafir, I do think that that is how some of these very slow learners think. I have the feeling that the Pope seems to think that if he says how nice and peaceful Islam is, then it will miraculously turn into something nice and peaceful. Not a chance in the world that’s ever going to happen. Too many people won’t face reality when it comes to islam.
The Jamaican Kafir says
Islamic madness at its finest.
