gopnarak Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Locals in Afghanistan have described the Iranian influence as like a cancer. You mean something like the plague? The black death? No using their oil money for total power takeover. a conspiracy??? And i thought its about nuclear power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exsexyman Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 My understanding is that the Bali bombings were carried out by Al Qaida. You know, the ones the West armed and supported in Libya. Nothing to do with Hezbollah. Again its all in your head JT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mostly about Iran's political ambitions to dominate the entire middle eastern region. the nukes will help a lot with that. Look folks, its OK to come out and be pro Iran. I'm pro USA and pro Israel, proudly. If its going to be war, I'm not neutral. Edited January 15, 2012 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 My understanding is that the Bali bombings were carried out by Al Qaida, you know, the ones NATO and the West supported in Libya. Nothing to do with Hezbollah. More specifically they were the Jemaah Islamiyah faction and linked to Al Quaeda or the Taliban by the UN. Also known to have adopted the Hezbollah model.

Jingthing Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I didn't mean to imply the Thai government was helping Al Queda. I meant that Thailand is an easy base for terror cells to base and organize from historically so and no reason not now either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidu Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It is conceivable that a Hezbollah type group could be taking actions in Thailand. Part of their general outlook on the world is: Israel should be destroyed, as well as its people. So, an attack on Israeli interests within Thailand is not far-fetched, because Thai security is generally lax to a fault. Along with that, Hezbollah, like all extreme Islamist groups, believe everyone should eventurally see the world as they see it - Sharia law, and all the rest of their mandates. In lieu of that, it's not outlandish to picture some of their operatives trying to create fanatics (and later 'martyrs') here in Thailand. On the other side of the issue, some of my favorite people here in northern Thailand are Moslems, including a few young men who appear as decent and respectful as any I've met anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kropotkin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just a small reminder. Hezbollah and Iran are shiite muslims. Al qaeda are sunnite muslims. They see one another as traitors of the islam. They bomb one another in Iraq and Pakistan. They are like uda and ira. Not clever to mix them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erobando Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Oh please, I am not talking about the USA. I'm talking about Iran's heavy involvement in a number of middle eastern countries. You mean like Israel and Saudi Arabia? Iran just does the same as any other regional power in any other part of the world... support groups with similar causes and/or support enemies of their enemies. It's a bit of a stretch to conclude that Iran is therefore planning terrorist activities in Thailand or sending Hezbollah (whose interest is in their home of Lebanon, not SE Asia LOL) half way around the world to do their dirty work. And, please, tell me, what would be the benefit to either Iran or Hezbollah of such actions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Revenge. I didn't make up the warning about Hezbollah in Thailand. Believe it or not. I believe it. BTW, the terror in Thailand warning is STILL in effect: According to Thai sources, despite the arrest of the first suspect, the terror warning is still in force. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/thailand-hunting-hezbollah-operatives-planning-terror-attacks-against-jews-israelis-1.407352 Edited January 15, 2012 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espinoza Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Call me cynical but I can't help be reminded of the upsurge in hype and spin about WMD before we invaded Iraq. Sadham wasn't putting pictures of enriched nuclear rods that he was developing on TV. But the Americans do ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erobando Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Wow! I naively hadn't considered that Iranian funded Hezbollah may be infiltrating in their charming way into the Thailand specific conflict. Its not really surprising as this is a pattern coming from Iran. Locals in Afghanistan have described the Iranian influence as like a cancer. I guess it is worth considering now that thanks to Iran, the southern conflict in Thailand and the external conflict in the middle east may be considered related and linked. The article says nothing about the insurgency within the southern provinces that made up the former sultanate. There are Muslims in many other parts of Thailand that have nothing to do with that conflict. Some are also ethnic Malay but don't speak yawi, some ethnic Thai, some other ethnicities... and no connection to the idea of Patani Liberation/Independence. You're jumping to conclusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attack is coming from Hezbollah which is based in Lebanon because of Imad Mughniyeh who was blown up in Syria by the Mossad on 2008 so says the Jerusalem post and they should know because the Israel told the Thais about it on Dec 22.

farangme Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 American election fever? Huh? Have yet to see any coverage of this on American media. Political candidates are too busy bickering about each other and the economy. Wouldn't get coverage here in America until something blows up.

"infiltrating in their charming way into the Thailand specific conflict" would mean that they're getting involved in the insurgency in the far south. The article states nothing of the sort... there's no mention of the insurgency, nor is there mention that they are focusing on 3-4 provinces in which it exists. It claims they are recruiting "agents" but it doesn't state the purpose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
