these Malays sure seem like they got good reason to be angry! Still no excuse for terrorism though

I consider this a home made problem, which never has been dealt with properly, typical Thai.

Foreign meddling-made. There were other lines drawn on maps in other places as well.

In what context are you quoting my post? I did not mention a 'peceful religion'.

Quite true. Your post was a rebuttal to those who characterize regions and peoples with blanket generalizations.

And I found myself in agreement with points made in your post.

As it was a command directly from God to kill infidels then it isn't murder, it is the will of God. God is saddemed by the plight of Muslims as he only loves those that love Islam, and so He righteously commands that non-believers must die, the more horribly and painful the better. Of course only the righteous bombers and beheaders can hear the word of God, so those who are dogs in the gaze of God must take that at face value.

Unfortunately the ignorant, uneducated and fanatical (which encompasses both) actually believe such nonsense, as such they are not a pestilance that will not disappear quickly. Like the Christian nut cases before them religion is a tool of control for the religious elite, dogma is enforced through fear and mind control of the masses with no objective thought.

Have a look at some old movies, where the Arab was painted in a postive light, intelligent and discerning, so once upon a time things weren't like they are now. The US oil grab (which only benefits the greedy few) has ignited the problem, whether they are totally the cause or just fanned the existing flames is open to debate, but regardless the era of irrational Muslim violence is now upon us, and surrender via Western PC is certainly not the answer. I suspect that neither is more wars.

So very sad for the victims and their families who will continue to suffer, while those resposible sleep free of any remorse.

Not even Gandhi could make peace with the <deleted> Muslims nor can the Sunni majority. Countries delude themselves about making peace with them. Let them have their own country or join Malay and good riddance. To allow the continued death of good and innocent people is just not acceptable. Sad state of affairs, but not realizing they do not think like the majority of us is important.
